The idea came to me one evening after speaking with a close friend. She is a singer, who, over the period of a year, had made great strides toward renewing her singing career, only to find her hopes fade as people around her no longer actively supported her goal.
I felt so disappointed for her. A great waste of energy and talent.
That evening, after our conversation, I thought about what I could do to encourage my friend to keep going in spite of setbacks. I knew that one or two or even 10 pep talks would not do the job; she needed to have a continual source of support. She also needed to have a plan that would see her through to the realization of her goal.
Late that night, a simple idea came to mind: Sharing dreams. Two people, two dreams, a commitment of ongoing support. From there, the concept of "Dreamshare ©" emerged.
"Dreamshare © " is a goal-planning concept. It is based upon a buddy system that encourages women and men to follow up and affirm one another's goal processes. Your goals can be long-term or short-term. But I have called this Dreamshare ©, because I especially want to encourage your longer-term goals... the ones that may take a year or more to realize.
By the way, the singer whose story began Dreamshare is now the lead singer of a group that is working out of Canada. She is doing very well.
Live Your Dream!
