As a young child we are allowed to dream big! Yet we get to a certain age and we are expected to grow up! Well what about the dreams of when we were little? Are the dreams allowed to come true?
Is Dreaming Allowed Anymore?
I remember one particular High School Teacher who used to tell me to stop Day Dreaming. But I never listened to her – like ever!
Instead of doing school work, I would have my book open and I would “Pretend” to listen, but really I was far away in one of my many Dreams.
When I was growing up I always thought that I would have six children. Not sure what crazy idea that was all about. But I knew in my heart that I wanted a lot of children. We settled for five boys……yet I still have this Dream and it seems so real.
I dream that I have little girls, not sure how that is possible! Yet I can feel them, I can see them and they are so sweet. They also make our family complete. But there is one thing that stops my Dream from becoming really True.
Those sweet little girls have beautiful dark skin. Dark curly hair, and the biggest soul-searching eyes you have ever seen!
Youve Got To Have A Dream
If you don’t dream then you might as well be dead. Dead inside and going through the day-to-day living of just existing. Without my crazy dreams we would not be living in a Motorhome. We would not have five boys.
New Dreams Do Come True
We are getting ready to go free camping!
Yep – me who doesn’t like Camping….is getting things organised to try free camping. Why? Because of my dream to travel, and to show our boys things that I never saw when I was little.
How Will My Dream Of Having Girls Come True?
Every now and then I have this dream. I dream that I am pregnant and I am carrying two beautiful little girls. Two sweet dark-skinned little girls. With black curly hair, big dark eyes, and the most amazing smooth baby skin you have ever seen. I dream that I am carrying them, and then giving them life.
It seems so real, and they have that sweet baby smell. It seems that real that I wake up expecting to see them next to me, or laying in a baby bed not far from our bed. It then takes me a few moments to realise that I was dreaming.
So How Will My Dream Come True? Lately I have been doing a lot of soul-searching, and finding my voice, I am finding out who I am, what I stand for, and what I believe in. I have this deep ache to feel – my arms feel bare without a baby to hug.
Yet we are not having anymore babies (nor can we have Dark-Skin Gorgeous Babies!) so I think that the universe is getting me ready for another way to have more babies in our life.
Maybe its through fostering.
Maybe its through sponsoring a child.
Maybe its through adoption??
Maybe its through Granddaughters…mind you that can wait a few more years PLEASE boys!
I am not sure about the how, I just know that some how, sometime soon, in some way we will be adding Girls to our family and sharing the love around. Will my dream come true? I believe so because when ever I think about something it usually happens!
It’s a crazy world we live in, and things happen. Things that I never thought would ever happen.
Our life has come full circle, so adding a baby to our family – be it in sponsorship (even though we are helping from afar) – would be fitting. It would be like God (universe) is showing us what we should be doing. What we were meant to be doing with our life. How our life is meant to help others.
Another way that I keep thinking about my dream, is to go overseas to help (volunteer) in a orphanage (am I politically allowed to use that term?). It’s not even something that I would have any idea on how to go about getting there, or even where.
But its like I feel this pull in this direction – almost like a vision keeps coming to me, where I am somewhere different. Somewhere I havent been to before, and living there. Helping. Giving. Being with babies.
Lots of Babies.With their sweet smells, and there need for someone to care for them. What about my family?
I am not sure – they must be with me…but yet my dream is not clear enough – am I there for short time, and my family is still here in Australia? Or do we all move over there and begin our new life?
Not sure.
Dont have all the finer details worked out – just know that Youve Got To Have A Dream for life to be worth living.
Do You Have A Dream?
Cheers

Hi Jasmin,
Oh thank you so much xxx
Lisa that is so moving, I am in awe of your dream! I just know it will come true and those girls will be part of your beautiful family. That the dream isn’t clear just doesn’t matter and won’t stop you! With such a huge beautiful heart and loving family you would be a gift to so many children.
sending love as always

Hi Lisa,
thanking you for your gorgeous support! You are so true – the how is not important as it will become clear and it will come true. I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately and its amazing what is coming from it.
Cheers
Lisa
(Deep breath, smile, and sigh) You are so right… dreaming seems so, yesterday… so 1990 sometimes, doesn’t it? But hey, we can bring it back 🙂 All the best as your dreams reveal themselves to you in due time. And thanks heaps for joining our link-up. Appreciated more than you know. XO.

Hi Lindsey,
Wonder why dreaming is not accepted in our society when we are all “Grown UP” !! I love dreaming (and dreaming big!) so I reckon that one day it will be the “in thing” to do 🙂
Thanking you so much for the great link up!
Cheers
Lisa
