Touchstone - definition : 1) a
black stone formally used to test the purity of gold and silver by the streak left on the stone when rubbed by the metal; 2) a test for judging something.
I came across this incredible quote this morning, it touches something deep inside. Our
dreams can be so fragile but without them are we truly living? To pursue a
dream gives us hope for the future but also gives our life purpose. If we do not strive for something what is the purpose of our lives? I know this is a bit deep for a Tuesday, but its just how these quotes affected me.
Our journey through life is a series of lessons - some we would rather not learn at the time but later (sometimes much later!) we look back and realize without that experience we would not be the person we are today.
Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
Henry David Thoreau
Sometimes, if you aren't sure
about something,
you have to just jump
off the bridge and
grow wings on the
way down.
Danielle Steel
I met someone through this wonderful virtual community
we call the internet not so long ago.
She has struggled for many years with addiction but
has now realized a dream of becoming sober and is now looking
forward to a bright future. Please visit her blog
and check out her book too.

Amazon Kindle Store. If you are searching for it,
you can type in ‘Michelle Smith Stone Princess’
or the ASIN number, which is B00C4CVSWG.
Another dear friend made her dream a reality a few years ago by starting her
own publishing company.
Dream Write Publishing http://www.dreamwritepublishing.ca/
has gone from strength to strength - helping authors
fulfill their dreams - many of whom would never
had their words published without her help.
I hope you are encouraged to follow your dreams - no-one is saying it is easy
but the sense of accomplishment at making a dream a reality is
worth it all. Go and chase your dreams...
