I honor my dreams by making space for them to grow.

In every life story, there’s a chapter dedicated to dreams. Whether quiet or bold, fleeting or forever, we all carry them. Some are big, like traveling the world. Some are deeply personal, like finding love or building something meaningful. But no matter their size, dreams give shape to hope. They remind us what matters.

I’ve been lucky. I’ve lived through some of the dreams I once only imagined; falling in love, getting married, creating a business rooted in purpose and creativity. But lately, I’ve realized I’ve been too rooted in reality to give new dreams the attention they deserve. I’ve been focused on the now, which is good, but dreams need space. They need imagination, belief, and the courage to start sketching the “what ifs” again.

So today, I’m reminding myself, and maybe you too, to make space for the dreams you haven’t fully allowed yourself to hold. They are part of you. And even if they take time, or shape-shift along the way, they deserve your attention. Let them live. Let them lead.
