Dreams to Light

Girl looking to the sky and dreaming
Can I be a nurse? 
Cure people so they can live
Feed the hungry ones
Provide homes to all people
From my dream I awaken

~Little girls with dreams become women with vision-unknown~

Now that I'm older
Recruit all the helping hands
Volunteer, I am
My vision is bright and clear
Fight the good fight, persevere

Dreams to Light is about little girls who have big dreams of their own. Some are realized and some are merely a dream. Growing up and coming of age, into adulthood, womanhood, the vision forms. It can be as simple as gathering like-minded people together. Maybe even starting to act on those long-lost dreams as a child.

We all have different experiences in life and different ideas about what the world should look like, how people should live. It all starts with imagination and transforms to something bigger, more meaningful. If only we dare to bring those dreams to light.

Dreams turn to visions, then into movements. I pose this question to women who had dreams as a child; how has your dream shaped your life today?

Thank you for reading! 🙏🏽💞
