Going through things you never thought you’d go through will only take you places you never thought you’d get to. Life has dreamed a dream for you!

It feels as though I’m just beginning to plug into the dream that life has dreamed for me. I have no idea where life is taking me. I never thought I would be a blogger, but without realizing it, I allowed the Universe to take over and guide me. Without realizing it, I let go of how hard it was and just jumped in. Looking back, I can see that people and situations were put on my path to guide me to where I am today and I know there is so much more ahead. I have to hold on loosely and surrender to the dream that life has dreamed for me because the tighter I hold on and the more I try to force things, the more I push the dream away. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have to work, somedays work really hard, but I must do it out of love and a desire to be of service. That has to be the focus. I’ve journaled and prayed about my grandest dreams and now I’m trying to live mindfully in the present and let the things I’ve been through stay in the past where they belong. The present moment is where the guidance is. The present moment is eternal…because it is always the present moment. That is our spiritual connection to time and the present moment is where we find Guidance.

When you really want something it’s easy to become fixated on the fact that it hasn’t happened. Decide today to let the Universe take over. Be specific about what you want, hold a vision in your mind and then release your tight grip and trust that it will appear in its grandest version in perfect time. There are no accidents. Your dream is only as far as your imagination can see, but the Universe can see more. Your dreams are big, but I believe, the Universe has a bigger dream for everyone. Listen to the call of your dream. So many people spend their whole lives wishing and hoping, but, like Oprah says…”you don’t get what you hope for or what you wish for, you get what you believe.” Surrender the dream for your life to the grand and divine flow.

You might wonder how I’m going to tie in this beautiful Ulla Johnson dress to what I’m saying, but the dress truly did inspire me to talk about dreams and grand visions. When I saw it, I immediately fell in love with it and the word that came to mind was ethereal. When I looked up the definition of ethereal, it was…extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world! The flecks of metallic gold and the deep rich fall colors make it shimmer like the light coming through the trees on the most beautiful fall day. It’s a vision of how I want my life to be!

Ulla Johnson designs are inspired by her travels and her life in New York city. Her attention to detail, the quality of construction, use of natural fibers and the beautiful finishing is consistent in each of her collections. I believe that objects can hold energy and wearing Ulla Johnson makes me feel like I’m wearing a work of art designed just for me! They are truly special pieces.

“If we take eternity to mean timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.” - Ludwig Wittgenstein

Do you have a dream for your life and do you believe that the Universe has an even bigger dream for you?
