“LIVE THE DREAM” has been my mantra since 2010. It started as a reference to “The Secret” and the law of attraction wherein you act as you already have something so the universe will manifest it for you faster. It then evolved into an encouragement to not just wait for the universe but to actually go and seek it instead of letting it just be dreams.  Eventually, it became a reminder that this life is the dream. You make it the dream. You fight for it and you continue to make it the dream.

The turning-21-year-old me had so much wonderful things to say about making it happen and I’m really glad I stumbled upon her words of encouragement:


Throw caution out the window and jump head first to your dream life. Make it happen! All that caution won’t cushion you from the blow that is ignoring your soul and your passion. Don’t worry about the challenges – you’ll be able to bear it as long as it’s something you really want.
