Dream

This is for anyone who thinks that Big Dreams are for "other people". My 4-year old daughter is holding copies of the newly published Handmade Beauty Business Magazine, a publication of the Handmade Beauty Network (HBN). For those who don't know, HBN is the business I started in 2000. At that time, I had big dreams and no money. But I started small. Believing I was on a divine appointment, I shared my dream with the world and waited. It took some time. A lot of time. And I was down to my last dime on more than one ocassion -- literally.
But after a while, others joined me to help launch an industry of people who care about producing beauty products that are made by hand from scratch using a high proportion of natural ingredients. Before I knew it, an entirely new industry was being birthed. Today, HBN is a worldwide community of entrepreneurs who inspire and encourage each other to new heights every day. The Handmade Beauty Business Magazine celebrates every one of them, and I am so very honored to have the opportunity to spread the word about the unique benefits of handmade beauty products via the printed word.
The Handmade Beauty Business Magazine is a tangible representation of what can happen when one person believes strongly and unwaveringly in a dream. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
Do you have a dream? Believe in your dream. Toast your dream. Nurture and protect it. Breathe into it the breath of life. And watch yourself soar.
Here's to your dream.
