Earlier this week, I had a conversation with a friend that I think might just direct the course of both our lives.

Have you ever had one of those talks with someone, when you’ve poured out your hopes and ambitions — desires that it feels like no one else in the world can perfectly empathize with or understand, but then you’ve seen what you long for mirrored in their dreams, too? That’s what happened. A renewed motivation kicked in for both of us, a determination that we can’t sit out our dreams. Because we know we’ll never be satisfied from the sidelines.

It’s time to not only admit but to shout, “I want this.” We’re through with simply dreaming about our dreams.~ Laura
