Burning Beneath

Dreams require hard work, resistance to obstacles, and perseverance. The journey to fulfilling them isn’t just about having a vision—it’s about acquiring the skills, resources, and mindset necessary to bring them to life.

For years, I’ve carried a dream: owning a small camper van and traveling freely. Sometimes, I imagined doing it with my kids; other times, I pictured solo adventures when they were older. But financial challenges, responsibilities, and the unpredictability of life always pushed that dream to the side. After multiple attempts and long periods of setting it aside, I finally decided to bring it back to the forefront.

This year, I placed it on my vision board—front and center, where my eyes naturally land every morning. Out of all the sections, my gaze always drifts to the lower left corner: the circle dedicated to travel and my dream camper van. Without realizing it, I was manifesting that dream, fueling the desire, the search, and the belief that it could be real. And what do you know? I finally found the perfect starter van to transform into my dream home on wheels.

I’ll be dedicating a new section on my website to document this journey—the process of building, designing, and ultimately living this dream. But for now, I want to ask you:

What is your dream? The one that keeps resurfacing no matter how many times you set it aside? The one you can’t quite let go of, even when life gets busy, burdens pile up, and circumstances force you to pause?

Life is short. Everything can change in an instant. If you have a dream, don’t leave it on the back burner indefinitely. You only live once—so follow your dream and make it happen.
