Music Journey: You’re Worth More Than Gold Inspired by Britt Nicole
Who says you have to be perfect to begin pursuing your passion? One of my mottos is to follow the dreams in your heart no matter how impossible or lofty they may seem or how afraid you may be or unqualified you may feel. Follow me on my journey of unearthing and growing my buried dream of sharing inspiration through music. I’m starting out with a passion and a seed of a vision, improving and learning as I go along from vocal lessons to recording sessions and want to share the process, imperfections and all, to encourage you to also delve boldly into your own passions even while you’re afraid. My dream is to create music with purpose to inspire others, especially young people, that they have a greater reason for living.
I’m always looking for new collaborators to write and produce music with – send me a message if your heart resonates with the mission of creating music with a greater message and vision!
Below: Singing “Gold” by Britt Nicole – Britt is one of my favorite artists and a great influence and inspiration for my music. I met her briefly at an event a few years ago and her heart and words encouraged me to pursue this dream of singing to inspire…
Inspiration from Marie Forleo on Living Your Purpose and Winning a B-School Scholarship
A Must-See: Below watch my favorite interview from MarieTV that has inspired and encouraged me immensely where she interviews Mastin Kipp on Living Your Purpose
Marie Forleo is a creative force with a passionate heart for helping others that you can see in all she does. She’s been interviewed by Oprah Winfrey and Tony Robbins and is the founder of MarieTV and B-School that will both give you valuable information about building a business of your dreams, make you laugh out loud and touch your heart. I’ve been inspired by Marie’s work for years now and look up to her as a mentor, role model and fellow multi-passionate entrepreneur.
Recently I applied for a B-School scholarship and would love to have your support as I boldly am taking steps to help Dreamfleur and this community flourish so I can help women and youth discover and pursue their purpose and creative passions even more effectively. Watch the video above where I share my story and heart behind my dreams and and if you enjoy it leave a comment and like on Youtube to help spread the word, I appreciate your support!
Thank you Marie for sowing into my life so much already! Best wishes to anyone else who is applying for a B-School scholarship! To anyone else who sees this and has a business they would like to grow, check out B-School and find out how can help your dreams come to fruition: http://joinbschool.com
Why I’m Applying to B-School
Over the past few years I’ve overcome difficult circumstances and have gotten clarity on my purpose and dreams with the help of mentors. Now I’m ready to share what I’ve learned about following your calling with others and need expertise on how to reach those assigned to me!
When it comes to marketing I feel like I’m floundering instead of flourishing. I would love to glean from your wisdom on how to reach those I am meant to serve through creative branding and encouraging them to overcome their past and follow their dreams and cultivate their purpose by nourishing others with their stories.
After years of feeling isolated in my business it would also be a joy to be part of such a vibrant community of creative dreamers and doers (and will happily dance bomb and encourage others while I’m there, watch the video to see;). I love watching the other entries from everyone else who has applied, there are so many inspiring women in Marie’s community, click here to take a look!
To everyone here, continue following your dreams – they are there for a reason beyond what you can imagine or see…don’t let us miss out on seeing you come alive and being enriched by your story and beauty!
The Wait: My Interview with DeVon Franklin and Meagan Good on Love and Patience | We Dream of Love Series
Being a twenty-something myself, love is one of the most popular topics among my peers and I (and the topic of many a Facebook status update announcing engagements and nuptials – thanks alot Mark Zuckerberg;). For my first We Dream of Love Inspiration InterviewI interviewed DeVon Franklin who is an inspiring speaker, producer, former Senior Vice President of Columbia Tristar Pictures and author of the bestselling book Produced by Faith, and his wife Meagan Good a talented actress. In the first part of their interview above they give advice to singles on preparing for a mate, and talk about the book they are writing together on waiting.
Stay tuned for more from DeVon and Meagan and other inspiration and resources on relationships in the We Dream of Love Series at DreaminSoul.com.
Last year DeVon and Meagan shared their story and advice to other couples and singles at a special service “Kingdom Love” at One Church International hosted by Pastor Touré Roberts (author of the book Purpose Awakening). Watch them share their hearts in a raw and real way below:

A Note from Dream in Soul Editor Julene
God writes the best #Love stories – you don’t have to strive, compare, or hold on to someone who doesn’t treat you how you’re worth. You are worthy not because of the physical or material, anything you did or didn’t but because of Whose you are…
You’re already affirmed by He who wonderfully made you in and for Love. When He desires to bring people together in & on purpose He will do it intricately, strikingly and beautifully beyond anything we can imagine or dream for reasons deeper than we realize. Keep your eyes on Him – He’s our true eternal prize. There is no greater Love. – Julene Fleurmond, Editor of Dream in Soul
More from the Editor’s Journal:
How He Loves…Always
He loves me?
Sometimes experiencing what we call romance in this world leaves us wondering what love truly is. You feel that happy pounding and patter in your chest when he reveals a bouquet of roses and candy. Getting hurt though can peel away the layers of our hearts, like someone plucking the petals from a flower…

The Best Valentine Card Ever From Me to YOU (and My Future Husband:)
My students create the cutest cards but this one I made for you my readers and my future purpose partner takes the cake, don’t you think? (I wish they had these when I was in 3rd grade that I’d give to the one who got away;). If you know how much I love Oprah and have even since childhood you’ll understand! 🙂
