The Dare Dreamer Movement by Julene Fleurmond

You are browsing the archives of 2016 June.

We were created to create. Life is meant to be a colorful adventure full of wonder and discovery…but sometimes “reality” happens and we abandon our creative dreams for a life that is more – well, practical.

Join me as I pursue my creative dreams of inspiring others through art, words and music. I hope sharing my journey will inspire you to overcome hurdles to live your dreams too…

Here at the Dare Dreamer Movement on DreamFleur.com you’ll find inspiration and resources that will motivate and assist you in pursuing your passions and building your creative business or career.
Boldly live out your purpose and dreams to brighten the lives of others!

I know how it feels to be discouraged, afraid and trying to live out your dreams alone…Need a cheerleader (that’s me;) to motivate you on your journey of dreams? Join Our Community to Share Your Dreams, and Get Support, Inspiration and Motivation for Your Purpose! – Julene Fleurmond

The promo video for STORY in Chicago (for more on the event visit storygathering.com) caught my attention and was like God drawing me in to see what He’s been speaking to my heart over the past few years, about reigniting our creativity to dream like children again:

What if we can reclaim the places where imagination has been lost and find the whisper that beckons us to look past the ordinary…what would we discover?

This is your Invitation to Another World…

“That’s what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination and instill hope again, and again, and again.” – Walt Disney
These words from STORY are a call for creatives to step into their calling:

“While all is chaos and grief and anger and confusion – we are called to instill hope again…We each need to be reminded of the power we have as storytellers.

“You’ve heard, “look for the helpers,” which is part of a quote from childhood icon Fred Rogers about where to find inspiration following a crisis. I say, look for the storytellers. You and I have a tremendous opportunity to re-write the narratives society plays out day after day.
Because you can tell a story well, you have influence. More than you know…” – via the STORY blog

I happened to come across this movie on Netflix and it’s the cutest thing ever – a breath of fresh air and so sweet. It stars Nicole Beharie (from Sleepy Hollow) and Ken Duken (whose not hard on the eyes;), and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for something uplifting, has elements of faith, romance and a story you can both laugh about and feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The music is also amazing – Nicole can sang…Here’s a little story behind the movie from the filmmakers – I’m a screenwriter and love hearing how creatives bring their art to life:

“The biggest dreamers are kids – we dream big, we dream of things that don’t even exist yet…”

Love this young entrepreneur, 11-year-old Mikaila Ulmer (founder of Me & the Bees Lemonade that is distributed at Whole Foods) and her words at the State of Women Summit! <3 Kids show us how we were meant to dream - freely and creatively! Check out Mikaila's story below:

We create & dream because our Father dreams – you are Love’s dream, part of His great story…When we create we are reflecting the Creator and who He uniquely, beautifully created us to be since the beginning…

Dare to be and dream differently – express who God created you to be through everything you do! He made you fearfully and wonderfully in Love💖, with ideas, quirks and a combination of talents no one else has! You weren’t made to be “normal,” for comparison or to fit in – it’s embracing your uniqueness and daring to break out of the box and break some rules that makes you stand out.

You are a gift💝 but you weren’t made to be boxed it🎁 – color outside the lines to pioneer a new path that no one has seen…People like Walt Disney🐭 and Oprah Winfrey🎬 inspire me (I might have been their wild child😜) because they paved new paths, defined their own success and innovated unique dreams that did not exist before and didn’t wait for anyone’s validation.

For the longest time I felt pressured to do what others expected me to or to fit a mold so others can like me but that’s no way to live! Dare to be you to the full and live your dreams differently the way God gives it to you, not how society says you have to – we don’t have to conform to that pattern but we’re made to bring a whole new way of living to Earth.

Sometimes your “weakness,” flaws and the things you don’t know can become your greatest strengths! Embrace your weird and be quirky, silly😼, funny, creative and most of all you because no one else can be beautifully YOU and live your dreams like only you can👈🏽, how He intended you to since the beginning…
