You Were Made to Flourish – It’s Time to Live On Purpose
I used to play it safe, really just living out the dreams I thought were practical – deep down scared cause some of my deepest dreams seemed impossible. They seemed too wild and crazy like “what are ya thinking…that can’t really happen.” Oh yeah, it can. What I didn’t fully realize was that I was made to fly, you were made to soar. WE were made to love & flourish, not to keep our purpose buried inside, doing the world a disservice…
Truth is anything’s possible, if you truly believe, live boldly and put your #dreams in the great Gardener’s hands – He’s the one that planted those visions in your heart in the first place. Lately I’ve been seeing dreams I’ve had for the longest time coming true, it’s almost surreal, but no it’s SO real. We were made for this. DareDreamer live on Purpose…

Message in the Music: Always Wear Your Unbreakable Smile, Inspired By Tori Kelly
Tori Kelly is bringing it to the music scene – I love her meaningful lyrics and refreshing style and personality. One of my favorite songs from her is “Unbreakable Smile,” from her debut album of the same name. In it she addresses being judged and holding on to her identity in her rise in the industry, with an unbreakable smile no matter what anyone says. I think you’ll love the song as much as I do:)
Wherever you go the best things to bring are Love and your unbreakable smile (and some sparkle and shine of course;) 💖 You’re beautiful my friend and your smile lights up the world! Like the lyrics of Tori Kelly’s song say don’t let anyone shatter you or make you feel less than you are – a star🌟!
Thanks to my friend Sabbath who spontaneously took this pic for me (below) while we were at Megafest so I could post for for Tori Kelly’s partnership MTV and CoverGirl for a VMA #covermoment contest. I’m a total Tori Kelly fangirl😍 and would love to meet her – even the new curly hair style in this pic is inspired by hers – love her heart, music and curls! 😙
Be sure to follow Tori Kelly and find out more about her music and tour at ToriKellyMusic.com. Click here to get “Unbreakable Smile” on iTunes!
“‘Cause I know who I am, yeah I’m still the same
Just a California girl with big dreams
Thinking maybe they’ll let me sing songs about real things
And baby who knows maybe I can sell out shows without taking off my clothes
God made me sexy I don’t care if only I know
La da da da dee, you’re not breaking me
La de da da da, ain’t got time for ya, singing
La da da da dee, you won’t shatter me
La de da da da, got an unbreakable smile”
– Lyrics from Unbreakable Smile

Love Sets You Free to Play and Dream – Dare Dreamer Be Free
We began our journey on this Earth with the freedom to discover, to explore with wide-eyed wonder, we dreamed, we played naturally – until we lost our trust and fear drew us away from our real life reverie and the freedom that is ours…
What would happened if we embraced the childlike freedom to dream and play again?
I was inspired to do research for my education doctorate program on the power of play in learning and creativity for kids and “grown up” kids, and how play is beneficial to our productivity, creativity, and health. Recently at my research presentation I brought blowpops, bubbles, balls and other toys for the educational professionals to play with – and they did! It was a sight to see (and giggle at! Can you imagine your school’s teachers and principals blowing bubbles?;). I loved seeing them ignite their inner-child!
I encourage you to do the same! The first journey of the Dare Dreamer Movement is reconnecting with the child in you and the boundless creativity that has been stifled by your life experiences. Let’s regain the freedom we had to dream and live with wonder and whimsy – the Love that created us gives us permission to be free from the darkness and trials of this world and live in light and possibility.
What can you do today to add an element of play to your life?
For me it has been adding more time to do art, dance and write songs without caring what others would think. I’d love you to share how you would play with me!
