The Dare Dreamer Movement by Julene Fleurmond

One of the greatest obstacles to following my dreams has been overcoming depression and the feeling of inadequacy. Over the years and through many struggles I’ve learned that joy is a choice and it is strength in the darkest of times…

I shared a glimpse of my story a few weeks back on Facebook and was surprised by the outpouring of support, people who said they were encouraged and even someone who messaged me to tell me that they were going through a down time in their life and I was able to give them an uplifting word.

Often our past can feel like something to be ashamed of but in reality your story and whatever you have overcome is vital to share to help other people get through – dare to be vulnerable, you have the hope someone else needs. This is my story…

It was 2009 during a dry, lonely season in my life when I had an unexpected encounter that rocked my paradigm. During the experience I had a vivid vision of being in a white dress in what seemed to be a grand forest. My first inkling was, “Is this The Garden?”

There was a calmness, a brilliance, a presence of #Love there. Like a little girl I was full of questions- “Father, why…?” I asked. He revealed his heart and love for people from the Beginning, in imagery and passion, an intimate experience I will never forget and could never have imagined on my own…

These words I remember my Father saying there were the most striking to my heart: “Do you trust me?”

Yes. I do. I will follow His way, always. Even when I don’t understand, I will choose Him. Forever… #IamMyBeloveds #HeisMine #trusttheAuthor #theLovestoryofalltime

My Beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away…

For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree ripens its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance.

Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.”

From the greatest Song of songs

You are a masterpiece, made with care and purpose to bring light to the world. Your worth is not in what you do or what you look like but in who you are created to be with Love.

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!

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! 🙂

Let’s not just celebrate love one day out of the year but everyday! Smile, because YOU are loved more than you can imagine or dream!
