The Dare Dreamer Movement by Julene Fleurmond

The Young Dreamer section consists of content from Dreamfleur’s youth motivation site www.DreamerENT.com and other posts prevalent to encouraging youth to be creative and enterprising.

Every second of each day is precious! This is your time to flourish and shine – use it wisely and creatively! I spent some time planning and painting to kick off 2015…what are some steps you can take to get you closer to that vision in your heart?

A goal of mine is to share more of my original inspirational paintings with the world at Envibrance Dream Creations. I’ve decided to plan and work on this goal consistently to ensure that I keep up the traction.

Need a resource to help you keep track of your dreams? I love my Flourish Planner from Monica Lee at Smart Creative Women! It was one of the sparks that inspired me to get my watercolors out again – Monica’s painting on the cover is so inspiring as well as the quotes throughout! Find this planner, other designs and her amazing show where she interviews women in the business of creativity at SmartCreativeWomen.com!

Below listen to my inspirational pep talk for you entering the New Year “It’s Your Time to Flourish and Shine”

David Oyelowo & Oprah Winfrey star in SELMA, in select theaters Christmas Day, everywhere January 9th. Visit the official site: http://SelmaMovie.com

One dream can truly change the world – when people come together for a greater vision! The film SELMA brings to life a relevant glimpse of the human experience through the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and is powerful and timely – with truths this world truly needs. SELMA is a must see and the message goes deeper into the spirit and far beyond what’s on the surface of the issues we faced then and today.

Why This Film is So Important: What happened in Selma we see happening today is more than a race issue – it’s a spirit issue. We are spirit having a human experience in unique, beautiful vessels that Love created. Darkness tries to keep us from seeking deeper truth and distracts us from seeing Light by having us focus on what we see – the temporary.

We’ve warred among ourselves since the beginning of history but the real issues in life are rooted in the greatest battle at hand – against darkness and principalities, for spirit and eternity. From the genesis of our world to the revelation we have now, it’s time to come back, to return to love and the way God meant our lives to be.

Thank you director Ava DuVernay, Oprah Winfrey, David Oyelowo and everyone involved for bringing us this inspiring story, life-piercing art and the vital message to live a dream of impact that focuses on a higher purpose. #Selma #forsuchatimeasThis #Glory

“I will not be focusing on what I want today – I’m focused on what God wants…His truth is marching on…” – David Oyelowo in the film SELMA

I loved hearing the stories behind the making of this story, watch the full press conference for the SELMA movie below, with the actors, producers and more including David Oyelowo, Jeremy Kleiner, Oprah Winfrey, Tim Roth, Common, Tom Wilkinson, Dede Gardner, Carmen Egojo, Andrew Holland and director Ava DuVernay.

The song “Glory” from the movie, a striking collaboration between John Legend and Common, is so inspiring and has deep truths for anyone to hold on to:

Often what you loved to do and dreamed of as a child is a clue and purpose-pointer to what you’re called to do today…

One of my dreams since I was a little girl was to be an entrepreneur and share my art and inspiration with the world. I recently found some of my first business plans that I created with Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) at NFTE South Florida and realized I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 20 years since I was in elementary school and running my current business Envibrance Dream Studios that I started as a teen for 10!

I want to pay it forward and share mentorship and wisdom by giving the gift of entrepreneurship to other young dreamers (or the kid in you, remember when you dreamed and was creative without limits?) with this awesome book “The Parents’ Guide to Raising CEO Kids” by Dr. Jerry Cook and Sarah L. Cook. My story is featured here along with other inspiring entrepreneurs of all ages with great advice on how to start a business and cultivate entrepreneurship no matter where you are in life. You can get this book for yourself or a friend here. Another inspiring gift you can give is an inspirational T-shirt/print of your choice from my line Envibrance Dream Apparel I will be doing periodic giveaways on my Facebook page here so join the community to join the party!

Don’t delay on your dreams because you never know who is waiting to hear the hope of your story and to experience the beauty you were made to bring to this world! ‪#‎LiveYourDreams‬ ‪#‎TheWorldAwaits‬ ‪#‎BeaKid‬ ‪#‎PermissiontoPlay‬

What are you afraid of that’s keeping you from living your purpose and dreams?

Just a few years ago if you put me (more like dragged me) onto a stage and ask me to speak I’d be shaking in my boots – literally!

I hated the spotlight. The thought of talking to people, even in one-on-one conversation, petrified me. Years of being chained by anxiety since childhood imprisoned me.

It was taking small brave steps that challenged me – and also realizing that the people I’m meant to impact are more important than my fears – that encouraged me to be bold.

That teen girl who was considering suicide is more important than the fear that I will say the wrong thing. Those women who are afraid of following their dreams matter more than me being cozy in my comfort zone.

Your voice matters and your purpose is vital to others who are waiting to experience what you are gifted to bring. Every person has purpose no matter what they do but everyday people leave this earth with their vision still inside, and we all miss out on the unique beauty beating in their hearts.

What you fear often is an indicator to what you should do, so instead of avoiding it, look closely at where you are being called to.

After years of being paralyzed by fear I now find myself feeling at home on all kinds of stages speaking to hundreds of people and doing creative presentations that I never thought possible!

Fear is too small a thing to keep you from who you are meant to be, where you are led to impact with your light, who you are called to free. So DARE Dreamer and live boldly because you were made for this! #AriseandShine #LiveonPurpose – Julene

P.S. You can get a Live Boldly Everyone Has Purpose T-shirt or hoodie from my shop to remind yourself and others of this truth! http://envibrance.com/shop

Want to inspire the little Dreamers in your life to Dream BIG and nurture the dreams of the younger you? If you do, stay tuned to Dreamfleur for a special project and motivation series I’m launching to inspire and nourish your sweet dreams…

One of my dreams is to encourage young people to be entrepreneurs and Dreamers through my project DreamerENT.com, motivating them to start tapping into their purpose (focusing on who they are meant to be) right where they are. I also have a passion for inspiring YOU to reconnect with yourself when you were a kid – remember when you dared to dream freely? It’s time to reclaim that boundless childlike wonder and creativity and revive those sleeping dreams!

I’ve been a Dreamer and entrepreneur ever since I was a little girl sharing my artwork with friends and family (that’s me in the framed picture above). I recently realized that I started my current business Envibrance Dream Studios 10 years ago when I was a teen through the support of a wonderful organization that I am very grateful for, Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). Wow, time has flown by!

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Envibrance, over 20 years as an entrepreneur and my birthday this month I’ll be launching some new sweet dreams both for young Dreamers you know and the young Dreamer in you!

Stay tuned here and keep daring to live those dreams in your heart – they’ll make the world a sweeter place! While you’re at it, today eat a cupcake or two (preferably the healthy and organic kind;), they’ll make your day a bit sweeter too. Sweet Dreams, Dreamer – Julene @dreamfleur
