I am fond of these two quotes: “Without vision, the people perish,” and “If the dreams are big enough the facts don’t count.”
Thanks for honoring your mom with this moving account of how she inspired you, and for sharing the power of a great story.

Thanks for the inspiration this Monday morning. I passed this onto my 12-year old daughter who is an aspiring writer. Thanks again!

It impacted me on so many levels from being a strong mother to finding a vision in my business. As she had the courage to dream and see beyond her immediate circumstances so she has inspired many others to do the same!

Thank you for this article. I have two dreamers in my family, my brother and my sister. I have typically been the down to earth realest, however they are teaching me to dream and I love them for it. I sent this to them and my brother especially is having a difficult time right now and needed to read your tribute to dreamers!
Thank You!
Darla

Thank you for sharing yet again what drives your world and inspires others.

Bless you for sharing this here, on my daughter’s birthday, and for the reminder that sometimes dreams need adjusting. Other times they need a paint brush, and other times, they don’t come to fruition. But aren’t you glad your mom dreamed!
