Hello Michelle,
I’m lurking on your blog. My first time seeing this quote, Dreams are free, so free your dreams. -Astrid Alauda – I’m drawn to it because I interpret dreams. In a literal sense, our dreams are powerful tools we can use to answer pressing questions and resolve troubling issues. It’s why we go to sleep.
This is really great! I always wonder what to tweet.. Great collection of quotes.. Love to tweet this! Keep up the good work!
have to show this one to a certain self-employment coach.
