How to Make Your Dreams Come True in Elsewhere

I am going to take my magic wands, gifts from my daughter-in-law, Jami Good, and my Ultimate Concierge, Sheldon Good, and wave them over Elsewhere.

I believe in magic (though I will admit I help it along!) and I am pretending to hold them over your head while I say to you, “Harvest a list of positive hopes and dreams during this month of September with passion and purpose and your wishes will come true.”

My only request is that you have a positive outlook and a relentless attitude to harvest your aspirations in Elsewhere and in your life.

The leaves will soon begin to turn colors. Let their bright colors light your path as you turn over a new leaf. Give yourself a shot in the arm, darling. I am asking you to make your January resolutions now.

Sit down with a cup of coffee or tea in a quiet spot and make your list. And, I ask you to be authentic. Listen to your heart. It knows.

I know living in Elsewhere is living in a pressure cooker. We are dying to throw open our front door, toss off our masks, show our smiling faces to our family and friends as we run down our streets, without fear, yelling, “I am free! I am free!” It would be so nice to live the life we knew last February.

Find Your Personal Calling

We can dream of normal life in Elsewhere. Dreams do come true when you ‘work’ at a plan. Your work at this moment is to discover what you would love your calling to be.

You have physically worked raising your family and many of you have had outside careers. Now it is your time to work for personal fulfillment especially if you are beginning to feel empty after living so many days and nights in Elsewhere.

My Love Affair with Fairies

I have always had a love affair with fairies. I give fairies as gifts to my favorite people in my life. My mother has had her fairy, a gift from me 25 years ago. It is still hanging where I hung her. She is all white and when there is a soft breeze she moves slightly letting my mom know she is there.

When my granddaughter was probably five years old I gifted her a fairy with a note that read, “Always keep this fairy in your bedroom(s.) She will guard and protect you.” My granddaughter is moving into her first apartment… with her fairy.

I feel I have a fairy godmother who has guarded and protected me over the years because I want to believe in fairies. Period! In reality, I know I am my own Fairy God Mother… with attitude! And, so are you. We have to ‘work’ to make our dreams come true.

When You Wish Upon a Star

Darling, it is essential to have some attitude, good common sense, and authenticity to make your dreams come true. Resolve and authenticity complete your recipe.

I love the title of the song, When You Wish Upon a Star from the movie, Pinocchio. And, I love the title of Van Gogh’s painting, Starry Night, because I hope, like you, that all my dreams will come true. It is delightful to dream and I have seen many of my dreams come true when I turn my wish or a dream into a plan.

You, too, can shape your dream into something important to you. But, you have to work hard. Remember one of my mottos, “If you let fear stop you, you will never get started.”

Be a dreamer and a doer. You can wish upon a star as I do. But I know, and you know, we cannot entrust our hopes and wishes to stars. You must work in your dream. Your plan and your work enable you to reach for your star!

How to Get From Here to There When You Are Stuck

It is disconcerting to find yourself standing still in your life. After living so many days in Elsewhere it is very easy to do.

I suggest you look for clues when you find yourself standing still. Maybe you are trying to go after something and your heart is not in it? Or maybe you want to do many things and cannot pick the one? Or maybe you start and then drop the ball? Ask yourself what is holding you back. You really do know the answer when you think about your authentic feelings, your true feelings. Answer the call why and then push yourself to accomplish your dream.

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
