WELCOME TO OUR NEW FORMAT. PLAYIN YOUR DREAMS AND‘TAKE’ 5 WILL BEGIN ITS NEW ‘THE ROAD NOT TAKEN’. WITH OUR NEW MISSION STATEMENT IN OUR PREVIOUS POST, I AM GRATEFUL AND EXCITED FOR OUR NEW DIRECTION. WHEN THE FORCES DICTATE, WE WILL BE SHARING AND PROMOTING THE DREAMS OF OTHERS IN CERTAIN SEGMENTS OF OUR WEBSITE.
Forces have dictated this new path. During my journey since the physical passing of Nick, I have discovered that when outside forces move you, it is more harmonious to flow with them than to fight against them. How many times have you done otherwise?
Even though, we find these outside forces frightening as they push us into the world of the unknown, we can learn to use these forces to shape the dreams of our lives. There is no age limit on dreams. However, how one treats oneself as one journey through life will have an effect on future dreams as one age.
Your daily decisions should be based on the following 3 simple principles.
- YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD.
- YOU ARE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND.
- WHEN IN DOUBT, REMEMBER TO ‘TAKE 5’. ASK YOURSELF TWO QUESTIONS.
- WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
- WHAT CONSEQUENCES CAN THERE BE?
Only you can protect your dreams. If you do not, others will then shape them for you and ensnarl you within their dreams. Your life will become dreamless with no directions or goals. Besides protecting one’s dreams, one must also be willing to promote and share their dreams with others.
A dream is just a wish, if it is not written down. A dream is just a wish, if it is not shared with others. Do all dreams come true? No. It could be a sign that a different dream is needed to achieve the results that one seeks.
Life is just about results. There are no winners or losers in this Game called ‘Life’. Each person has the ability to PLAYIN YOUR DREAMS.
This post is about 11,000 words. A maiden voyage awaits me as I will attempt to embed musical treats from these Minstrels and others throughout the post. It looks simple, but it will be new to me. As a back-up plan, in a formal audience, I have asked the ‘Siren of Song’ for her ‘Blessings’ on my voyage.
As we parted after her two fantastic sets the previous time. She blest me with a ‘Smile’ and an embrace. She then placed another gift in my hand. It was a slightly filled bottle of water she used.It now sits next a photo of Rudy. Mike Guido in red, arranged for Rudy to speak to our classes during our time at Las Vegas HS. We both shared his video of Inspiration and Dreams to our students.
She told me that within the bottle was her air. Her air carried the musical notes of her soul. If obstacles appeared now or in the future on my journey, I was to open the cap and let the air mixed with her musical notes fill my room.
She told me for that moment, I could visit a favorite place in my mind and that might overcome my obstacle. Use as much as I needed or wanted, she said, for the bottle would automatically replenish itself for an unlimited supply.
The sound and video of the ‘Musical Treats’ vary. You the reader can decide on its message. Most the videos will showcase the Minstrels as one very large Orchestra during their performance at the Cabaret Jazz, in the Smith’s Center in June of 2016, Other clips are from the last few months at The Lounge in the Palms Casino as David Perrico’s Pop String Orchestra.
