“If I’m afraid, it doesn’t mean that I’m not brave.
And if I doubt, it doesn’t mean that I’ve lost faith.
And if I fall, if doesn’t mean I can’t go on.
And if I cry, it doesn’t mean that I’m not strong.&#8221;

<p>“If I’m afraid, it doesn’t mean that I’m not brave.</p>
<p>And if I doubt, it doesn’t mean that I’ve lost faith.</p>
<p>And if I fall, if doesn’t mean I can’t go on.</p>
<p>And if I cry, it doesn’t mean that I’m not strong.&#8221;</p>
<p>        &#8212;  from Jana Stanfield’s CD, Brave Faith </p>
<p>What good is it to feel the power rush through you; the life force of incredible exuberance and passion and then allow the ego to create walls and boundaries that impede the creative force of your divine right to expand upon the beauty of your creation?</p>
<p>How frustrated can your own spirit feel when you enslave your greatest gift because of your current belief systems?  </p>
<p>I am full of questions for you today&#8230; What if you allowed Inspiration to walk with you to show you a glimpse of the incredible future that can be yours?</p>
<p><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyNTA5MDYxNDczMTcmcHQ9MTI1MDkwNjE1MDc4NiZwPTE3NjAzMSZkPXd3dy5Db21tZW5*WW91LmNvbSZnPTEmbz*xNTllZWIzYjU*OTg*MDE3YjY1M2Q4NzFiNzA2ZGUyMQ==.gif" /><a href="http://www.CommentYou.com"><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y41/Freefreq/Inspiration/images/imagine_3.gif"  alt="CommentYou.com is your One Stop Shop"></a><br /><a href="http://www.commentyou.com" Graphics"><font size="2"></a></p>
<p>By inspiration we are moved to create the most amazing feats.  Yet inspiration can be brief and sporadic, to some even rare.</p>
<p>Inspiration coupled with fantasy allows your soul to soar to incredible heights.  You become the artist with unlimited canvass and potential.</p>
<p>When you are inspired all seems possible, you see the world with crystal clarity.</p>
<p>Ask yourself and answer true:</p>
<p>What is it that inspires me?<br />
Who is it?<br />
What stirs my affection…for the things I love to do?</p>
<p>If you can fill your life with the things that stir your affections and avoid the things that rob you of inspiration, you will have a better opportunity to live that incredible future that awaits you.</p>

Come share this space with me:  The Fence</p>
<p>From the fence the world stands still, above us the sky peacefully paints a story with the clouds.</p>
<p>Below us the grass sways gently as the wind blows gingerly by.</p>
<p>From the fence all is good, together you and I.  No words need to be shared, just the joy of<br />
being&#8230; you and I.</p>
<p>The gust of wind may blow us free, yet the memory of the sweet space brings us back to the simplicity of just you and me on the fence, where we are free to be just you and me.  </p>
<p>A place where love has no boundary.  A place where we are perfect being just you and me.</p>

Through imagination we open a world of infinite creation.  </p>
<p>It is through imagination that authors take us into places they&#8217;ve created with mystical creatures and fascinating locations.  It is through imagination that song writers melody take us to past memory or hook us into creating new ones.  It is through imagination that artists captivate us with their paintings, and architects amaze us with their feats.</p>
<p>It is through imagination that the greatest love could be experienced.</p>
<p>Imagine the possibilities when you allow your mind to draw upon the canvass before it, imagine your world: the magic, the colors, the adventure.  Imagine your lover: the touch, the look, the love.</p>
<p>Your imagination gives you a glimpse of all that you can manifest, you are the magic.  You are the writer, the director and ultimately the actor of that grand play of imagination.  Your world can be as real as you want to imagine it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://daisy.raisler.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/dream_a_z.jpg' title='dreamworld'><img src='http://daisy.raisler.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/dream_a_z.thumbnail.jpg' alt='dreamworld' /></a></p>
<p>I felt anxiety rising though my chest. The tension was building up through me&#8230; slowly I began connecting with the tension and started looking around me, there were unfamiliar people around me as I was walked down the streets of an old town. I felt a sense of panic but couldn&#8217;t connect to the &#8216;why&#8217; I was feeling the sensation.</p>
<p>I looked up at the sky above me, trying to determine the time of day. By the position of the sun it seemed to be a couple hours past noon. I made mental note&#8230; &#8216;yes, I could still make it home before night fall&#8217;. For no apparent reason, I headed towards the direction of the descending sun but after walking several miles the landscape became more unfamiliar and again I sensed the anxiety rising within me. </p>
<p>I spotted what appeared to be a bus stop and noticed there were several people sitting at the bench so I headed that way. I asked if the bus would go to Bonao and the lady smiled and said..&#8221;the bus does not stop here, we come here to celebrate the arrival of the Queen of Harvest&#8221;. I thought to myself, that&#8217;s not the answer I wanted to hear&#8230;and who&#8217;d want to celebrate harvest on such a barren land? The man sitting next to her gave me an uncomfortable smirk&#8230; and I quickly realized it&#8217;s time for me to go, because now I knew why I was having the anxiety sensation. </p>
<p>I felt like I was lost.</p>
<p>The phone in my purse was ringing.. that was the oddest thing&#8230; since when did I begin carrying a purse? After my years of police work I felt I no longer needed a purse &#8211; I only used it to carry my gun, but now I looked inside and I had three phones. There were two cell phones and a house phone.. that was odd, what good is a house phone in my purse? I reached for the cell phone that was ringing and it was my son on the other side&#8230; I tried to keep the smooth calm in my voice but he picked up that something was wrong. I told him that I was lost but that I&#8217;d find my way, I asked him not to worry&#8230;and he was so sweet he wanted to stay on the line until I made it home safely. </p>
<p>It seemed that I walked for hours and made no progress; I also felt uncomfortable being out on the streets alone&#8230; I felt like a field mice and the hawks were just waiting for the right time to feast. I clearly could feel the fear of being lost in a town or place that I was not familiar&#8230; I did not like it one bit.</p>
<p>Then something odd happened, I shifted from the streets&#8230; to the safe zone of my bedroom, I could feel the warm sheets on my bare skin&#8230; and I made a mental note and took a deep breath.</p>
<p>I&#8217;M GOING IN! (It&#8217;s not going to end this way!)</p>
<p>Once back on the busy streets I spotted two officers with maps in their hands, I approached them and asked if they could show me how to get to the town of Bonao. With the map in hand I could see I veered totally off course in the opposite direction. I thanked them and prayed they stay safe&#8230;as I made my way back into the busy streets. The sun was way past the horizon and now instead of walking towards it I was walking away from it. The streets seemed to have a different breed of people and the eyes looking back at me appeared hungry, but this time I paid no mind. I knew where I was going.. and I inteded to get there.</p>
<p>I woke up from my dream and contemplated on the whole illusion. Dreams can help us make sense of current situations in our waking world.</p>
<p>The fear and anxiety were real. I began connecting it with my present day situation and connected the pieces to the puzzle. I am venturing into new territory with our nonprofit foundation: <a href="http://www.thhf.org/blog/">The Helpful Hands Foundation </a>   and this time I have no guiding post or mentor.  I understand clearly now to trust my inner sense of direction. My dream confirmed that I must continue to seek the right people and follow the course and not give up&#8230; we will arrive at the right destination.</p>
<p>Tell me about the sleeping dream that helped you make sense of things in your waking world?</p>
