Apparently that is what today is… and although I had hoped it meant that I could just go back to bed and sleep, it doesn’t 😛
I was reading about the history of this day, and I’ll share the excerpt with you… the bold part of it being the part that stood out for me the most, and made me smile :
Dream Day was set up by an instructor at Columbia University in 2012 as a way of helping us all achieve our dreams and to make the world a better place. The creator of the day is Ozioma Egwuonwu; a transformational strategist and educator. It was her aim to create a day that would help to heal and inspire humanity.
These days, any mention of this pandemic that our world is facing, seems to bring negative words to mind. In all honesty, the amount of disrespect and hate that I have encountered in my entire lifetime, has been superseded by the amount I have seen and experienced in the past 18 months. And it all links back to the virus. It makes me hurt, in so many ways!
And so as I read those words, ”help to heal and inspire humanity”, my heart soared as I smiled and almost shouted out loud, ”Oh man! YES! We need days like this, and not just for dreaming!”

Another quick share from the article :
Dream Day is a vital day in terms of honoring the role that dreams play in all of our lives. Even more importantly, it is a day whereby we all inspire one and other, helping our loved ones, peers, and even strangers to put a plan in action to make positive changes in their lives and the wider world.
And then, my Facebook post for today….
I am sure you know what I am going to say now 😛
It’s the weekend, and we have a whole new week ahead of us : please can we all not only be kind, but let’s look for ways to inspire and encourage one another – maybe even find ways to do so that will be practical in helping them get one step closer to their dream!
Let’s make it Dream Day, every day! (I wonder if we could get away with pyjama shopping…. hmmm. 😛 )
Please be safe, everyone. Thank you for stopping by ❤

Hi Meg,
A really interesting and insightful post about another day in which you can take us on a journey full of love and inspiration.
I agree with you about the negative impact that our current world situation is in terms of the Pandemic, it seems like everyone is saying that we are all in it together, however nowadays it feels like it’s every man, woman and child for his or her self.
I have been fortunate inasmuch as I have fulfilled a lot of my dreams and ambitions, however I recognise that our lives can alter in a heartbeat.
I hope that you and your family are staying safe and well and that your hopes, dreams and aspirations are fulfilled.🤗❤
