I have dreamt visions of creation all of my life. Dreams of greatness in the small and “insignificant” things, dreams of sharing, of caring, of building and leaving a mark.
They always start with some dream that touches the sky, one which makes reality look small and meaningless, some idea that seems endless, limitless, even impossible and far from reach. However, that never stops me; I constantly remind myself that dreaming is free.
And then, after so much dreaming, after endless nights of insomnia and rumination, finally one small but bright idea gets through, it touches reality and sticks to that godforsaken possibility of coming true.
This time, my feeling of gratefulness, the awareness of my unique heritage and history brought on the need for giving back in the only way that I know how; sharing generously. Taking care in the heart of home and family of everyone that comes my way. Using that magic of love, of detail and passion for all thing right, colorful, filled with joy and originality. This chance of opening my life to other worlds, new experiences, new spaces and best of all, new friends, makes me smile. How can I not be delighted?
But don’t mind the dreams, soon after I have declared the intension of making them happen, comes a stream of tasks, of ideas and of starting points that overwhelmed and paralyze. However, I DO. Something as small as picturing a space or getting inspired by a flavor, a color a person, a song and suddenly before I know it, the momentum of action pushes forward and day by day it leads to structure, filtering and opens the path to future accomplishments.
Somehow step-by-step things fall into place and the assembly of a plan and the definition of assignments, move the present into building blocks of a concept and a tangible reality. Soon and “surprised” I am outside looking in, and its done! Its real! Its finished! It’s CASA LEGADO! I am excited, restless; eager to share this new project that started as an incredible dream and that is now a tangible reality. Happiness and gratefulness, pride and fear lay a new stepping-stone; the prospect of what dreams may come.
