I believe that many things are possible, even in the face of seeming impossibility.

I have been called impractical and a dreamer. I have been called idealistic.

Those who love me become frustrated at times, because I don't do things the way they--or many others--do.

I am grateful that, despite their frustration, I continue to be loved.

And I will keep trying to do things the way a few highly select others suggest I might. I have seen them find success in their ways, and I admire them greatly for that.

I will also keep being impractical and idealistic.

I will keep dreaming.

I will keep believing that things are possible, in the face of seeming impossibility.

I can't seem to help myself. Truly. I have tried.

Is this always easy?

Is it always easy to remain tuned in to who I am, and what I have to offer the world?

No. Decidedly not.

It takes daily doses of mindfulness and inspiration. It takes concerted effort.

It requires that I keep putting on my big girl pants and showing up.

I've been told that I write entirely too often about "showing up," but honestly, that is the most important thing I do.

As is seeking inspiration.

Last night I listened to our most recent Dr. Lisa Radio Hour & Podcast ("Creativity," show #31) and found myself inspired again.

I was proud of what our team has accomplished in just over six months.

I was proud to offer a source of inspiration to the world.

Because I know that I am not the only impractical idealist out there.

I know that I am not the only dreamer. One need only listen to John Lennon to recognize that.

So as I seek the possible in impossibility, I need to keep showing up every day and open myself to inspiration.

And find hope in the certainty that I am not dreaming alone.
