Do You Have A Dream?

There are a few websites now catering to people accomplishing theirdreams,  like KIVA and Dreambank.  I love the concepts of both ofthese.  Its such a positive and beautiful way to use the internationalconnection that the internet has created.  Some countries have atremendous amount of resources. Some people have money they would liketo give but dont' know where to look. some people want to work veryhard to create something powerful and meaningful in their lives butlack the resources.  These sites can bring these people together in abeautiful way.  Reminds me of the movie "Pay it Forward" and that thereare people taking concepts like that and flying with it!

KIVA (www.kiva.org) allows small ventures and entrepreneurs indeveloping countries to get funding to lift themselves out of poverty. You can go to the country of your choice, read through the differentbusiness ventures proposed and then select which one you would like tocontribute to. 

Dreambank (www.dreambank.org) is similar to KIVA in that its a placefor dreams to be fulfilled.  Except,  anyone can post their dream andhow they would like to be supported.  Individuals wishing to contributecan search through people's dreams and decide in what way they wouldlike to offer their resources and practice generosity.

I'm excited about these opportunities, particularly given theholidays,  the economic times and the chance to return to an attitudeof dreaming, appreciation and generosity.  I definitely plan to givethis season, as well as dream and appreciate.

In the spirit of my own dreaming,  I did post my own dream on DreamBank (http://dreambank.org/37965/dreams/to_become-37613.html).Feel free to check it out of you like, and even make a contribution ifyou feel so inspired! 

Much love and joy as we move into the holiday season, which is a timethat can be filled both with joy and warmth, as well as our biggestrelating challenges and emotional times.
