“so many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable”
by christopher reeve
dearest muse,
as we close out this year and step into a new one, let’s embrace one final, powerful affirmation
this is your reminder that no dream is too bold, no goal is too lofty, and no vision for your future is out of reach
you are worthy of every dream that stirs your soul and ignites your spirit
set ambitious goals, push beyond the boundaries you've set for yourself, and make plans to meet them
dreaming big isn’t about being unrealistic; it’s about giving yourself permission to imagine a life full of possibility, joy, and fulfillment
keep dreaming, keep believing, in the most audacious of dreams
they just might come true

our book selection this final week is a great one
in 1919, jessie redmon fauset leaves her life as a high school teacher in washington, d.c., to move to harlem and pursue her lifelong literary dreams
she takes on the role of literary editor at the crisis, the official magazine of the naacp, becoming the first black woman to hold such a high-ranking position at a preeminent national publication
the story follows jessie's journey to claim her own authority and recognition as she discovers that the "high cost" of success often involves making difficult choices about her personal happiness and the legacy she leaves behind

next, our final film of the year is
starring
hamnet is an intimate portrait of a family shaped by love, creativity, and grief
set in a small english town, it follows two partners whose shared belief in imagination and connection sustains them through everyday life
as sorrow reshapes their world, the story explores how dreaming beyond the present moment can transform pain into something enduring
rather than ambition or fame, hamnet shows how dreaming big can mean trusting that love and art outlast even the deepest grief
your ritual this week
dreaming big is an act of devotion to your future self
this ritual invites you to expand without urgency, and to honor your desires without apology
take one aligned step big dreams are built through small, brave actions; do one thing today that supports your dream: research, send an email, save inspiration as a scrapbook (digital or physical), or practice a skill
enjoy!
dreaming big is not about rushing toward an outcome
but honoring the quiet bravery it takes to imagine more
each moment you allow your desires to breathe, each step you take toward possibility, you are already living your affirmation
you do not need permission to envision a life that feels expansive, beautiful, and true
you deserve to dream big
have a beautiful holiday season and new year
you'll be hearing more from me soon
promise
