🌹🎶 November Dreaming

 

Dear Friend, 🌹🎶 November Dreaming 🎶🌹 "The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do." - Sara Ban Breathnach As the sun starts to set on 2024, rainbows of fireworks fizz through crisp November skies and trees don their technicolour displays to see out the passing year. Coats have always had magical associations - whether it's the capes of witches, wizards and superheroes or Joseph's Technicolour Dreamcoat. As the cloak of autumnal darkness wraps around us, we enter the hibernatory dreaming space. The explosion of year's end festivals and events invites us to dream collectively for a brighter future for humanity. So may our November dreams spark and embody joy, peace and love. 🌹🎶 What's fizzing in the singing skies this November 🎶 🌹 Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. - Gloria Steinem.
