Say hello to dare to dreamgirl Maria Carr.
There are so many things I could say, but probably best if I introduce you to her briefly, and then let Maria tell you her story in her own words.
Maria came to the U.S. as a young girl - she and her family were refugees from Castro's Cuba. She has been an actress all of her adult life, and long held the dream of having her own television show.
And now she does.
If you click either here or on the banner below, Maria shares with us her feelings just after At Home with Maria had debuted.
In her blog post Dreams and Cliff Jumping, Maria shares that after months of planning and years of preparation, she just wasn't sure she wanted to do this television show anymore.
Finally, you can watch and listen to Maria on air.
Have you had the experience similar to Maria's? After years of preparation, you were ready to make your dream happen, and then you weren't so sure you wanted it anymore? Or it didn't turn out as you had expected?
Will you head over to her blog and tell her Atta Girl?
In many ways being one of your dreamgirls is as exciting as doing the TV show, which by the way is getting funner every week!
It's still amazing to me how you came into my life at exactly the time I needed your special brand of support. Because you believed in me, I was able to overcome some fears of inadequacy I had long held. Thank you Whitney!

Yes, I have. I love the process of learning and creating. When I am done with that I am ready to hand it off to someone else. That is why we need other eyes...like yours Whitney...to let us see what can come next what we can become. Marie Carr is lucky to have had your encouragement.

This is such an interesting question! Taking into account the reality that most of us change over time, it seems reasonable that our dreams change. Perhaps it's not that we need to stick to our dream no matter what. It's that we need to dynamically dream - allowing the "form" of our dream to change as we grow internally and respond externally.

Whitney, I can't seem to find an email address. Yes I would like to have the code so when I click K*rtsy I come to my own posts. Thank you for that!
