I have been following my writing dream full-steam-ahead for
the past year and recently decided I needed to expand my creativity – both for
my artistic being and my need to pursue something that I felt would benefit the
world, too. I started an Etsy shop and
began making items aimed at preserving dreams.
It’s an all-out battle sometimes against those who would
steal our dreams through negativity and life circumstances. Dreamers need all
the help they can get. My most closely
held dream for this project is to be able to begin offering Twins – a set of
two dolls, where the purchasers gets one and an under-privileged child gets the
other. I’m already contacting agencies about these dolls.
My needs are not that great. I need a new inkjet printer, a
better camera, materials for the dolls (some for experimenting on the next best
product), professional looking labels and packaging for the dream products I
make. So, I’m launching an IndieGoGo fundraising campaign today. If you do
nothing else, please watch my video – I’m exceedingly proud of it.
The perks I’m offering range from eBooks from my writing
career – Red Mojo Mama, Red is an Attitude, The Great Twitter Adventure, etc. –
to dream pillows, kindle covers and best of all – the dolls. If I’m not able to
reach my entire goal, whatever I do receive will go first towards making some
of the Twin Dolls and then towards a printer and labels.
Your contribution will help me personally, but more
importantly; this isn’t just a fly-by-night endeavor. I’m hoping to extend this
dream awareness and preservation beyond this simple project and on to other
avenues. I plan to devote a part of my life to helping others seeing their
dreams come true. I’m not sure what forms this will take at present because I’m
“sleeping” on it.
If you can’t contribute, I completely understand. If you’d
still like to help, please tweet or email those you think might like to make a
contribution. I thank you for taking the time to read this and watch the video.
Dream on!
Best of luck, Kathy!I'll help keep your dream alive.
