  1. Wow I got tired just reading this list! I love how you dream big. I'm working on remembering how to dream, assuming I knew how to do it at some point. 😊 And I have an awesome chiropractor that has worked on me, Kevin, mom, Samantha, Vince, Austin, and Ella. We all love him! I can give you his number if you want it, just let me know. 😊

  2. I have always been a dreamer. Sometimes life has tried to beat it out of me but I am not one to give up easily. Dream large, dream little...just dream.
