Dreams

There are so many dreams we have, so many things we long to accomplish. Our hearts often run ahead of the moment, but I must dream it is what gives me hope. It is what wakes me in the morning and keeps me from sleep at night. I believe those who do not choose to dream are the ones who regret. I read once a poem, that sadly I have never been able to find again, which stated, "I want to live in such a way that when I come to die...I KNOW that I have truly lived". Of course that is paraphrased and if you should know the poet, please, please let me know, but that is how I want to live my life. I want it to be an unselfish life that, because I have lived, others too can really, truly live and maybe even, one day...DREAM.


Here are a few of our dreams (one of which is already a happy, successful reality):

The Refuge: We dream to take part in desert reclamation. To help provide tools, seeds, farming techniques, water wells and other resources for returning refugees and smaller communities so they can better reclaim their lives, homes and yes...dreams.We long to come along side refugees, who have been asked to return to their homes, but who have no homes to return to and help them re-establish themselves in small communities  and enable them to build a home, garden plot and community resources such as fisheries.

Beauty for Ashes: Here we would take the gift and skills of antenatal health care and midwifery to the women and newborns who, otherwise, would have no health care or resources in the Middle East and North Africa. Women in these areas are not going to be reached, unless other women rise up and go to them. The time in a woman's life where she experiences pregnancy, birth and postpartum are hinge moments. Her future, the future of her newborn and subsequent children, as well as her husband, in-laws and her community all hinge on a healthy woman during and after pregnancy. So often, the WOMAN IS THE MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE a developing world community will have, and we must reach her in these pivotal moments and offer her opportunities for positive outcomes.


Heart Song Studio: Heart Song Studio is a platform and voice for the art medium of humanitarianism. We make art for the sole purpose of raising money to support various projects in Russia, the Middle East and Africa. In time, we hope to encompass a COMMUNITY of artists who are willing to create and donate their art for the cause of their fellow man.


So we invite you to DREAM! Dream with us...dream on your own...just know there is so much more than you have probably ever imagined...and begin TODAY to DREAM!!
