Making dreams come true is like planting a tiny seed. That seed is so tiny and vulnerable, and could be so easily lost in the millions of seeds that surround it. Without proper care the seed may be misplaced, set aside, or lost forever. Without someone to plant it carefully in good soil, to water it and make sure the sun touches it, it may never grow. Without someone to protect it from birds, shelter it from harsh winds, or ensure it has space to grow, it may never survive. And even if it begins to sprout and come to life, if someone doesn’t remove the weeds that try to engulf it, it still may not survive.
Life for a little seed isn’t easy. Some seeds never grow beyond the soil they are planted in.

Dreams are just like this. You may have an idea, a spark of passion that makes you feel like you are about to truly come to life, but if you do not nurture it, it will never see the sun. Your thoughts, and ambitions are just a simple blueprint. A sketch in your mind. A tiny seed of thought. For your dreams to have any chance of surviving you must nurture them, you must treat them with care, give them attention, and invest time and energy into their growth. If you want to live truly, and beautifully, then you must believe in yourself. If you want to live Fearlessly Authentic, then you need to nurture yourself, and you need to bring life to what really inspires you.
Life for your dreams isn’t easy, but with your sunshine you have the ability to make anything grow.
Trust me, you’ve got this!

I also wanted to share this absolutely gorgeous photograph with you, shared by @thelondonmum. Not just because this photo is so beautiful, but her words that accompanied it were so true and honest.
I still remember bringing April home from the hospital and laying her next to Aspen, Hubby and I couldn’t believe how overnight Aspen seemed so much bigger! It was something we hadn’t expected.
Don’t hold back, nurture those seeds of thought, and turn that blueprint into a dream that comes true!
Thanks for joining me, love Mackenzie xx

Beautiful post, and so true! My problem is having time for my ‘seeds’, as well as everything else(work, kids, house, garden…..), any tips?????
I know exactly what you mean, my tip is to realise what really matters in life and make time for it. We often say we are time poor, and we are, but when something really matters we have to make time for it a priority. If we try to juggle too many things we become overwhelmed. Obviously kids take priority, but we also have to remember ‘our’ dreams truly matter! If you have a seed that you really want to plant, then you have to carve out time for it. Even if it is a matter of finding just ten minutes a day most days of the week, you can start to nurture that seed and help it grow. It isn’t a race, every moment of time we dedicate to our seed makes a huge difference in the end.
Love this! Nurtured a seed to move to France and 3 weeks ago did just that. Feel so at peace now I have followed that dream
