Of all the things we lost in the last 12 months, one that has taken the longest for me to name is a sense of possibility. Maybe 2020 was the year the dreamers stopped dreaming. So much felt impossible for so long (and some things still do) — but a question is rising up in me and I wonder if it would be helpful for you too: is it time to begin to dream again? Here are three things to consider. Listen in.

Thank you for this episode, Emily. I appreciate your acknowledgment that there are people who have always had limited access to the ability to dream. I am one of those individuals. I am wondering if you might have more to say to people like me, perhaps some “next right things” you might suggest for those who have difficulty dreaming. (As a side note, I’ve been seeing a spiritual director for about a year and a half and lately she is helping me ask questions and reflect on why hoping and dreaming can be challenging for me as well.)
Just say thank you ! Such a good episode and the 4 questions are just on point, It meet me in my “stuck in the moment ” were I am right now for such to long ! I’m starting the next right thing journal this month, hope that will help me ! Thank’s again !
