      A dream is a series of thoughts, images, and sensations that occur in a person's mind while asleep. However, a dream is also one's deepest desire, ambition, or vision. It is a passion we hope and pray to become reality one day. A dream chaser is a planned crewed suborbital and orbital spaecraft. On the flip side of that it's the one who follows these desires, these ambitions, these visions they have. The one who takes the risk and makes the sacrifices to get the job done. That could mean making transitions such as quitting a 9 to 5 or separating self from family and friends. The responsibility Dream Chasers acquire once the decision is made is very heavy and will have an affect on their future rather they succeed or fail.       Dream Chasers are the ones who help dreamers keep the faith that dreams do come true.       He/She is on a journey to get to wherever they've decided to go by any means necessary. Dream Chasers make their own rules to follow in order to stay focused and in touch with thier dream. For instance, some believe that no attachments and no commitments keeps their feet grounded firmly. Another percentage would say without their circles it would not have been possible for them to stand as strong as they stand today. A Dream Chaser is a follower being trained to be a leader in a part of the world created for dreamers. They do what they want to do and what they have to...

At one point in time I kind of thought talent and skill were equal to one another, but as I've grown I now understand the difference between the two. Talent to many folks means the behaviors you find yourself doing often or repetitiously, a recurring pattern of thought or feeling that can be applied productively. I personally disagree with that because I believe those are skills used to perfect the talent you possess. They are a few of the tools used to make the cliche' "practice makes perfect" a fact and not just some saying. Another definition for talent is what you are and are good at, an innate ability as for artistic accomplishments. Now that, I do believe has talent written all over it. Talent to me means your capabilities and ability to perform what you have spent so much of your time polishing. It is the dream we believe will take us from one point to the next, reaching that level of success.       This is like faith without works. Talent comes and goes to many folks. It’s like the saying “If you don’t use it you’ll lose it”. Talent could be a number of things. Singing, carpentry, sports, acting, painting, dancing, the list goes on. However, they are all dead without skill, they’re nothing, useless. Imagine hiring a contractor to build you a home from the ground up. He gets the blueprint but reads it wrong and therefore builds it incorrect. He has the talent to be a contractor but lacks the skill...

      Using a fundraising site provided by the internet (Indiegogo.com) I set a goal of $2500 to assist me in the publishing and distribution of my second book. The allotted time to reach this goal was 90 days and as of today (5/20/2012) I have only recieved a contribution of $20. Of that 90 day span I now have 30 days left to have a successful campaign, not going to happen. My ignorance of how to plan a promising fundraiser has become an experience and well taught lesson for me. Although I used every social site I am affiliated with to market and request support from fellow associates and family I was unable to accumulate the necessary funds. Where did I go wrong you ask?       Well, I have no friends and in order to put any fundraiser in motion you need to have folks that love and care about not just you but what you're doing. Without friends and family your fundraiser will flop and you will be forced to add this to your list of failures rather you want to or not. Funding yourself raises nothing but questions that you will struggle to answer. A support team and/or system is very much necessary so consider this when planning a fundraiser for whatever reason or cause. This blog is for the novice planner preparing to make the same mistake as I did. Everyone needs a spine so I advise having a strong backbone to walk with you through your journey to success.    ...
