the realization of bright dreams

 

i couldn't tell you

how long this ancient dream 

has slept through sundrenched seasons in the campo.

or how many hearts have carried it in their careful intentions,

 this bright hope of coxing possibility into the light of day.

an ageless dream;

reborn each moment a woman gives birth

and longs for a fortuitous future for her children.

i will assure you

the seeds of love are plentiful, that the true beauty of  

life's tapestry resides in

each bright strand of believing placed with

conviction one upon the other.

january 24

was a victorious day for the women of las rancheritas,

for all children, 

and all women of the world;

for one dream realized

pollinates the hope filled dreams of  all those still waiting.

 this once abandoned building 

filled with the realization of bold dreams, courage, team work,

and the happiness of achievement.

please enjoy charlotte bells' post of the

grand opening by visiting her here

the rug hook project

 

 

thank you somepinkflowers for sharing your gorgeous photographs

from our day together in the campo.

thank you to everyone who supported the women from afar with

the raffle.

and most of all,

thank you for believing we are all in this world together

nurturing brighter futures for all.

 

now tell me friends,

where has paradise taken you?

Rebecca,
Did you have a chance to go to Las Rancheritas when you were in SMA with Flora recently? Either way, let's plan a trip and go visit them. Their dreams coming true are an inspiration for us all!

I just loved seeing the butterflies on this sweet building come to life! To have been there this past October, and see it now, is just such a gift. Thank you sweet Rebecca! XO

I love the idea of realised dreams being pollinators for other dreams, maybe even the dreams of people you have never met. Fabulous story!

[charlotte]

The dream is a reality. Now the hard work begins of promotion and making a store/restaurant actually work.

[Stephanie]

The smiles tell it all...what a paradise indeed!

I tried to by one of their rugs but there weren't any available in their etsy shop. I emailed them but didn't get anywhere.
