Of our finest fantasies, Rev. Jesse Jackson said, “Dream big dreams! Others may deprive you of your material wealth and cheat you in a thousand ways, but no man can deprive you of the control and use of your imagination. Men may deal with you unfairly, as men often do; they may deprive you of your liberty; but they cannot take from you the privilege of using your imagination. In your imagination you always win!”
Anthony Herrera said, “The best helper is a dream of what your life will be.”
Rand Bennett added, “Make time for the things you love, the things you are passionate about, the things that you dream of.”

Also, June 27: National Sunglasses Day While this event exists to remind about protecting our eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, National Sunglasses Day is also a chance to look really cool while staying safe.
July 1st: International Joke Day Jokes are written or spoken words that make people smile or laugh. To be armed and dangerous with jokes, here are over 100, which include: What do you call a pig that does karate? A pork chop.
July 2nd: World UFO Day exists to explore the possibilities that extra-terrestrial life may be visiting earth. While the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens Series provides lots of a persuasive info, a Pentagon Task Force has just issued a report on what it calls UAPs, Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon So, July 2nd looks like a great time to watch and discuss the original, 1950s movie The Day The Earth Stood Still or Independence Day, Close Encounters of The Third Kind or War of The Worlds.
Eleanor’s Insights Collection
Succeed and Soar’s “Eleanor’s Insights” series is illustrated with my photographs of ‘wild places,’ with no signs of people, except this debut image. Can you see me?
This week’s photograph was taken while exploring Utah’s amazing Canyonlands. As I looked for images to accompany Eleanor Roosevelt’s words, this picture with desert and barren mountains meeting vast sky was ideal, even though –oops! — the sun slipped the shadow of my hands holding the camera into the lower right.
Art is available as prints, framed and on canvas as well as on journals, greeting cards, weekender bags, shower curtains, puzzles and much more.
