Dreaming Out Loud…

August 6th, 2007

I changed by blog header recently to read “Dreaming Out Loud”. It’s one of my favorite phrases. I think I first heard it as a quote from U2’s lead singer, Bono. Yes - I admit that I was quite the U2 fan in my college days (which is probably the understatement of the century). *LOL*

Here’s a pic from a concert back in 1997 when I was pulled up onto stage by Bono.


He sang the song “With or Without You” to me …. from my lap.

I have to admit that it was kind of a surreal experience in front of 30,000 people! Although I haven’t listened to them much in recent years, I do love the positive energy that seems to flow through their music & I’ve always admired the work they have done to help those in need.

To me, “Dreaming Out Loud” means to be courageous, to be creative, to have integrity, & to live beyond what we know we are capable of. I know that I frequently forget to live this philosophy - but it is still something I aspire to.

    Yes, that is definitely an understatement!! I think you sell yourself short. You are a great example of Dreaming Out Loud and have always been an inspiration to me in all that you get accomplished in one day……amazing!!! Keep it up!

    Is there anything that you aspired to that you did not accomplish? I can’t think of any. I am so very proud of you.
