Hey, what's up, Book Thinkers family? This is Ryan and I am super excited to review Write Yourself Into Your Dreams by Terri Wade. This book has been an 8-month journey for me. So I started this back in February timeframe and it's taken me on a journey. So Terri actually went down to the Amazon. She had a calling from source. That calling led her to the Amazon where she became very integrated with nature and integrated with a lot of the culture around the Amazon and took with it some great lessons in a framework that we can apply to our lives. So this took me on a journey of about 30 years of becoming aware of everything I've experienced up until now and then helped me to is going to help me to realize my dreams. And first, that's becoming aware of them, journaling them, and now realizing them. One of the quotes I really loved in this book is, the world is filled with waiters who want to be actors, actors who want to be producers, producers who want to be stay-at-home moms, and people from all walks of life who want nothing more than to be with the loves of their lives. Within each of these people who aren't living their dream, there's a story that's holding them back. So like I said, it's been an 8-month process for me, reading a chapter, scribing on a chapter, you know, journaling, reflecting on it, then typing it into a computer, then sharing it with someone, and then getting feedback. And we've gone through a lot of the patterns that have developed over the course of my first 30 years of life. Forgiveness to myself, forgiveness to the people who I love the most and I spend the most time with. And then ultimately writing my eulogy, how my life will play out so that I can step into that place, be aware of a lot of the challenges that I'm facing. But step into a place where I can then go out and realize these dreams. And it's becoming aware of those dreams, writing out those dreams, sharing those dreams, and just continuing to be focused on those. And it'll ultimately— it's going to play itself out. But I had a tremendous experience looking back on my journey, reflecting on it, writing on it, forgiving those in my life. and now writing the next chapter of my life. And I'm grateful to Terri for having shared such a great framework and for being there for me along this journey. So Write Yourself Into Your Dreams by Terri Wade, check it out. Thanks, Nick.
