Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

There is a legend that goes with my new home...that it was part of the Underground Railroad...a stop on the line that led slaves to freedom. Naturally we are very curious to find out more of the history and of the people who lived in this space. We like the idea that they were freedom loving people who chose to quietly and secretly do the right thing.
It is inspiring to be in their home.

Currently I am working with the Kennett Underground Railroad Center to research if the legend is true...I will keep you posted on what we find out. During our "keep" we are collecting bits and pieces, photos, maps, deeds, etc. so that the history can live on...the work of passionate dreamers who lived through some very interesting moments. This exercise really helps keep things in perspective...especially when times seem extra challenging....
"take heart passionate dreamer and look to the stars!"
What is the history of your home? Why not take time this month to remember as much as you can, and if you get a chance, write it down, gather photos, and papers that have details of changes and major events...you never know who may want to know more about it.
