INFORMATIVE, INSPIRATIONAL, HUMOROUS - THE START OF MY NEW BLOG

Hello and welcome to The Soul Can Dream, a blog for the heart, mind, body, and soul.

My goal with this blog is to condense several of my artistic passions into one medium.

What will you find here?

My relaxation-inspired YouTube videos, artisan jewelry designs, poetry, a photo-of-the-day, an inspirational phrase-of-the-day, interesting fun facts, reviews, short stories, and more.

This blog is dedicated to anyone who would like to play the part of an escapist and clear their mind of the harsh realities of the world.  As true as it is that a person can't completely escape reality, and by all accounts shouldn't simply drift off and forget their real-world responsibilities, it doesn't hurt to allow your mind to find some peace, if even for a moment.

I will be posting material here that focuses on the beauty in the world, not the negativity surrounding today's society.  This blog doesn't have a religious theme in mind.  It exists solely to bring peace and enjoyment to any individual who likes what I have chosen to post.  Most of the pictures and videos are of natural scenes, animals at play, funny moments in life, or personal triumphs.

I do accept submissions for fun facts, quote-of-the-day, and picture-of-the-day.  However, I have to have permission from you, in writing (via e-mail is fine), stating that I am allowed to post your content for my blog.  Your submissions will never be used in any other medium, nor will I take credit for your work.  If you have a question about what can be submitted, feel free to ask by e-mail or in any blog post's comment box.

Thank you for visiting.  I wish you peaceful thoughts.
