A Dreamer's Fortitude (w/ Excerpts from Maya Angelou & Josephine Baker)

NOTE: This episode of UTSB was filmed three months ago and serves as a chance to reconcile with times in life where things do not go as you imagine, but as it should. At the time, I was reading "Gather Together in My Name" by Maya Angelou, and felt so connected to her relationship to her dreams, and how the happenings in her life had brought her discouragement. I was in awe of the way she described this chunk of her life, and let it be the driving force of this episode. Following, I read an old interview of Josephine Baker recalling her time touring and was inspired by the way she described an intrusive rainstorm as a bath!

Anyone with the gift of dreaming and vision understands how it feels when things transpire in ways out of your control, and this week is all about how Maya Angelou's story inspired me to keep on through discouragement. This process is still in motion today, and the episode speaks for my today in many ways. 

If you have something that you see for yourself, some positive things that feel on the brink, yet so far away, and your reality doesn't reflect it yet, please take a moment to listen to this. It could be a positive experience for you.
