104: Dream a Little and Reach For It

What's your dream? What's the dream after that? And then?
Today is National Reach as High as You Can Day. It is a day to reach for your dreams, and what a great nonprofit I have for today: Dream Factory. "The Dream Factory is the largest all-volunteer driven children’s wish-granting organization that does not limit its mission to children who have life-threatening illness. The organization believes children with chronic illnesses and disorders also suffer from substantial emotional and physical pain. " (http://dreamfactoryinc.org
The Dream Factory and its volunteers operate in 32 chapters across the United States. If you can't find one in your area, maybe your dream will be to start a chapter. The most poplar drams they receive and fulfill include dreams of meeting celebrities, being something they  love likes policeman or princesses, shopping trips, seeing a favorite sports team, and traveling. 
The Dream Factory operates under five core values. These values are:Dedication – We will do everything in our power to create a positive, memorable experience for our dream recipients and their families.Responsibility – We are committed to being an ethical, fiscally and socially responsible all-volunteer organization.Empathy – We place the medical and personal needs of our dream children and their families above all else.Attention – We are attentive to the desires of our dream children, their families, our volunteers, sponsors and donors.Mission-Driven – We will fulfill our mission of granting dreams for critically and chronically ill children and are committed to working as a team and with mutual respect.

Today has been nationally dedicated to reaching for dreams, so I hope you take a moment to fill your head and heart with dreams and reach out to them. Sweet dreams.
