by Emily Burnett (Author)
Dear Fellow Dreamer was written for all us dreamers out there: the ones stuck in corporate "safety;" the ones who know there's more to life but are waiting to make their moves; and those already in the arena, waiting for hoped-for results. Empty nesters, stay-at-home moms, entrepreneurs, and ladder-climbers alike have found this bright book encouraging, relatable, thought-provoking, funny, and challenging in the best ways.
"I'm reading Dear Fellow Dreamer and I was reminded of Big Magic! Your book is speaking to my soul right now...ruffling my feathers in a scary good way."
It was written in the years following the author's leap out of corporate "safety" to take a chance on herself. This exit and ensuing exploration (literal and figurative) was a deep dive into uncertainty, delays, interesting people, and the art of connecting to people and places...while living out of suitcases.
This book is for you if:
- You're restless in a comfortable, safe life
- Your dreams are tired of waiting for you to be "ready"
- Your dreams are already in-flight-and you're waiting to see hoped-for results
This isn't a hustle-hard, sleep-when-you're-dead approach to dreams. It's not written by an expert claiming to have mastered self-doubt and sitting atop her pile of money and accolades. Heck no.
A collection of vignettes, stories, and thought-provoking questions, Dreamer is intended to serve as a field guide for your own, highly-personalized journey of discovering and creating your dreams, and is organized into the following sections:
Wake-up Calls: Reminder that your life and your dreams matter. A lot.
Permission Slips: For the days when you find yourself discounting or doubting your right to have dreams or keep dreaming.
Frequently Asked Questions: We may not say them out loud, but these questions ccan get awfully noisy rattling around in our brains.
Trail Markers: Practical reminders and lessons I've learned from exploring, and advice I still use.
Field Notes: My own lessons and pinch-me moments from "the field" otherwise known as years of risking and trying and "failing" and doing my darnedest to really live.
There's nothing neat and tidy about being a principled dreamer who chooses growth over comfort and creativity over consumption. Who you become as you move toward your dreams, though? Priceless.
You've been doing this big-dreaming thing solo for long enough, don't you think? Me too. Get your copy of Dear Fellow Dreamer today.
