Dreams are not just for kids...


It was so easy to get taken away in fairy tales as a child; our parents would read to us and the words would turn into dreams spinning around in our heads!  We would spend countless hours playing pretend; using glitter as "Pixie Dust" as we flew to Never Never Land.  Turning sticks into mighty swords as we fought off ferocious Dragons!  We would lay our heads on our pillow and look out the window and recite...
  "Star light, Star bright, The first Star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight."
Our eyes would close and all our adventures that we had that day would carry on into our DREAMS!  


Something began to happen; something so subtle that only our parents could notice.  We started letting our toys collect more dust, spending more time on the phone talking with friends, and leaving a lot more stars un-wished upon.  We were growing up; the thought of being different became scary, we wanted to blend in.  Our childhood dreams were being replaced little by little.  Seems like overnight society wanted us to become like everyone else; forget the dreaming, just get through the day.  
"Growing old is unavoidable, but never growing up is possible.  I believe you can retain certain things from your childhood if you protect them-certain traits, certain places where you don't let the world go"  -Johnny Depp 
I don't know about you, but I am not going to lose my dreams!  My dreams may not be the same as when I was younger (to become a Mermaid) these dreams are more simple.  I would like to be financially independent, raise my kids to know how valuable their dreams are, and to never give up.  Nerium International is based around making peoples lives better.  We work hard because Nerium is making our dreams a reality!
