"And the dreamer began to climb..."

"at last, the ladder which has been built slowly, slowly, one hope at a time, reached up to the clouds.....

And the dreamer began to climb..."
  quoted from a card, that's at least 4 years old. I wish I knew the source.  When I googled the phrase "and the dreamer began to climb" a link to a photograph of the same card I have came up. 
 
In my Party Room in Leesburg, FL, I put this card in a frame, and it was part of my inspiration. That Summer 2006 I re-created myself.  I went into that cave of indecision as Janet Marie Olsen.  Ole Olsen's ex wife. Lewis Mortner's ex girl friend, Angel & Alisha's mom. 

I came out of that furnace when I returned from my Rebel Rides A Steel Horse tour as JAN OLSEN - Awesome Woman Extraordinaire!!!

This card had a large part to do with my thoughts as they wandered and doodled on the blank pages of my life at that time. As I scribbled, rubbed, blended, cut, wadded up, licked the pencil tip,,,,, I saw this and several other .... well a new word lately comes from an author M.E.S. and it is "INSPIRATIONATORS"  cool word and very powerful!

Here I am today. I'm not lost again.  But it is kinda foggy. The mists are rising from the shoreline.  I'm still paddling to the LIGHT .... and fishing along the way.  I never did know when to say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" call it a day.... I always, ALWAYS want to see just what is it around the next bend or curve.

Firm belief that WONDER abounds in my near future.
 
In the card, the ladder is propped on the ground, but it only goes up to the cloud line. The rest is left to the reader to finish the Travel for themselves. To define how high is "up".

This photo is in my friend’s room and I really think it’s telling of such an inspirational mindset. To me — this means the following;
Have the passion and patience to dream and dream big. Have the patience to piece together “the ladder” in what it takes to get you there. Have the passion to follow through with doing what it takes to accomplish that dream.
