Here I am, after a walk on the beach.
Yesterday, a little girl told me she wanted to live in a house just like mine. I smiled back at her and told her: "Keep that in mind, for what you want, you will work for, what you dream will become energy you send to the world. You will forgo so many other things that people perceive as important, fancy shoes, jewelry, vacations, and will not miss any of those things because your dream cannot be bought at a supermarket."

you might have just changed her life right there...smiles...some powerful wisdom you shared...she may not get anywhere else...
fine post Rosaria ,have a good day
I hope that your wisdom on building our own dreams, step by step, will stay with that little girl and that she'll come to value planning ahead and working hard to make her dreams come true. What a valuable lesson and a wonderful post!
"Hey, I just like your house!"
Little Girl on the beach.
Seriously, good advice well stated.
Geez, I wanna see your house too Rosaria.
Seriously, you look good and strong and healthy. Right on!
I too believe that the things we tell children can make a difference in their lives. Actually, anyone's life I suppose.
Such great advice. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend.
I hope the advice takes!
Good advice. You've created your beachfront paradise with hard work. I won't have a house on the beach unless I win the lottery. My hard work bought me a house overlooking Hermiston Butte and the Umatilla River.
Lucky little girl who may well remember you all her life!
Have a Good Weekend,

That is great advice and I'm sure if that the little girl follows your advice then she will go far.

I love that you engaged with her, Rosaria. I know she will remember you and the confidence you paid forward.
I am currently inspired by The Odyssey and the powerful determination to put one foot in front of the other toward a goal!
Wise words, Rosaria!
Hope she got all that because it was very wise counsel...everyone should heed that!
You are marvelous! And I bet your words will ring in her memory and inform her future.
I wonder if she will knock on your door one day.
Hi Rosaria ... at least she's dreaming and dreaming happy - that's great ... I suspect she may have one happy long life ahead of her - and remember that woman on the beach with 'her house'!! ... Cheers Hilary
Ah but dreams can come true if you try hard enough - we are happy living in France we never thought it would happen.
Have a great week Diane
Oh, yes, Rosaria; you are so right about that.
I feel a little old for dreaming, but perhaps I should re-think that feeling. Maybe not long-term dreams, but possibly ones with a shorter term.
G'day Rosaria. What fabulous wisdom you imparted to that little girl. Well done. Take care. Liz...
Spot on!
Just yesterday I was telling a walking partner about all my great walks on the Oregon shores...looks like you are enjoying yours!! Nice post.
