HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)

Thanks for capturing these and sharing them with the rest of us. 5, 6 and 7 are my top favorites. #7 really resonates with me right now. It blows my mind that as a child my family encouraged me to dream, set high goals and be a little different. As I’m getting ready to embrace those dreams, drop the 9-5 life and travel, they want me to put on the brakes and “be realistic”. Sorry M&D - you raised me well!

First up, awesome post! I’ve got a small question bothering me, I really like the layout of your blog and tried to download the same design on my Worpdress site. Anyhow, there is some kind of weird php error in the footer. Do you have any hints, which settings are you using? Please PM me on Twitter @LovnLivin or via e-mail.

I have been betting at Apple and Goldman Sachs primarily. The recent Goldman swing helped me make a lot money with my puts but I kept Apple for the longer term, I think it has longer term potential. Many thanks for your educational posts and please wirte more.
