I believe that if all of us are linked together to support, motivate and inspire each other, we can all make this world we live in a happier place. But some of us are afraid to even talk about our dreams, wishes and hopes; let alone to ask for support or help. We might think we are the only one who feel this way and nobody would be interested in us. Some of us might also feel people will look down on us if we ask for support or it is wrong to ask for help. I think some of us even feel our dreams might be stupid.

But I would like to challenge that idea and hope that you will join me in proving that your wishes and dreams really can come true! But we need to share our dreams, hopes and aspirations with other people. Talk about it, tell peopleabout it and most importantly, write it down, so that it can become a useful guide for you and others, as you chart the journey towards achieving that dream.

I believe that we actually love being to able to have a positive impact on another person's life and taking them to greater heights. I also believe the person that offers the help or support, benefits the most. Therefore, the privilege is ours in being able to lift someone's spirits to greater heights. So, let’s encourage each other to give a voice to our dreams, wishes and hopes.

I have named this project The Rainbow Movement, and the link of our friendship as the Rainbow Connection, to reflect the diversity of the people who are involved in this project. At this point, basically it’s you -- all my personal friends from all over theworld who come from different countries, faiths, culture, ethnicity and beliefs.

The project name also reflects the nature of the rainbow, which only appears when the sun and the rain are together. For me, this reflects the nature of life. We all have our ups and downs, bad times & good times. But the beautiful splendor of the rainbow reminds me of the miracles of life, the unimaginable potential of it all. And what happens next, after the rainbow appears? Usually, the sun comes out!

When I first "launched" this movement, it was to help a beautiful soul by the name of Ivana from Croatia. I described my rainbow wish for her to my friends (which is you), knowing her extremely challenging situation she was facing with her life at that time. I am very proud and honored to report that you, my friends, rose to the occasion and made a positive contribution to her well being.

My hope and wish is that we would become a link of people connected by love to represent the human rainbow in making this world we live in a happier place, in anyway we are able to contribute positively to the people who need it and to our environment. Imagine being able to create rainbows in people’s lives! We could literally be creating miracles by simply writing an encouraging note to someone. I know of a few stories where inspirational quotes/messages have actually changed some people’s lives to a very positive outcome. That’s why I think everybody should have a rainbow connection! Wouldn't you want one? What are your dreams, wishes and hopes? Tell me or a friend about it. You are most welcome to share your stories and thoughts here.

I love you and I thank you for being a part of my life.

L0ve always, Shareen.
