Jambo Fellow Adventurer!
Have you ever had a project go suddenly and disappointingly off course … only to end-up exceeding your wildest expectations? Rarely has this been so extreme – both heartbreaking and Whoohoo-inducing – as it was for Dreams Come True.

Over a 3 year period, nothing I said or did could persuade any publisher to take it on.

Over the next year, nothing I said or did could persuade the artist of my choice to take it on.

Finally, an agency made a timid recommendation, their third … and suddenly (over 4 years later!)  the project feel into a “Twilight Zone” of creative serendipities and divine collaboration with the heaven sent Virginia Allyn, proving once again that by holding onto a vision in spite of appearances, taking action, and never giving up … dreams do come true!

Today, however, on the other end of the creative process, I’d like to remind others what I had too easily forgotten. That while dreams most certainly do come true …
  •  only in hindsight are the miracles obvious,
  • only in hindsight can we see how guided we were,
  • and only in hindsight do we find that all along there was a plan

To your miracles, guides, and the plans that await from the author Mike Dooley
