Permission to Dream: Stepping Stones to Creating a Life of Passion and Purpose

Permission to Dream: Stepping Stones to Creating a Life of Passion and Purpose is a deck of fun and inspirational cards designed to help the reader “find their passion in everyday events.” There are 48 cards in all, each with an inspiring quote from women who “gave themselves permission to dream,” such as Helen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt, Oprah Winfrey, Erma Bombeck, and the creator of the cards herself, Lisa Hammond.

Each card contains an “inspirational quote to ponder” on one side and an affirmation on the other side to help the reader “put the thought into action.” For example, one card that quotes Erica Jong reads “The trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk more.” The flip side of the card says “Finding and following your passion can be scary. Instead of focusing on overcoming your fears, focus on facing your fear and doing it anyway.” Pretty neat, huh?

Creator Lisa Hammond is someone who went after her passion and created her own businesses, Femail Creations, a mail-order catalog and website and Barefoot Parties, a home party business. She is also the author of the bestseller Dream Big and has earned the nickname “The Barefoot CEO” due to her “unconventional approach to business.” She advises living life with moxie and stresses the importance of “giving yourself permission to dream.” One can literally feel her passion for what she does leaping off the pages of her introduction to this product.

Permission to Dream is a great source of inspiring words to keep on your coffee table. Pick up a card whenever you feel you need a morale boost! This lovely deck of cards also makes a great gift for someone special.
