The Forever BOOK OF DREAMS

By: Sylvia Davila MM

I belong to that generation of women who broke up with the full-time motherhood scheme. We had to be professionals. So I was for 25 years: journalism, television, newspapers, magazines, public and private enterprises and an international organization. Then I bumped into a turning point: I decided to become a Professional Mother. So, I became a cook, a driver, a homework aid, an events manager, an adviser, a house-keeper and a nurse. Ten years until my children left our home. Duty done and home alone, myself emerged. Words and Photos became my pen. My daughter, Laura Wills, opened for me her wonderful archive of photos. Gently, along with the years, an entire world was born before my eyes. I named it The Forever BOOK OF DREAMS and It became a refuge, the best place to be during the trying day. It has five sections: Dreams, Nature-ally, Words, Thoughts and Poetry Home-Delivery. My Forever Book of Dreams has a heart in many ways. It belongs to a part of life when I realized that it is, precisely, when every reality is lost that we must hold tight to our dreams.
