“I tell people that what you see is not a dream. That’s your reality waiting for you, but you’ve got to make it. It’s not just a fantasy, but that’s something concrete that you can actually make happen.” – Cheryl Porter
When I meet someone who is succeeding at the highest level using his or her creative passion and vision, I get excited to tell others about it. It’s not easy to bring our unique talents to the world in a very big way, but today’s Finding Brave guest has done just that. She is evidence that there is no age limit to reach your dreams, and if you only believe in yourself and take action, you’ll discover that you are indeed braver than you think.
