Have you heard about Mondo Beyondo? It’s all about dreaming big, really big, letting yourself say the big, wild, crazy dreams that are in your soul, the ones the gremlins shout the loudest at, the ones that scare the beejesus out of you because they are what you really want to pursue.
I made a mondo beyondo list a while ago (pictured above), but I didn’t do anything with it. Because, well, it’s scary to announce your biggest, wildest dreams. But it’s not very Mondo or Beyondo if you don’t share them. If you don’t really release them out into the world. So, I finally feel ready to shout to the world, Hey world, these are my dreams. This is what I want in my life. I am going to make it happen, I’m ready! It seems like the right time to release these out into the universe. Especially since I have chosen Joy as my word of the year, and told the Universe in no uncertain terms on Dec. 31 that I intended to focus on creativity, fun and photography this year.
Here is my Mondo Beyondo list.
It reads:
I, Kelly Ann Shaw, do solemnly vow to make this come true.
Dear Universe,
I welcome your assistance and signs.
A photo show of my work in a gallery.
A successful photography business, both my portraits and my art photos
Time to really travel in Italy, Greece, Ireland, Spain
Publish a photo book of people I meet with their stories(this one surprised me a bit)
Have an awesome, life long love adventure with Brian
Publish several of my book stories
Not needing to work an office desk job because my photography and writing pays the bills
Support Brian emotionally as he grows his dreams
Run and finish a marathon
Get and stay in awesome shape

The little details around the collage include:
Dream, hope, believe, Dream Big, reach for the stars, bloom, way to go, There are many wonderful things that will never be done if you do not do them.
Come on Universe, let’s get busy!
