We've gone Live! YouTube account created!

The idea that originally resonated with Phoenix and I to get Dreem Reality started, was to create a YouTube channel of us doing our ridiculous adventures and travels. Our hopes were that we could get people to sponsor our adventures (Dreems), and essentially live vicariously through us. In order for us to receive donations we thought it would be great to have a non-profit set up so that people could feel comfortable donating the money...and hopefully lots of it.

That idea-seed then blossomed to encompass our other Dreems to help people realize their own Dreems. And thus the foundation of our educational-slash-charitable, self-actualization, goal achievement, and motivation driven non-profit was established.

So back to the original concepts to share our adventures through video...

As Phoenix and I have been living out our Dreems in mini-adventures, we've been taking lots of pictures and videos. I have been trying to keep up with those on my travel blog (HERE) and also we've been posting some of our videos on my personal YouTube account. But it hasn't been centralized...until now. Phoenix has been working all day on learning the ins-and-outs of Windows Movie Maker, which will allow us to create basic slide shows and movies, spliced with music and text. Now we are bringing it all together and will be creating movies showing our adventures in hopes of grabbing people's attention, eventually looking for sponsors of Dreem Reality.

Not only will we be posting movie compilations of our adventures, we also will be posting progress reports of the Organization's formation and eventually "news casts" from different activities and projects (such as speaking panels, lectures, workshops and so on). I get excited about the potential to one day create a documentary with all the footage, perhaps to share the start up of a successful non-profit. I'm hoping that all these beginning blogs will lend themselves to a thorough Biography or Documentary one day in the future!! Wouldn't that be awesome?

For now though, we only have the channel created. Nothing is on it as of the writing of this blog. I'm going to try and convince Phoenix to do a Video Blog with my in a little while, so that maybe we can just have SOME content out there. I don't want to get too crazy with it as we're not yet officially a non-profit and don't even have a website for someone to explore if they DO have interest in us.

But, again, for posterity's sake...now is the time and this is the link: http://www.youtube.com/DreemReality
