I think we dream so we don't have to be apart for so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time.
A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.
John Lennon
Hope is a waking dream.
Aristotle

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? This question is meant to inspire, but it can also overwhelm. Perhaps you are at a point in your life where you can't imagine taking the risk to achieve your dreams. Or perhaps you feel like that opportunity has passed you by. But as author Nancy Thayer said, "It's never too late -- in fiction or in life -- to revise."
So what would you do if success were certain? What's the risk of doing it? Even more important, what's the risk of not doing it? Wondering if you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? This infographic from Entrepreneur captures the seven common traits.
On a personal note, we are excited to announce that our own Kate Huebsch has been named the 2014 Entrepreneur of the Year by the College of St. Benedict. The award is bestowed by the Donald McNeely Center for Entrepreneurship of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University.

Connect Everything
 If you aren't familiar with the term "The Internet of Things" yet, chances are you will be hearing a lot about it in the near future. The Internet of Things already includes TVs, cars and wearable devices, and before you know it, everything else will be online, too. So what? What once was merely a dream now can be reality: start your car, warm your home and cook your dinner all remotely before leaving the office. The applications are nearly limitless, and so are the number of and types of devices that may become part of the Internet of Things. According to a study by Business Insider, there are currently an estimated 2 billion active devices connected to the Internet of Things with a predicted 9 billion devices to be connected by 2018. |

Word Nerds Unite!
 It's a dreamy time to be a word nerd! There are blogs, websites, podcasts and more all devoted to various aspects of language. We have Grammar Girl (our hero, shown here) and even "Weird Al" has his "Word Crime" hit about proper grammar (see our recent Facebook post for more). Language is always evolving in new and interesting ways, and we're glad to be in an industry that focuses on and celebrates it.
