Dream Your Dream

Way back when, in a galaxy known as Etobicoke I used to play around with the coolest cousins in the world in the coolest basement in the world.  After we finished using sofa cushions as crazy carpets, sliding down the staircase right into the coffee table a zillion times, we’d play pretend Reagle Beagle in our actual bar set up. This was the way to spend your PA Days!  

I’m truly not sure if it was in the basement of 8 Hartsdale Drive that the idea of Dina’s Doughnuts was born, but I’d like to think it was.  You see, my cousin Dina is all sorts of amazing and I’d like to be a small part of her amazing dream that came true.

Dina loves to bake and she loves to eat what she bakes and she loves other people to eat what she bakes.  So what better dream for this baker than to open her own shop, called Dina’s Doughnuts, no less.  I mean, who doesn’t love doughnuts?  Who doesn’t love Dina?

Years passed, life gets in the way and, well, Dina’s Doughnuts got pushed to the back part of the wistful brain.  The part that always seems to jut out at you when you’re being annoyed by your boss or the alarm clock. It’s always there, though, this wistful dream of what if - hovering, wondering.  If you’re lucky, magic will strike and dreams like this can move themselves forward to the actual part of your brain - where things can happen, where things can be.  Tomorrow, on March 16th, 2012 it is happening.  It is being.  Dina’s dream has come true.  Dina’s Doughnuts has transformed itself into The Social Cupcake.

We’re so proud of you Dina.

Dream Often ... Dream Big ... Dream Doughnuts ...
