DreamSinger - loving my grandson

About Me

Entire CD, "For the Sake of Love", is available at CD Baby

Welcome to Keeping the Dream, celebrating the human spirit. I'm Demian Yumei, singer/songwriter, author and activist and the woman in the banner holding my grandson.

And we have a dream, he and I. We dream of a world where every child is safe and every heart feels loved. Let's dare to believe this is possible. Let's keep this dream close to our hearts and breathe life into it through our lives.

You have a dream that remembers you. Maybe it's been a long time since you've walked with it, but it's there ready to take you on wing and soar to unimagined heights.

And your dreams, your beautiful heart and desire for goodness and truth and beauty is stronger than anything that may have happened to you in the past...or happening now

I know. I'm the daughter of a pedophile, and yes, I've been impacted, but not defined by it. There's a difference. Sometimes it's hard to see, but it's there and it's important.

And I've learned that no matter what has transpired or is transpiring, there is tremendous power in the present moment of a choice.

What about embracing yours, taking it back from your own doubts and fears or other people's dismissal?

It's not too late you know. I released my first CD, published my first book and welcomed my first grandchild shortly before I turned 50.

And my adventure is just beginning!

DON'T wait for the perfect time! There's no such thing. There's only now and now is always a good time to take your first step.
