Welcome to The Dream Shepherd. This site is dedicated to helping people find and follow their dreams and aspirations. We offer encouragement and, hopefully, useful information and/or links to help you on your journey to fulfilling your dreams.
Please excuse the scarcity of posts and information. I just launched this endeavor last night (10/9/2009) so things are a bit “new” around here. But, rest assured, the shine will be off the handles in a few weeks and it will feel homey and comfy in no time.
A quick word about me: my name is Les Gebhardt. At 44, I’ve been around long enough to have had many dreams and to see most of them fade out of existence. My college background includes a BA in History and quite a few classes in Computer Science. I work as a programmer for a company specializing in software solutions that provide information and finance support in the healthcare industry, particularly with hospitals and providers. I have no real training in psychology or marketing or any other field related “self help”. What I have is a passion for helping others and a desire to change the world.
What I hope to accomplish here is simply to help folks turn their dreams into reality. I truly believe we are all “here” to do something grand. The trick is to find it and make it happen. I have recently used Twitter to find people with inspirational stories, blogs, and such and found them to be quite rewarding to read and follow on a daily basis. My hope is to join them and even share their wealth of knowledge with my readers.
So, I invite you, dear reader, to sit back and relax and both take in what I have to say and share your thoughts as well. I welcome you to comment and suggest people, places, or sources of information you think might benefit others or even myself. This is, in fact, MY dream – to be a beacon of encouragement to people that might feel like they’re drowning in a sea of negativity or doubt (whether external or internal). So, by following along or even utilizing what I hope to offer, you will be helping me fulfill my dream. A win-win for all of us!
