I’ve met, I know and I’m learning about some incredible folks. Inspired by all of them, I’ve decided to create a “Living On Dreams” category to share who they are, what they’re doing and how they’re able to turn their dreams into a reality.
Name: Patrice J. Williams
Home: Harlem USA via New Jersey
The dream I’m working on: Most of my creative energy is directed towards my blog, Living Fly on a Dime. It’s time consuming producing daily content and attending events but I see the bigger picture. I’ve never tied money to happiness and I love spreading that message to my readers. My ultimate goal involves a television show where I travel to different states (and countries?) to help readers solve their budget related dilemmas (dinner party for 20 on $20, revamping a wardrobe with thrift store finds, etc). I basically want to get paid to eat, travel and shop! Every day I try to do something that gets me closer to that goal.
Inspired by: I’m constantly inspired by those in my family who haven’t lived their dreams. I know what that looks like and I don’t want it for myself.
Recommended resource for other dream believers: Malcolm Gladwell’s The Outliers. I love inspirational, “think outside the box” blogs also, like The Fab Life Project and Happy Black Woman.

When I grow up, I want to be: A better version of who I am now. More understanding, loving and discerning.
