I took this photo about 10 years ago, at Disneyland - one of my favorite places on earth. That's probably the last time I was there. I can't wait to take another trip (hopefully with my son) soon. When I was growing up, Disneyland was such an inspiration to the creative dreamer in me. My … Continue reading Dreamers & Risk Takers
Dreams
Author * Dream Chaser
That's me. I'm an author. I'm a dream chaser. There are some nay-sayers out there that wonder about all this "dream" talk. I get it. I really do. But let's look at this another way. What if your dream was better defined as that thing that makes you, you? What if your dreams are perfect … Continue reading Author * Dream Chaser
When Do You Stop Chasing Dreams?
When do you stop chasing dreams? That is the question for me right now. This blog - like many decisions I've made in the past two years, is about chasing dreams down. It's about all of those things that make up my greatest life's dreams - that I'm still in pursuit of. Like this. Or … Continue reading When Do You Stop Chasing Dreams?
Waves
There are some days and nights when I'm not sure if I'll ever get over you. This seems a little dramatic, no? You can't make this $%^&, up, right? The months that have passed leave me with more questions than answers and resolutions. This can't be the end. If it is, this is the biggest … Continue reading Waves
Things I Would Like To Do . . .
Where are you, Baby? Still somewhere choosing your words carefully, I presume? There's a hole here in this big house. It feels even bigger than normal. There are things I'd like to do with you. I'd like to cook an extravagant dinner with you, music playing, and candles burning. I'd like to argue debate pointless & … Continue reading Things I Would Like To Do . . .
Run & Never Tire
Dear Future Husband, There's a prayer I'm praying right now. It's really the same thing over and over. I am praying for you. I'm praying we can somehow get past this wall that appears to be in front of us now. I pray nothing will stand in our way. I pray you'll find me, see … Continue reading Run & Never Tire
A Love Story
When I was a little girl, I used to dream up love stories. It's a curse, I tell you. It has followed me past 40 and right on into my 42nd year. Except now I write the love stories instead of just dreaming of them. When you write love stories, you should probably find a way to … Continue reading A Love Story
Say it. Write it. Do it.
Life is short. There is no better time to say what needs to be said. There is no better time to chase after those dreams. I've stayed quiet when I wanted to speak. I've not written words that needed to be written. And I've put off what is most on my heart. Why? Fear … Continue reading Say it. Write it. Do it.
Monday Motivation
I love this reminder that you can start where you are. So often we feel like we have to have it all together before we accomplish that goal or fulfill that dream. But we will get nowhere if we don’t start. Now. Not later when we have it all together or have all the answers. … Continue reading Monday Motivation
Comparison
If you're anything like me, particularly when you're in the midst of waiting, the temptation to compare your own journey to that of others is strong. I have been there {and recently}. I compare myself to other writers, to women with a house full of kids, with that girl that got that one guy {haha}, … Continue reading Comparison
