In the same spirit of going overboard, I dream big. I have this awesome imagination and ability to envision all my dreams as reality. This skill helps me immensely in my writing and in my life. There have been so many times when I've been down in the darkness but my vision for the future has brought the light to me and kept me strong and sane. The path I'm on now is one I can't turn from and don't want to stray from but that doesn't mean I'm not just a little afraid. As many times as I've done something brave, bold and slightly crazy, I've never undertaken a mission quite as large as the one I'm on now. Self-doubt has held me back from so many things but this time I'm embracing the fire within me and using it to "save the universe" as I keep telling my friends. I do almost all of my daydreaming and future-envisioning to music and usually while I'm driving in my car blasting my latest mix CD or out walking with my earbuds in. I've come up with tons of story ideas while dream driving and walking and it always makes me eager to get back to my computer and write them all out. While I continue to work on my books and create the stories for them, I'm also working on my own story. The life I currently have is one I built off the resources someone else owed me, but the life I want for my near future and beyond I will build completely on my own. I had to settle for "this will have to do" out of necessity and a desire for my freedom but I refuse to settle any longer. There are so many aspects of this world that I love and so many people that I love and I am determined to bring it all together. I've loved the ocean for as long as I can remember, so I shall set sail and live closer to it. Visiting big cities has made me yearn for the excitement there, so I will make them more accessible to me. I've always wanted to take dance lessons in a big group, so I will put myself where the people are. The new people I've met in the past year have sparked my curiosity and desire to try new physical activities, so I will journey to where those opportunities exist. I will free myself up to spend more time with my long distance friends. I will make a future for my girls without limits, I will help everyone I love pursue their passion and experience a life of freedom. As you can see, I have a lot to do! The list grows longer every day but I know I can accomplish it all. I was blessed with my artistic gifts for the greater good and it's past time I achieve my potential. Through it all though I shall remain humble and grateful for all that I have. I will never forget where I've come from and all I've fought through to get where I am now. Where I am now is just a stepping stone on the bigger path and it's time to conquer the mountain!
