Dreams

"People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of." -Paulo Coelho


I am a huge fan of this quote. I believe I mentioned in my first post how I always thought that I would always be the way I was. Overweight, unhappy and stuck. That's not to say that I didn't have big dreams for myself.

I love to write. Ever since I was a little girl I had a big imagination and I would always come up with some crazy idea's for stories. Every story had a beautiful, strong and brave heroine. Needless to say that I always dreamed I was that girl. The one fighting off pirates, or wielding a bow and arrow like a female Robin Hood. Or just ending up with the hero, falling in love and living happily ever after.

But reality always hit me and it was never a pretty thing, until recently. I finally realized, that while I may never fight pirates, mostly because the pirates I fantasized about were more along the lines of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" pirates, or use a bow and arrow like Robin Hood, I could still be that pretty girl who always filled my dreams and ideas with adventure. And I could also end up with the hero, falling in love with him and riding off into the sunset. I finally realized my dreams could be a reality and that I had full control over how I made it happen.

That's what brings me here, to this blog and to my present journey. It may not be as fantastical as the crazy stories I've come up with over the years, but it's my story. I am the beautiful heroine who is fighting off the evil "dragons" and "demons" to get to that final goal, and I think we all know what that goal is.

I love you guys so much, and I appreciate everything I read. I find so much strength and courage from your kind words. Thank you all so much.
