You are so right. There is no time like the present to begin living the life of you want. Think outside the box. I never imagined how I could get paid to travel and now that’s happening. Life is full of surprises if we open ourselves up to them.
You really made a great decision, Chloe!
I love your post, Carol. We aren’t guaranteed a tomorrow, the time to enjoy life and the people that you love is today. You always inspire me or make me laugh or even do both at the same time. Thanks!
Aww, Jennifer, thanks! I love having you here every day!
I like your suggestions of modifying to afford and changing priorities to find time! Thanks for these simple yet important reminders that we need to make our dreams happen rather than wait and see. Great advice, Carol!
This life is so short, and there are always ways…waiting is always risky….
It was a rainy day in San Antonio today. I went to my regular writer’s critique meeting. Everyone looked distraught. It wasn’t the usual atmosphere. Then I found out that one of our long-standing members had passed away. The group found out about a minute before I arrived. So I imagined the rain as tears.
Rest In Peace Jan
Blessings to you…rainy day prayers.
If we can dream it, it can happen. Your sentence, “Empower yourself to make that dream come true” hit home with me today. I do have a dream and I keep making excuses and it is fear that is holding me back. Thanks for the inspiration
Keep us posted on your progress, Kathy!
Yes. So well said, all of it.
Reaching out for our dreams is the only way we’ll get them. Let’s DO it!
I so agree with this! So often, if the planets aren’t perfectly aligned, we put off doing things. Don’t wait. Do them now!
I can think of nothing worse than looking back at life and regretting all the things we didn’t do. Dreams that we simply let go because they seemed to far out of reach. Your words are very wise.
