This song makes me think of my Ashleigh. She is almost 5 and has the most AMAZING memory when it comes to songs. She loves this song and will beg me to play it everyday!! She sings and dances to this song while Melanie, my almost 2 year old, dances. Ugh, they are THE most amazing part of my life!!!! ♥ them!
What a day so far. There are just some people in life, that no matter how hard you try with them, they will always rub you the wrong way. And, then there are the people in life, that can make you smile more than anyone else. Thankfully, I am blessed to have quite a few of these kind of people in my life. There are a few people that I can think of off the top of my head of a few different people who, on a continual basis, make me smile.
Hopefully, these people know just how much they mean to me. There are a few people who, by just thinking about them, it puts a smile on my face. I am not going to call you out and embarrass you over the internet, but, hopefully you know who you are ♥.
So, this is turning out to be a ridiculously long night of designing the cover for my book. BUT I would so much rather go a night without sleep and be working on something that has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember than not! We have been working our butts off for the past few hours trying to wrap things up for this project. BUT we did take a quick McDonalds break to re-fuel (sometimes fast food can be an a*m*a*z*i*n*g thing!). And after 4 large Red Bulls and some Starbucks coffee today, I am still wide awake and ready to get this thing done!!!
For years I have been writing and writing and writing with the dream of someday possibly sharing my work with the world. It always seemed like this was a BIG dream, and that the possibility of it coming true, was well, small. It wasn't until this year that I realized that I could make my dreams become more than just a dream... they could become a reality. And, right in front of my eyes, my dreams are coming to life.
As many people know I ♥ Aerosmith. Growing up whenever a problem in life came up or whenever life seemed to be getting really hard I would listen to their song "Amazing". I would play this song over and over and over again. The chorus, in particular, always got to me.
It's Amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It's Amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's Amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
I recently listened to this song and it made me so happy. There have been a few things in my life that I had been struggling dealing with. A few things that I just couldn't seem to accept. But, as soon as I played this song, it hit me. And, I just got it. Everything really was ok. Everything really would be fine. And, actually, everything would be amazing. I had the control. I HAVE the control. And I can make my life be whatever I want it to be. I no longer look out at the world with eyes that only dream... I look out at the world with eyes that believe.... They believe in my dreams. And they believe that my dreams will become a reality.
Ahh, so much more to write. But I am on lunch at work and my break it just about over. Till next time....
Wow! What an amazing trip. I can not even begin to tell you how inspired those 6 days in San Francisco made me feel. At work on a lunch break right now... definitely have MANY stories to tell. I will blog more tonight! But here are just a few things that made me BLUSH OUT LOUD while on my vacation... Just a few pictures out of almost 200! Stay posted!!!
Well, hello world. Yes, I know. It's been a while. Life has been crazy busy and honestly, I have had way too much on my mind to get any writing done. Ok, yeah, even I have to admit, that is one of THE most ridiculous cop outs ever. "Have lots on your mind?" ... that's the best time to get writing done. I guess I just have not been in the writing mood. But, I am back. Sitting at a 24 hr Starbucks right now. Grabbed myself a big caramel latte'. Ok, so it really isn't as big as it looks... but with free re-fills on your coffee it might as well be. And I ♥ it.
Should I be drinking a latte' this late? Lol, probably not. But after a day like today, eh... I think I will ok it. I haven't been out this late with blogging as my mission in quite a while, so I need a little help staying awake.
Anyways, just a quick hi before I get to work on tonight's real blog, lol.
