Wanting to Be a Writer

I remember growing up, as a little girl, and my mom telling me that I could be anything I wanted to be when I grew up.  This sent a sense of confidence throughout my heart, knowing that I could be anything I wanted to be.  I decided then, that I wanted to be a writer. 

I learned later, that my mom’s words were not completely accurate.  I could go to college to learn to write, but could I really be a published writer? 

To become a published writer takes more than an education, more than talent, and more than ambition.  It takes the right agent to believe in your work and to actually read it.  It can be frustrating to send out queries to hundreds of agents, without a single interest in reading your manuscript. 

Maybe my mom should have said that I can be anything I wanted to be when I grew up, but it wasn’t guaranteed that hard work would equal success.

A Second Chance

Do you believe in second chances or third or even fourth chances?  Have you completely given up on someone you loved?  Stopped loving them completely?  When is it time to walk away and when is it time to walk back?

A wise person once told me that if you have any percentage of love left in your heart for another and decide to split up, that 1% of doubt will haunt you, making you regret your decision to walk away.  It is true.  True love is always able to forgive and love again. 

Love is like a wilted flower.  You forget to water the flower and it will wilt and die.  You think it is dead, but decide to water it…… just in case.  The next day you look at the flower and it is open, alive, and beautiful once again.  This is true for our hearts as well.  Love needs to be nurtured, it may seem like it is dead, but with a little attention you will find that it is still alive and just as vibrant.

Don’t give up on true love<3

While St. Patrick’s is upon us….. you don’t need to be Irish in order to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.  Any holiday is a good excuse to get into the festivities.

Make a hot corned beef and cabbage dinner for your family.  Decorate your home with shamrocks and clovers.  Don’t forget to dress in green or you may get pinched.  Put some green food dye into your favorite beverage, cocktail, or beer.  We always pick up a fresh and yummy shamrock shake from McDonald’s. 

Anything you do with make the day fun and exciting, not only will you feel the spirit, but your children will have a blast celebrating with you as a family.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
