Today’s Nudge: Write about a dream you once had that you let go of, and where that led you.
FACT : I AM A BIG TIME DAY DREAMER. I'm always on CLOUD 9!


I had always dreamed of going to other countries first.
Until my husband suggested seeing our own back door first. Traveling here within our own country. There has been talk of him retiring and us going on the road and getting our cdl drivers license. There was talk for several years, about us getting an rv! And that dream finally came true. But we have just taken it to several local places. To break in the new. One of my friends said, how are you going to take a 69 Chevelle super sport and break it in, in your backyard ? I couldn't help but laugh. But all the things in this conversation made total since!
ALL DREAMS ARE REAL!
While, I never, ever saw myself as a traveling gypsy....
I have gotten hung up on the fact I used to dream of a career. Now, I am happily married, and working is only if I want to, or have to. Trust me, if need be, I would be just as happy working back at Captain D's again. I never saw, artist or mixed media artist selling canvases as my "career" so far it seems to be working! Everyone else's path is NOT my path. Which makes it hard for others to understand where I come from. As stated in previous blogs, my chosen path was a rock journalist for Rolling Stone magazine. I love to write, I love photography, and mix them both, to how much I truly love music! It's a dream job, pipe dream, but hey, I can still dream about it! I could never see leaving my family now to go write at the magazine. And being gone all the time. That is really why I am challenging myself to stay on top of this blogging challenge. And taking a risk and stepping out there, to see what followers, I can find that maybe I could connect with, to help me peruse my dream, if I can do it even from the comforts of my hometown.

PS I once had a conversation with a band mother of mine. She was and still is everyone's band momma.
The conversation went like, well, what is your dream?
I said to grow up and be a rolling stone magazine journalist!
She said, well you can't do both, you can either grow up, or you can be a rolling stone journalist.
So.... I think right now I am just still "GROWING UP!"
