Living the dream....

I'M SOOO SORRY THIS IS LATE!!! MY HUSBAND IS ON VACATION AND I'M MINDLESS... Everyone has a different dream. And it's okay to have different dreams. This was hard for me to wrap my mind around when I was younger... I fell into that trap of well, if that is what Sally is dreaming then that's what I need to be dreaming. It didn't matter that I didn't want to live in Kayak...it was Sally's dream so it had to be mine.

Luckily, I grew out of that stage..but I do still kayak.

My bestfriend ... 

Kayaking on the river by our house

 Now I am honestly living my dream...

I live less than 2 miles from this....

I hang out this great kid everyday...



I have bakery less than 3 miles that make these wonderful doughnuts....


And this book will be released next Tuesday (you can pre-order it now to help with my dream ;-P - https://www.books2read.com/u/4AYAeA (It will be available August 21))

It's not always easy to remember I'm living my dream...

While I have beautiful shoreline just minutes from house, I live in a very oppressed area. At least 1 person is shot every week... it doesn't always result in death but on May 29th it did. My son was killed. He had lost his way and was living a hard life. That doesn't make his death any easier on this mom's heart.


I know will be raising my grandson as a solo grandma. His dad will be gone forever. Gone are the dreams that my son/his dad would find his way. Gone are my dreams of playing Grandma.


The doughnuts have tons of calories and are bad for my health.

And what if no one buys my book?

I've gone from living the dream to residing in the nightmare. Where can I find and join Sally???

But then my grandson runs into my office and says - "Gramma hear that? That's the lake calling us. It picked us to go swimming today." (We love Moana) And he holds out my swimsuit.

And really I don't care if doughnuts have calories...I hang out a few minutes longer on the treadmill.

I do want people to buy my book...to like my book. But I don't write just for that. I write because it's what my soul needs to be healthy.

The key to living the dream...knowing that even dreams will have a storm or two. Get an umberlla and continue living your dream.

Thanks for stopping by! See you next month.
