Ok, so i'm back! With a new purpose! I've returned to blogging to mark my journey towards my dream, this being day 1.
Upon recommendation from a few friends, i've recently started reading a book by Bruce Wilkenson. The first half of the book narrates a parable about a nobody who's given a dream repesented by a feather.
The entire parable details the nobody's journey to ultimately achieving their dream, the encounter fears, obstacles, victories, setbacks, and much more. I must admit, the beginning of the book is not what piqued my interest. I haven't finished reading yet, the the second half of the book incites a probing into the reader's mind to get them thinking about what dream they have been given and born to fulfill--This is where I started to pay attention. Two key questions have been floating around my mind for the past couple of days and have inspired me to this point:
What have I always enjoyed doing? and, What would I do if I had no limits or restraints of any kind?
Answer 1: As I think back to my childhood...I found that I have always loved to create. I loved to draw, write songs with my bestie, write plays and act them out, write short stories, paint with the legendary Bob Ross (on tv), and play and listen to music. Creativity has been woven into the fibers of my very being.
Answer 2: If I had no limits of any kind, I would have a studio in my home in which I could outlet my creativity at my own leisure. It would be a place where I would play music and paint, draw, design, enjoy photography, and make crafts. I would decorate and redecorate often, it would be a cozy haven of sorts.
So with these answers under my belt, I have decided to start on the path towards my dream by establishing myself as an artist. Those who know me have encountered my creative side in one way or another and now I feel that its time to make some solid steps in the right direction.
To top it all off, I got in my car to come home after a long day of store hopping, reached to my left to pull the seatbelt over me, and...spotted, resting neatly on the other side of the window...a feather!
Co-incidence?... I really don't think so :c)
I was so surprised to see it, I rolled the window down and grabbed the feather before I could take a picture...but I re-staged it so that you could see the peculiarity of the whole thing. Keep in mind, I was at the mall...not this open area that you see.
