I love writing!

I am loving this challenge I gave myself!  It's funny that I have dreaded it only a couple of times because I was so tired when I finally had time to write, but then ended up with something creatively cute.  I want to do this all the time.  I feel like I could do this all the time.  But it doesn't pay the bills...yet.

I still feel deep down in my heart that this is what I am supposed to do.  Why would God be giving me all this creativity and storytelling ability if there wasn't a purpose behind it?  That's why I am going to keep writing.  I know that eventually whatever I am supposed to write will be written.  He will give me the words, the inspiration, the time.  Until then, I just have to keep doing what I'm doing.  I trust His timing and His plan.

I finished tonight's story and just wanted to jot down my feelings, my hopes, my dreams, and goals about this little blog project of mine.  I also still want to find a way to obtain the old post office building downtown and turn it into an interactive, recycled art/craft/recreation/music/language museum.  I have a folder of ideas and room plans and exhibit areas - just need the funding!  I'll be working on that soon.

Thanks for reading these little blogs of mine.

New idea coming soon

I've been absent from my blog lately so here's a little update:

Things are back up and running at the hacienda - cable, internet, phones are all on.
Bills are caught up - at the moment.
6 year old bill collector decides to get a lawyer to garnish my paycheck.  Without proper warning.
Busy being a full-time football mom/agent/fan/newspaper collector/photographer.
Busy being a full-time college scholarship hunter/essay proofreader/resume builder.
Busy being a full-time fundraiser/talent agent for a busy little 10 year old actress.

All that to say this:  I plan on doing something amazing!  Soon.  Very soon.  Like, hopefully, tomorrow.  Maybe even tonight.

First things first, my 2nd children's book is out of production and heading to marketing.  I hope to know publication date and have some book signings lined up before the holidays.  Super excited about this.

Secondly,  I plan to organize all my stories and sketches to get prepared for what has been on my mind and heart lately.  I'm really quite excited about it and can hardly contain myself...but I must.  At least for now.

Finally, I have been praying a lot more lately and know that the good Lord has a plan for me and for my family and I am trusting His timing in all things.   I believe that I will achieve all my dreams and that it is coming soon.  I believe I have something amazing to offer the world.  I believe in myself.  I am crazy enough to make this happen!

Why be average when you can be amazing?
