Welcome to Hollywood.
What's your dream?
Everybody's got a dream.
What's YOUR dream?
A question I've often thought of, tried to work through, and still occasionally haunts me. Big Man has a dream and he's working towards it. He's a writer/director on track to film his second full length feature film later this year. My mom had a dream. She created a company, took it public and shines still in the business world. I struggle sometimes without a clearly defined dream or dream job. I want to write a book. I want people to read what I write and know who I am. I would love to be a public speaker. I want to live in a beautiful home, drive a nice car and live the dream. But I don't have one solo mission that burns into everything I do.
And then I remembered last night.
I did have a dream.
And I'm already living it.
The truth is, the one thing I ALWAYS wanted, more than anything, more than a career, more than success and money...was to be a mom and a really good one. I wanted a family and a really big one. And sometimes I guess I just forget that the mom dream is just as noteworthy as commercial, worldly success or perhaps even more so. There's surely a time and place for everything. And being a mom has not gotten in the way of the things I have wanted to do or develop although it may have delayed a few goals. But when I look around at our babies and the family we have built that continues to grow and flourish I realize I AM living MY dream. I have given birth to four amazing babies and have been blessed to be the bonus mom to two other incredible children. And while it's often hard work, I'm a pretty good mom, most days and surely I have created the big family I wanted!
My dream?
I'm living the big one.
And man, life is good!
