A Dream Rekindled

I had an amazing holiday this year. Nothing like a trip to France to start the new year off right. But something else happened while I was away. I felt a renewed sense of obligation to rekindle my dream! For as long as I can remember, the only thing I have ever wanted to do is act. Then real life happened...not a good excuse, but it's mine. Life presented so many reasons why not to continue to pursue acting. However, I discovered that none were good enough to convince me that I'd be happy doing anything else. Hence, this blog!

I have a lot of wonderful people in my life, some of whom have never even seen me act, who continue to instill in me a sense of obligation I have to pursue my dream. They believe that I am meant to do something else...and frankly, so do I. This blog is an attempt to log my journey and remain accountable.

Mainly, however, this is a place to seek and share inspiration...that is my hope anyway. One main precipitating factor in my renewed focus was a conversation I had with a co-worker. She shared her story. She too had envisioned what she wanted to do all her life, but later as life happened, what she wanted out of it took another form and she is completely happy for it. I walked away from this meeting with a realization that everyone has a dream and if you just pursue it, even though it might not be the thing you get in the end, it will reveal where you're meant to be. And, you will be all the happier for it!

All I know is that I am in pursuit and I don't know what its going to look like in the end or along the way, but the journey is important and worth it. I don't want to be sidetracked anymore! So, please, share with me your dreams! Did you pursue your dream? Did you not? Did it change for you? Let's keep inspired people...let's rekindle the dream!
