The Dream Window

As I sat in the airport waiting to go home back on August 27, I wrote the words below. I had no idea what awaited me when I got back home. I had even bought a sign for my wall of inspiration at work that said “DON’T LOOK BACK YOU'RE NOT GOING THAT WAY”… As I reflected on the words, I felt compelled to share them with you, so here goes!!

So why does the dream window have to close? I’ve had many people ask me why now? As if I’m out of line for embarking on something new ... now. Let’s face it, I’m not a little girl, I’ve lived a whole life doing something else, but whose to say I can’t do this too? Entertainment is certainly a career that most start as very young people and they mature out of it, certainly not this backwards way I’m doing it, but who said it’s backwards? whose making up these rules? So, I get asked why now? The truth is, I still have some life left, in fact, the music has truly touched my soul, my spirit... it’s changed me! I’m not trying to be a mega star, or a star at all, I just want to share what many have told me, is a gift. God gave the gift of singing to a lot of people and trust me, I know there are millions of people who sing better than I do, who are sitting at home, not sharing. Well, I’m not doing that anymore.  My now friend and mentor asked me, after only meeting me let’s say twice, have I ever thought about doing a 3 song project... of course I never had because I never really saw it as possible... Me?  Or even thought about doing it period!! Who am I kidding?!! It was that question and a conversation asking me if I wrote lyrics and melodies that started it all. Because you see, apparently I DO write lyrics and melodies... I would just enjoy the melodies, lyrics and full on songs in my own head... I’ve always been very expressive, passionate, romantic... so my mind will just go into a fantasy... 

So why now? Why not now? Why not me? Why not you? I am hoping to inspire others to pursue dreams, whatever they may be... if it’s meant, everything will line up when you’re living your true purpose.  That happened to me. I simply had to do this, God served it up to me, I simply had to GO!.

I’d love to eliminate negativity from my life, people who don’t love me, sincerely support me, want what’s best for me, selfish, uncaring people...so that I can spend the rest of my time here sharing my gifts and showing love freely.  My heart was truly opened and truly freed, freed to realize that there is more out there for me...I believe the same is true for you too. 

The first step in dreaming is realizing you have one. It took me a little while to recognize it and it took time for God to orchestrate my meeting the perfect people to help me execute what was in me, just waiting to be set free. Go He says and Go I will! ❤️
