"2012" Making Dreams Come True!!!

(Quote) Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.


"Napoleon Hill"


When I was a girl just ten years old, my father bought me a cabbage patch doll for Christmas one year. She had pudgy cheeks and her lips were puckered together like she just took a bite out of a lemon. In my opinion, it was the ugliest doll I had ever seen. When my father said he bought it because it looked like me; I remember holding the doll up to the mirror and thinking that my father must have tipped back a few beers before he bought that gift because I did not see the resemblance. Tossing that gift aside, determined to create my individuality; I became more interested with the gift my father bought my two little brothers.




It was a blow up punching bag. I was fascinated with the way you would hit the bag, it would hit the floor and then quickly pop back up. I began beating the living day lights out of that bag just so I can see it pop back up. Needless to say my brothers were not to happy but no one wants to bother a girl that appears to have a passion for punching.



I tell this story because when I look at the last 5 years of my life, I have at many times felt like that punching bag falling down more times then I care to remember at very rapid paces. There were so many obstacles and issues to solve, battling negative thoughts, traumas to be healed from. I have definitely not done life perfectly personally or professionally but one thing I have done perfectly is POP UP! There will always be some thing to overcome but as I quickly learned; getting knocked down does not feel good, but popping back up builds character and creates hope and possibility and a chance for a more peaceful existence.





As a child coming from a home that was certainly not a positive environment to say the least; I have always felt a sense of magic in the air. A hope for a better life, a brighter future. For me it starts with that first cup of coffee in the morning. I cannot wait to wake up just to smell the coffee brewing in the air. Thank god for automatic timers. I like to sit in my bed with my coffee snuggled with my blankets and contemplate my day and envision my goals. And then the magic hits me and I am like a girl at Christmas again. I am in awe, wonder and anticipation of what will happen next. What is around that corner? I just have to know.
