“A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work. “
Colin Powell
Thanks for that Spidey.
I’ve been doing a lot of dreaming over the last few years.
There are the dreams of a bigger, more organised house, the dreams of being able to jet off to wherever we fancy for holidays, the dreams of being able to see my nephews without the need for a flight, the dreams of becoming a writer…
Some dreams can come true just by time passing, some need a little effort, some need some initiative.
So, the holiday one… well, one day we’ll be able to have saved up enough that we can just swan off whenever…
The house one, Marie Kondo is helping me organise, and we are in the throes of deciding… extension or move?
Seeing my nephews… well, they are in a different country. It’s never going to be easy, but at least I can feel happy at the fact that we will see them in May, and I can finally cuddle my newest baby nephew, who will be two months off being a year old by then!
But the writer dream… well, that’s the one that is mine, and one that only I can push for.
So I have tried my hardest. That first book is written, it has been read by two, and is being read by a couple of others too. And I have entered it into a literary competition, and sent off my first agent submission… eek!
I’m not totally oblivious to the fact that there is a high chance that I shan’t get signed after just one submission, so I shall submit to more… but in case there is still nothing, I have been gathering quotes for professional edits and critiques… so if it happens, I am ready for the Indie adventure.
It’s not easy though. Going Indie can cost you a lot, so my next aim is to slowly fill my writer’s pot with any spare money I have, and I have even requested to Hubby Dearest that instead of presents for me, a donation to the pot would be the best gift!
And to improve my craft, I have started a writers course, to develop my art…
See. I am working on my dreams!
So… tell me, what is your biggest dream, right now, and what are you doing to try and make it come true?
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps And enjoy your week! ❤

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” – C.S. Lewis
Well, here it is. The last Sunday of 2018.
Where did that year go? Seriously, it has flown by and I can’t quite believe it.
It’s been eventful in so many ways, with work and stress, family and stress, writing and stress… I think you get the gist of what I am saying. 2018 was filled with a whole lot of stress for me, but there were many good points too.
My dream for next year is to be able to take more time for me.
So I don’t fall into the stress potholes of life so easily.
So I can deal with work issues without worry.
So I can handle the inevitable ups and downs of family life calmly
So I can really work on this writing malarkey and fulfil one of my biggest dreams…
That’s my wish for you all too. More time for self care so you feel refreshed for your daily lives. ❤
So… tell me, what new dreams are you hoping to realise in 2019?
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps And enjoy your New Year’s Celebration! Wishing you a prosperous 2019 ❤

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you.” Anne Lamott
Thanks, Spidey!
I think we may have read this one together before, but it is so important, I’m glad Spidey brought it to my attention again.
I am constantly on the go; work, family and writing.
It is non-stop, seriously, and I didn’t understand before, the importance of putting myself first at times, and listening to my body telling me I needed time away from the rigours of life.
But I have managed to balance things now, and learned to spot the signals that I need to rest, break away from normality for a while, in order that I stay on track for 99% of the time.
No one can be on it 100% of the time, but we just need to learn when to switch off, and charge up!
I’ll sleep, watch films of programmes I never get a chance to, read, potter about my house, that is what I need to ground myself.
How do you unplug? 😘
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps ❤ And enjoy your week!

“If you don’t imagine, nothing ever happens at all.” John Green, Paper Towns
Thanks, Spidey!
Think, dream, imagine.
Build your future, aiming for those dreams.
The above quote says it all.
If you don’t even dream it’s possible, how can you make it a reality?
Tell me your aims 😘
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps ❤ And enjoy your week!
