At A Crossroads

When you're a kid, you're told you can be anything you want when you grow up. You dreamed of being an astronaut exploring space or doctor finding the cure cancer. Maybe you wanted to explore the jungles of the Amazon. You can be a professional football player throwing the game winning pass just seconds before the clock runs out.
But as you grew older, the dreams started to fade and reality came crashing down on you. Maybe you have bad eyes or you find that being a doctor just isn't want you want to do anymore. Perhaps, you find yourself in a crossroads where you don't know what you want from life.
Just when you're unsure what the future holds, you find yourself falling in love again with the idea of pursuing your dreams. It's in moments like those that you have to make the toughest decision in your life. Do you follow your dreams and put your heart on the line?
Four years ago, I opened my laptop and made that choice, even if at the time I never expected them to lead me to where I am now. A story idea began to blossom inside my head, screaming at me to write it. So I did. And it bad, really bad, but it sparked a fire inside of me and suddenly I found myself diving headfirst.
I love writing. I love creating a whole new world with endless possibilities, to see my characters develop and take on a personality of their own.
Today, I smile because I've taken the chance and made my dreams come true. Plus, I get to start this journey with my best friends, Michele and Laura. God blessed me when he brought you two into my life, giving me the courage to let go of a lot and to keep trying.
