What's in YOUR future?
Hey guys! How is your 2015 going so far? January has been a little nuts at our house. But Kenzie just keeps exceeding my expectations of adorableness. I mean, really, how can you look at that face and not smile?
The husband is a full-time student, prepping for law school, and currently working to save Utah mountains. I've decided to start some new classes, including photography, archery, and dance, as well as start a new lifestyle blog--and continue to work on my latest writing project. Which, by the way, the archery class will be great research for this new novel! And Kenzie has decided she wants to start teething. Yeah, it's been busy. But I'm happy that both The husband and I are diving into things we're passionate about. I just hope Kenzie isn't passionate about teething, because, yikes, it's sounds unpleasant.
I've been wanting to share this drawing for some time. Remember that amazing, talented, wonderful fan named Anastasia? Well after reading The Secret of Darkwood Castle, she sent this image of Caleb and Julia. It just really made my day. One of the most rewarding feelings as an author is meeting readers who were inspired by your writing. Thank you so much, Anastasia! I love it.
I don't know why, but reality has just decided to hit me. I feel this sort of sadness knowing that The Shapeshifter's Secret trilogy is done. It's weird.
Anastasia's drawing reminded me of something from long ago. I pulled out these sketches I drew when I young and daydreamed about being an author. Next to my drawing of a girl is a list of possible character names. One of the names is Julia. As a thirteen year old, I had already picked out my main character's name.
It got me thinking.
It seems that undoubtedly what we fill our heads with daily will affect our future. Our day to day actions will add up and one day we will look back and reflect on them. If we constantly think negative thoughts, how will things turn out? But on the opposite side, what if we constantly think positive thoughts? What if we dream big NOW and fill our heads with hopes, goals, kindness, and world-changing ideas? Where will that put us in the future?
It's something to think about.
Oh, and by the way, it's never too late.
