I look around and I see so many people living what I think are their dreams. I don't know these people. I don't know what they dream about at night or what they long to do in the dull hours of the afternoon.
I know that I don't want to wait anymore to live my dream. My dream is to live a life full of joy, to experience that which brings love and laughter into my life. I have waited and hoped for so long that it would come to me, but I have realized that I have to cultivate. Despite knowing that I needed to build the life I dreamed of, I didn't crave it, I didn't have the taste of it on my tongue. It was a fever dream, something that I was never sure that I would truly be able to hold in my hand.
Today, I am tending to the garden of my life, eagerly anticipating the rewards that I am sure to reap now that I have dedicated myself to enriching my life with joy.
I am not sure what I will write about in the weeks to come. However, I do know that it will allow me to cultivate the life that I love and enjoy the moments that I have been craving longer than I care to admit. I will no longer deny myself what I want because I feel the shame of possible failure. I have heard so many times that you cannot succeed without failing over and over.
I am eager to share recipes that bring light and warmth into my home, poems that make my soul move, books that have pushed me expand my worldview, and musings about how we can best proceed in a world that is changing rapidly.
