"If you have a heartbeat.... there's still time for your dreams" - Sean Stephenson
It's Saturday morning at our house. In the distance I hear the girls listening to "I could die a happy man" by Thomas Rhett in the hot tub. The fireplace is burning warm and bright, warming my legs as I sit and enjoy my turmeric tea... contemplating the day ahead. It is beautiful here, and I do love our winters. The white snow fills the lands around our home like a fluffy blanket, protecting and keeping us warm. The vegetation all sleeping, preparing for this summer growth and fall harvest.
I've found my old copy of the 2019 Farmer's Almanac by Harrowsmith (I've not yet bought 2020 version) as I love the stories. I'm going through it to find articles on Homesteading and Gardening, little nuggets of information to help inspire my upcoming year at the Dreamhouse Homestead. I find myself reading the Editor's letter as the title caught my eye: "Job perks of being an editor-in-chief". Jules Torti writes of how she gets to write about all sorts of things that amaze and interest her... the same things that interest me. "In one afternoon, I can talk to a brewmaster about milk stouts, an elk farmer about how antler velvet is used in supplements, and a horticulturalist on Salt Spring Island about mastering the growing of mangoes and avocados in Canada." Can you imagine! She gets to read about peoples stories, learn about how they go about their journey, and then summarize the tale for magazines - Yes, this is exactly what would make me very happy to be doing too.. even if only part time. Writing has been a distance dream for as long as I can remember - I wrote stories in scrap books when I was a very young girl.
I have loved reading, writing and sharing, in this blog, on facebook and in person. All I have to do, is keep writing. HOW SIMPLY WONDERFUL! This is my dream slapping me in the face, reminding me of what I love, just when I got too busy and forgot about her. I love the synchronicity of how this keeps happening.... your dreams speak to you.... just listen.
I have recently applied for a position with the GIST - a sports newsletter written for women, by women. I'm hoping to be a part time editor for them... I'm worried that my heavily technical resume doesn't scare them into thinking I may be too LEFT BRAINED ;)
Nothing would please me more than to be writing, sharing, experiencing, learning and supporting the education of our ideals!
Step up to the plate, grab the batt and swing! I may just get that home run.
