I write.
I put it out there.
I write.
I put it out there.

Sometimes social media feels like a school auditorium
filled with people on stacked-up boxes,
screaming into megaphones.
Trying to be heard.
To be noticed.
To be whole in a world full of pieces.

Three Lessons to Empower Your Creativity
Picture
      "THE DREAMERS are the saviors of the world... Composer, sculptor, painter, poet, prophet, sage, these are the makers of the after-world, the architects of heaven. The world is beautiful because they have lived.
 
"Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish what stirs in your heart and what forms in your mind. Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become... The smallest and the greatest achievements were at first and for a time only dreams." 
                                                - As a Man Thinketh (One of the original “power of positive thinking" books, written over 100 years ago.)

I believe everyone is an artist. 
 
But if you look around, it’s not uncommon to mostly see “normal”, every-day people looking back at you. Most of these people have ordinary jobs and lead ordinary lives.

                     "From the very first page, Jillian Webster's passion and pain will grip you to the extent that you feel as though you are by her side, watching as her life unfolds. She will take you on her journey, a journey of finding herself and her place in the world when she doesn't even know what she is looking for...other than life. This book will show you what bravery means, it will show you what it's like to take life in your stride, and most of all it will show you what it's like to listen to your heart and never give up. Even though this genre is not my typical read, I'm so glad I picked it up based on a friend's recommendation. I loved it, and I'm so impressed by the quality of her writing for a first time author. I'm already looking forward to her next book, whatever it may be."   - Richard Amazon.com

I feel like I'm dreaming. Actually, now that I think about it, I feel this way often. I look around at my life and wonder how I got to be so lucky. And then I remember-it wasn't luck that brought me here, but hard work and faith.

I made this happen.
