It's Never Too Late To Have A Dream.........

Ok, admit it, we all have them.  Those little secret indulgences that if anyone knew, we would do one of two things, deny or make excuses.  For me, they can range from rerun episodes of the Golden Girls to grabbing a can of hairspray (my impromptu microphone) and singing at the top of my lungs in front of my bathroom or closet mirror.  I have let it slip recently that Cecil has a guilty pleasure too, but I seem to make excuses for why he has seen every episode of Army Wives......thank you Jesika Gunter for the entire DVD collection.

What about secret dreams, do you have any?  I do and they all seem to stem from things in life that I never thought I would be able to accomplish or possess.  I never thought that I would be able to accomplish singing in a popular rock and roll band, but I did.  I never thought I could possess the amazing friends that I am blessed to have, but I did.  I never imagined I would have found the husband that I secretly dreamt about since watching my first Disney movie, but I did.  

There are also those things that I have not yet accomplished, mostly out of fear or blindness.  Fear of failure or fear it will not be as fulfilling as I hoped or out of sheer lack of knowledge of their very existence.  Everyday, I see or read about a new profession and think, why didn't I think of that during those darn career days at school.  Professional ballroom dancer, fitness model, entertainment television host, fashion designer, professional athlete, stylist, travel and food writer.....these are just a sampling of a few of the things I wish I would have pursued while still in my youth.  Is it really too late?  

Even though some of the things that I really wish I would have tried or adapted into my life are a little out of my timeline grasp, it is never too late to try or at least adapt those desires into your life in a small way.  I have found a new determination inside of me with my trail to the tiara and I am hoping that this opportunity will allow some doors to open that before, never seemed possible.  From an early age, I have been told from amazing parents that I could accomplish anything that I set my mind to.  I believe that more than ever and hope I can make some of my dreams a reality.
