dreeeeam, dream, dream, dream....

So, I have a friend who blogs.  Vanessa.

I read her blog today and it got me thinking. 

She posted some of her dreams, some pretty sweet dreams that I hope she is able to accomplish.

and at the end she asks the reader what their dreams are. 

Vanessa, and my faithful follwers, here's my list:

(in no particular order)

• to sit in the sunshine atop a mountain (preferably surrounded by mountains)
• take my kids canoeing on the Buffalo National River, Arkansas
• share Christ confidently
• publish a book
• learn to weld
• sing a solo or duet in front of a crowd
• perform Shakespeare on stage
• rappel something high and overhanging
• travel to New Zealand and Australia
• read all of CS Lewis' works (except maybe his science fiction)
• go to Northern Ireland with my husband, kids and my dad - so they may see it through his eyes.
• skydive
• sell some of my photography
• hear God speak to me. (like Samuel when he was a boy- - verbally)
• bike downhill without using my brakes.. no fear!
• run 10km
• backpack throughout Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand or Australia
• wear my Birks all though the winter without cold feet or socks.
• to have dreads to my mid-back.
• learn spanish
• love who God made me

everyone has dreams. 

these are some of mine.

what are yours?



deleted

So the other day I deleted one of my posts.

i didn't want to but needed to.

it was about my kids and their favorite things to do.  

I had titled it Nekked Kid. (only spelt properly)

i had debated the spelling, I had debated the title and finally just posted it.

i liked the entry.  

I liked the photos I chose of my kids. 

it made me laugh reading it - especially as one was clotheless running around at the same time I wrote it.

why did I delete it?

i was checking out my stats - seeing who stopped by the blog to visit, when I saw under the search stat that someone had found my blog when they searched N_k_d Kid.

i wanted to vomit. 

if someone is searching that on google I don't want my kids, my stories, to be a result of that search. 

I know I should never have titled it that.

I debated it for a reason, and should have listened to my inner battle.

so that's that.

all I want to say.
