For many of us, it takes some times for things to fall into place. Maybe you're stuck and not sure what you're next move is. Or maybe you just feel uninspired. Either way, if you keep an open mind, you can always get yourself back on track.

We all need little reminders sometimes of who we are and what we want out of life. So let these words guide you as you find your way back to your true self.

DREAM.

I am a self-proclaimed dreamer. There's always a vision in tact, an idea I'd like to develop, or a project to work on that could inspire and motivate others. Being a dreamer is a beautiful thing. It means that you have an imagination, a mind that thinks outside the box and sees the world in a very unique and inspiring way.

But being a dreamer does not mean that your visions become a reality. In order to transcend from a dream state, you have to transform the dreaming into action. I’ve been hard on myself in the past, and even now, for not following through on every project. Some things you will start, but will never finish.

My thing is, if it was something you were really meant to do, you would have. For whatever reason, whether it be opportunity or timing, things just didn’t get done. The true test of figuring out if something is meant to be, is if you can never forget it. If it’s something that constantly resurfaces in your life, I’d take that as a sign that at some point it should be taken more seriously.

Give your dream a shot and see how far you can take it.

TRAVEL.

Traveling is one of my absolute favorite things to do. Ever. And now that I have a new baby boy, it's the one gift I will undoubtedly give to him. I want to show him the world, one city and country at a time. At seven weeks old, he has his passport and in a few months will take flight across the world. His dad and I have done our fair share of traveling and will live the rest of our lives seeing new places with our little ones.

That’s the one dream that will become a reality. I know there are many other people with the same dream but have no idea where to start and how to do it. As I navigate my way, I look forward to sharing whatever relevant information I find with you.

CREATE.

I love this straightforward definition of what it means to create: bring into existence or cause (something) to happen as a result of someone’s action.

This blog, the words strung together in each post, are my creation. These are my manifested thoughts that I type, publish, and share with the world (or the couple viewers I’ve had so far😊.I thrive on being a creative, whether it’s a beautiful photograph I’ve taken, or speaking thought-provoking words that encourages someone to dig a little deeper.

When you create, you have the potential to alter someone’s entire existence; thus, you have the power to make history. This is where our true power lies and it should be nurtured and never taken for granted.

INSPIRE.

To inspire is to love. It’s how we show appreciation for all we’ve been given. It’s an unselfish act and shows a great deal of affection for our fellow man. It demonstrates that you care about what happens to the next person and that you are personally invested.

When you’ve been blessed and you share those blessings, you’re instilling hope and providing opportunity for others. My story is no fairy tale. I’ve been depressed, scared shitless, fired, broken-hearted, betrayed… point is, I’ve still lived a vibrant and adventurous life.

I hope to inspire people to live their best life possible no matter the circumstances.
