Stopping by from the A-Z and a new follower. Like you, I've had the writing dream most of my life. But more important to me than being a big writing success story was doing the best job possible raising my kids. We inspire through our attitudes and actions every bit as much as we do through our words. Nice to meet you! Stop by and meet me at wordsworldandwings.blogspot.com
Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.
Life lesson #1,294,379: Your kids may deny how much you inspire/influence them... but you do. And parents who aspire to their dreams, and work hard to make their dreams come true, tend to end up with kids who want to do the same. I've seen it in others, and I can only hope it holds true for my own. :)
Says so much in so little. "Rather strive than be." Had to think a bit about that one. Guess I'd rather strive than be, or remain, in one place without growing.
So short yet deep. Teach them through example Sarah.

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Love it! Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteYup, that is what I was eluding to. So many people seem content to stay stagnant, even if they don't like it there. Its sad. Thanks for visiting :)
DeleteSo true! :)
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by from the A-Z list, good luck with the rest of the challenge x
So true! I did the same post--to dream.
ReplyDeleteI love the inspiring tidbit!
ReplyDeleteI love that you were able to be so inspiring in so few words. Sometimes saying less gets right to the heart of the matter!
