How fast a year goes by, just the other day I was struggling to think of “26 goals” now I am writing 27.
*Some of my favorite things about “26” were the surprises… the non-planned adventures.
I learned that during my pursuit of desires to always keep my eyes open for magic.
It’s getting harder to write these lists, they keep getting longer and life is even more uncertain this year than ever before.
Uncertainty has a way of stealing our ability to dream, so more than ever I set to writing this list.
I will not allow my ability to dream be stolen from me.
This year the dreams are simpler because that is as far as I could stretch my heart.
Small moments of magic and pleasure. I think this is alright, dreams don’t have to be grandiose to be of value.
They just have to be real and honest. So here we go 27, lets make it a down to earth, bliss filled year!
