Hmmm… this is an interesting one for me because I actually am living my dream right now, despite the obstacles, trials and tribulations I have experienced and will continue to work through.
There are those who are, in fact jealous and not in a good way -and cannot, nor will they allow themselves to be happy for me.
I have many mentors… (not hero’s) whom I’ve looked up to, and who’ve helped shaped my decisions whether they’d realized it or not.
There are those who will try to stand in your way and try to discourage you from attaining what your heart desires.They are negative and fault-finding, ignorant and do not wish to hear of the success of another.
I did the attainable, accomplished the possible… and now it seems the near impossible is, despite the odds,becoming reality. I’m making it happen, despite frustration, apprehention and fears and many tears along the way.
My life in short… I have secured a spot on a radio-talk show in Boston.
I’m a single parent to five children, most with disabilities, some within the Autistic Spectrum, four with AD/HD, and have co-morbid disorders ,right alongside my ADHD and co-morbid disorders as well.
I have a 10 year old boy I sponsor in Africa.
I have completed an Art Residency, and now have pieces in local galleries as well as a chance for a solo exhibition, on top contracts and other exhibits I enter.
I’m in my third year of Classical guitar, take Classical voice lessons (I took Contemporary lessons for two years) along with Vocal Training. Lessons five days a week. I sang in two choirs last year and have a recital upcoming in the spring. I plan to enter into Music Therapy to attain my degree.
I am an officer in the inner circle of a Fine Arts Site, as well as a Moderator in an Autism Forum in the UK.
I live life with no regrets and am making my dreams a reality. Financially it is difficult, but I have not allowed that to stop me.I use the proceeds from my Fine Art sales to help cover some of the costs of the lessons I take.
I’m well on my way to being what I want to be and become… I am already who I want to be… but I always leave room for improvements. ☻ I just thought I’d share… thanks everyone for just listening… Dare to dream.

Thank you Cookie and I do hope that whatever has happened ( oh, do tell ) in the last 5 days for you has put you where you want to be and where you want to go…

You write such great posts, they spark thoughts inside me. I love that writing makes you feel that way and that you share that passion with us. I believe your destiny inspires all of us to reach for the stars .

I’m not sure what my sweet destiny is. I feel like I’ve been meandering on the path to self discovery in the last 9 years. Perhaps relearning different behaviors to help me cope with the issues surrounding ADD will help me to find out what feels right inside. With the things that I’ve become aware of in the last five days, I know that I’m on the right path to finding what my destiny is.

I don’t know what happened but I used to worry so much about what other people thought…and I just don’t seem to worry about it anymore. Well, not NEVER…but…I’ve learned to simply plan what I wish to plan without worrying too much what others might think about it.

And it’s pretty freeing…and I get way more stuff done. And then I try to help others do the same thing

Earnings, a job and taking care of things that need to get done are important, sometimes even critical; however, there’s also a time to dance and play… thank you

Wow Bryan !

I could’nt have said so well !

It is a wonderful message, and it fell at the right place in our world who put so importance on earning and material things !

Personnally, I thing my sweet destiny is in writing because, when I’m writing (and reading, two things that come together!), I feel very good and I dont see anything else !

…your stars have fallen, and once again are dancing on the page…

…and twinkle so beautifully!
