“The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts” H. Jackson Brown

Well if that quote doesn’t sum up my intention for this blog, I don’t know what does. I’ve had big dreams of writing a blog for many years. I’ve sporadically blogged over the years but I’ve recently felt the need to do it on a more consistent basis. Deep down, my dream job is to be a columnist for one of my favorite sites like Huffington Post or Elephant Journal. The quote said BIG dreams. Writing is extremely cathartic for me. I’m an intensely emotional person and am quite passionate about the things I love and the things I despise. Most things fall on either list, there is not a lot of middle-ground storage in my opinion vault. The quote also says dreams are more powerful than facts, which is great because this blog is fueled on dreams and opinions.

In the past I’ve written primarily about my three children because being their mom is such an integral part of who I am. My dream for this new blog is to write about whatever topic I feel the conversation in my head between myself and I just didn’t squelch. I hope to share funny stories that make us laugh, ask questions that help us learn and provoke thoughts that help us grow.

Also, please don’t hold my children accountable for my opinions. They have their own opinions and that’s not only allowed but encouraged in our house.
