I wanted to become a nun-artist who owned horses! Well, I am an artist, but am a mom of 4 grandma of 6, love my husband dearly. I did get to own a little paint when in high-school, but he was lonely for other horses and kept running off to pastures with horses (he was an only horse when we had him), so my folks decided to sell him to a family that had other horses so he wouldn’t be lonely and running off anymore. Now I have a cat, and a crazy 1/2 wiener dog 1/2 boxer, who is almost 2 yrs old and we share a birthday. He thinks he’s my shadow. I’m happy how it all turned out. Very grateful too.

What an interesting and inspiring article, Amber! I’ve had many dreams over the years from childhood on. But the one that has stayed with my longest is to travel the world. I used to watch Samantha Brown on the Travel channel and think she had the perfect job. But reality and practicality have made that a bit difficult. Plus, I need someone to travel with. There is no point in creating memories alone. You need someone to share them with. In the meantime, my sister and I take short little weekend trips every now and then to keep the dream alive.

In reply to M. Thank you for sharing! You have beautiful dreams. And I'm glad to hear you found a job that fulfills you now. I can definitely relate to the burnout. :) And I agree, the time is now!

I, too, believe in keeping your childhood dreams alive.And to keep dreaming into adulthood and creating new dreams!

My dream growing up was to be a prima ballerina, and then later, to sing and dance in musicals like Singin in the Rain, Swing Time, and The Music Man. I can say I achieved my dream of being in The Music Man at 18 years old, and it was heaven. Then, unfortunately, in my 20s I got in a hole of working a stressful job that did not fulfill me, getting my masters degree, and going through a certificate program. By age 30, I was exhausted and finally quit my job and found a new path for myself. Thankfully now I am at a wonderful job that I love, and I’m doing professional theatre at night. And in a year or so I hope to travel to the UK and visit all my favorite locations from Pride & Prejudice and Jane Eyre. I’m done pushing my dreams aside – the time is now! 🙂
