I have decieded to try blogging to see how I like it...
I have always really had a passion for writing and somehow it just got thrown by the waste side. I think that happens..I think that people get so consumed with everyday life, being a mom, being a wife, being a co-worker, cooking supper, cleaning, etc...that they sometimes forget the person that they used to be. Or better yet...forget all the things that actually made them who they were. You lose who you actually are and instead become someone that you hardly recognize..im talking mostly about myself than about anyone else...Dont get me wrong, I love my life, I love being and mother and a wife, but I am one of the few people that believes being a mom and mother does not define who you are as a person. I believe that you have to have some sort of seperation, the things that you can turn to in the quiet of the night when everyone else is in bed and its just you and your thoughts. Things that let you know.."Hey, Im still Jessica, Im still that girl that will climb a tree in a heartbeat, the girl that likes her water room temperature, that loves walking barefoot in the soft grass, the girl that still dreams of writing a book, the girl that once she puts a pen to paper everything else around her drops away and its not everyone else's world..its now her's...The girl that actually goes after her dreams instead of watching them pass her by...
I think that I have let go of some of the fire within myself, I have let go of some of the things that make me "Me"...and I'm not particularly happy with myself for doing it. You know what they say...If you don't like it, Change it! Well...Here goes... :)

Go After Your Dreams
You're good, but you're going to be great.
You're the best, but you're going to get better.
Sometimes the paths we take are long and hard, but remember: those are always the ones that lead to the most beautiful views.
Challenges come along inevitably: how you respond to them determines who you are - deep down inside - and everything you're going to be.
Increase the chances of reaching your goals by working at them gradually. The very best you can do is all that is asked of you.
Realize that you are capable of working miracles of your own making. Remember that opportunities have a reason for knocking on your door, and the right ones are there for the taking.
You don't always have to win, but you do need to know what it takes to be a winner.
It's up to you to find the key that unlocks the door to a more fulfilling life.
Understand that increased difficulty brings you nearer to the truth of how to survive it - and get beyond it.
Cross your bridges.
Meet your challenges.
Reach out for your dreams, and bring them closer and closer to your heart.
Get rid of the "if only's" and get on with whatever you need to do to get things right.
Go after what you want in life, with all the blessings of all the people who care about you. And find out what making your wishes come true really feels like.
