What were yours? Have you done them or become them?
Obviously, I didn't get to sit amongst the clouds…or did I? I suppose being a flight attendant meant I sat amongst the clouds. I often sat at the window while traveling staring at the massive clouds as we flew through them. I'm never, never bored with clouds.
I've flown around the world, lived in Spain (not quite Scotland), and traced my genealogy back seven to ten generations on most family lines. But it wasn't enough. My dream, since around the first grade or earlier, was to go to Scotland to write the stories of my people. Then I wanted to expand to Ireland, England, Sweden. That dream hasn't quite happened though I visited England for a few days once while working. And yet, the wheels are turning to bring it through to fruition…
Scotland is finally on my radar. If that one trip can be in the planning, maybe the others can happen too. In the meantime, I do a lot of research to bring those daydreams into my life and write stories about the places I want to go. Something I think makes books the most awesome daydream experience in the world, whether fiction or non-fiction. Deep in the pages, I'm whooshing off into my dreams. Deep in the pages, I'm learning more about the places I want to go and how to do the things I want to do
I hope that deep in the pages of one of my books you'll also get picked up and whooshed into your dreams. Maybe you'll learn something or keep a dream alive because you've jumped into the story and immersed yourself in it like I do.
Dreams are scary. They stretch us and make us uncomfortable. Dreams make us more daring. Once achieved, a dream makes us more confident. But it takes courage to take the leap into the unknown.
