Capital E for Encouragement| dreaming && not caring who thinks what

I have a lot of things I like to say.. I like to think I'm a funny lady

it's been said to me a lot 'you need to be a comedian'

maybe I will someday.. When we lived near Madison I knew they had

comedy clubs && improv nights 

it was a little more than a thought in my head about doing it

Heck, I'd talk to complete strangers about it.

Of course I'm sure there's a crowd of people who don't like

me or my humor that are giving a ridiculously hard, loud eye roll at this very moment in time

THING IS..

I don't care. I don't care. I don't care

^^ {I may have sung that}^^

This  isn't about me being a comedian (I'm fine where I am)  btw this is about dreams in general

See, I put on my 'war stripes' today... GRR!!

Let's chat about having a dream && making it happen && just not giving a crap who you upset..

       Sometimes I swear it begins to feel a little pressuring

following your heart/dreams, it's really kinda like Rapunzel I just thought of her in the movie where she's 

a little beat down, sad, at her wits end about the ruffians and thugs trying to turn Flynn in.. 

>>>See clip here <<<

'haven't any of you ever had a dream??'

That's how I've felt sometimes.. It's a pretty big deal right??! Having a dream.

Watching it rise, watching it fall ..learning to be the best you can at it..

I get called corny I guess for my 'capturing your precious moments' tagline

so be it., it's MY business literally and pun intended, feel free to make your own corny tag line if you want, I won't judge.  I'm a corny gal, I'm emotional .. This is not new info to anyone!
I just wanna dream without interruption okay? Don't you? Don't we all?

                                                       
                                    Some of my dreams have come true, others not so much....

Being a Mommy was a big time dream of mine, I wont lie I always thought I'd have boys though

girls just weren't my favorite growing up I've had about 10 solid girlfriends in my life.

 I accomplished Mommyhood with not one but 2 gorgeous Burt girls 

to adore every day God decides to bless us to spend together.

I hope I'm an okay Mom in their eyes

it all depends on the day & time or if they are grounded what they will say

and I've got the best years yet to come, but it's okay. It's much better than okay
It's my childhood first comes love, then marriage then  comes  Stacey in a baby carriage dream, right?!

Dreams that failed so far for me are:

Traveling across Europe

being an actress or comedian

 singing famously  (my voice is nay these days)

playing the guitar with excellence & the saxophone

 write/publish a book (have a few I've been working on for years)

I had a poem published at DACC like 6 years ago

& posted an excerpt on my personal fb page one day like last year but that's it

I'm not giving up on any of these things except maybe the saxophone

&&&&

I don't care. I don't care. I don't care 

what anyone says

{singing again}

 My personal/business/relationship/life motto:

'I make my own definition of success'

See you can't make it for me & no one take it from me either

 that's soooo gorgeous to me. 

I say (if what I say matters, if not that's cool)

Be a great person,  be super true to who you are

no matter what's said just know

 hold that head up high && continue striding on

if you let it stop you 

then later if you wanna start over or go for something else

all you did was allow that

problem to waste your own precious time.

Even worst you gave it rent free heart/brain space! Not cool

It's a rough, tough game being a creative 

I said it the other day, I'll say it again

Anyone who puts themselves out there artistically

or creates something all their own

is to be commended, not taken lightly

You are already an achiever so congratulations!

Stand up on your own little pedestal whether it's big or tall put on your own war stripes &

remember your achievements are personal to you & no one can say it's they aren't significant!

Til next time,

StaceB
