Today I’m going to put my biggest dream down on my blog in the hopes that one day (soon) I’ll figure out how to make it come true. I believe it’s important to let a dream exist on its own. Be it in written form - or spoken. I’m planting this seed in the hopes that it will grow. Ok, Here goes….

I wish that Brent and I could raise our little family while being able to spend every day together - that we could make a living writing - him, continuing to write songs for tv/film and touring occasionally & me, writing childrens books and my blogs. I dream that we could have a little house of our own with a green grass yard. and a lemon tree. and hardwood floors that creak when you get up in the middle of the night for a glass of water.

I wish that Everly could grow up surrounded by many interesting cultures, and that she learns to appreciate people for those qualities that make us human and not for those differences that society allows to divide us.  I wish that we could travel with her and teach her history by showing her the actual places and not just pictures in a history book.

I wish to live simply, to leave more of a mark on the people in our lives and less of a mark on the planet that sustains us. I dream that Bailey Jane will make the Guiness book of world records for being the oldest living Boston terrier on the planet and that even when Gibson is a little old man dog that he will still give me that look that makes me feel like he understands every word I am saying and that my secret is safe with him.

I want all of this - and I believe it is possible for me to obtain it. Today my dream is moving forward.

Love,

M
