A dream is a wish your heart makes.

This morning I woke up to do my regular morning of blog reading and coffee drinking. I tuned into my favorite blog by Miss Katie Brown,  Confessions of a Young Married Couple and 20 seconds into reading I was squealing with delight.

My favorite blogger in the blogosphere is writing a book about her first five years of marriage. This is when blogging becomes a little weird, because the thing is…I feel like I know this woman. I want to call her up and congratulate her, tell her I’d be happy to take Bean off her hands for a night while her and Chris go celebrate. But then I remember that she has NO idea who I am, and that I sadly only know her through the interweb.

But I digress, the point is, I am so freaking proud that shes doing this. Once upon a time, Katie started a cute little wordpress blog, and I remember a specific post when she mentioned that her current page views per day was somewhere between 40-60. I don’t know the specific number of her pageviews now, but I think it's safe to say that they have skyrocketed.

I’ve been getting a little bogged down lately because I don’t feel extremely proud of myself right now. I don’t feel very challenged in my classes, and I know that path will have to continue for a little while because I can’t fight the fact that I ‘m going to have to take General Education classes for a while. But then I see someone like Katie, who just started blogging one day to stretch her little writing legs. She had a job that had nothing to do with writing, but she committed to making it a part of her life.

I don’t mean to say I want to become a writer, I just mean that I’ve been reminded that you can make your life anything you want if you just see the possibilities that are right at your feet.

Truth be told, blogging has kept me sane all year. When I was an acting major, blogs like Katie's about the mundane, yet funny activities in every day life kept me connected to a much more normal, human side of me that I really missed when I was constantly in a world surrounded by people who only live for art. Nowadays, as a communications major, blogging has actually been able to keep me more attached to the creative part of me through all of the design blogs that I now immerse myself in on a daily basis. There is just a little something for everyone, and that’s why I love it.

Anything can grow if you just plant the seed, and today, I got that reminder from Confessions of a Young Married Couple.

Alright y’all, go plant some seeds!

‘Til next time…
