A MOM, A WIFE, A DREAMER......

My first entry! My main motive to create this blog was to express the fact, that even though I am a mom and a wife, I am also a dreamer. I have hopes and dreams and thoughts and they didn't all go away because I got married and had a family. My creative juices are always at the tip of my brain, yet my family comes first and I am the caretaker...which I love to be! So how then, do I have the "other" me as well? I know I am not the only woman,nor the first to think about this. So what do we do, fellow mom/wife dreamers? I play guitar and sing. I use to play out at open mic night's and record my music. I love to write songs and poetry. I love to paint...mostly furniture and small things, but none the less, I paint. I love to cook and not from recipe. I love to go out for coffee and talk about inspiring things. I love to rediscover myself everyday, and I love to constantly change my goals and dreams. The fact here, my friends and fellow mom/wife dreamers, is just because we have promised to be faithful to the end to the one's we love, and give ourselves completely to our children...does not mean that we have disappeared. You can conquer all of these areas completely and still be who we are underneath.I have to thank my wonderful husband, who every day walks me through my endeavours!He supports me to be anything I want to be and truly loves me no matter what I do,what I look like, or how I feel. To my beautiful son Austin, who indeed changed my life forever.Introduced me to another possible me,and challenges me to be a more positive,more patient me.To all of the strong,loving women in my life...you know who you are. You are my friends,my sisters and my mothers. You are my support and my strength. Last but not least, my wonderful and loving parents! I have learned from their wisdom and by their faith in me. My mother and Father admit when they make mistakes and I think that has proven more to me than anything...that we are ALL imperfect and yet we CAN change and help others at the same time. They have an unconditional love that I am eternally greatful for! I hope to share my growth and progress with you all and encourage your feedback. With love~Amandolyn
