As a child, I loved visiting the dollhouse aisle at Michaels. I would stare at the different dollhouses and dream that I would have one someday. When I was 8 my wish came true, and Santa brought me a dollhouse kit with the bay house windows I wanted. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I wanted a bay window in my room. If I couldn’t have it in my real life, my dollhouse would have it. Unfortunately, my dad never started with me the project of building my dollhouse. Over time, the poor kit got pushed back deeper in storage and pieces fell out and broke.
One day I was at lunch with a writer friend of mine and she started telling me about her latest project. Something she had said struck a chord in me and I shared the story of the dollhouse I always wanted. I got to thinking about not just the dollhouse, but other things that I wanted that never took off the ground. One of my biggest pet peeves is waiting on others, yet, here I am waiting on myself to do things.
At this time, in my life it’s just me. I’m learning that I need to go after the things I want to do and see. This is going to be about my journey building and checking off the things that I want. I’m sick of this emphasis outside of my career as I grow up being on love, dating, marriage, and children. I’d rather spend my time doing the things I can because I’m not tied down. It’s time I start living life instead of waiting for things to happen.
