I know the spring season has just begun, but I am already dreaming of summer. I can't escape the nagging voice that tells me that someday I will move to Nantucket. I just feel it in my veins that it's where I'm supposed to end up. Here is the thing, I have no idea how it's going to happen, and I'm certain it probably won't be anytime soon.
With divorce comes inevitable change but it also allows us the gift of being able to reinvent ourselves. I have decided that I have an aching desire to create the life I want to live. It's not going to happen overnight and patience has never been my strong suit. Let's face it, God can't steer a ship that's not moving, so for now I will dream and not get discouraged. I think the biggest part in achieving any dream or goal is not losing sight of it. If you even think for a second that it's impossible you might as well kiss your dream goodbye.
Care to join me in creating the life of your dreams?

ReplyDeleteYou will move to Nantucket...with this attitude and visualization...I believe you will be there before you know it. I agree with Anita...these colors are beautiful and it is one of my favorite warm weather combos for dress!

I have no doubt in my mind that you WILL achieve all you set out to do (living on Nantucket included) I love your spirit and positive vibes.....can feel them all the way over here! The colors in this post are gorgeous and so uplifitng! I believe in taking hold of your dreams and at least attempting to make them real.....you know what they say "if you can dream it, you can do it"! I can see you now writing your blog from your desk overlooking Nantucket Harbor:)
ReplyDeleteGreat sentiment! I am all about achieving my goals this year and I write them down and write down my progress every few weeks. It's been really helpful for me to do and I know that this is going to be a great year because of that! :)
ReplyDeletemy dream right now is to jump head first into that cake! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your caption for each photo. You are amazing at capturing the essence of a woman's dream life. How are you? I am slowly making my way back after surgery. It has been quite a journey but it was also a dream come true that I saw in my future and now on to the next big dream....dawn suitcase vignettes p.s. I love the quote about the ship. smiling
ReplyDeleteNow who wouldn't want to be this girl?! Dreamy life!
ReplyDeleteAnd you in Nantucket-- sounds heavenly! I hope you do it! And when you do I'm going to love looking at all the photos of your beautiful home.
Here's to dreaming and doing,

Don't ever give up Debby but sometimes if you really feel it in your bones you just have to take that leap and do it....DO IT! That's what I do and I've never gone wrong.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!

ReplyDeletecaroline @ patagonia gifts and jewelry
oh I just adore all these fresh springy colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is me! This is so me! Sigh- you really need to write an inspirational girls book.
ReplyDeleteDebby,
ReplyDeleteDon't you love that smile on the model?!! ... and all the colors in this post! So pretty and I always enjoy how you capture the essence of a woman.
Debby, there is no doubt you will design the life you choose. Keep dreaming - look forward and go for it and you will succeed. xo. Leslie
Oh do keep the dream in sight at all times! Nantucket! *swoon* I figure it like this...if I can make a dream come true anyone can. Now I just need to learn how to revisit that dream and make it happen once again.
ReplyDeleteNot losing sight of your dream is the key factor in succeeding!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Thursday, Debby.

When I lived in Australia and was so extremely lonely, I purchased a coffee mug that said "Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself". I would tell myself to keep moving forward and finding positive moments in every day. I tried to create myself. We lived there for 3 years and it must have worked because the last 2 years were a lot better than the first.
ReplyDeleteKeep dreaming and put it on your vision board!
YES! Let's create the lives of our dreams! Life is too short not too :) xo
ReplyDeleteI wanna be that girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't dream, you will never accomplish
ReplyDeleteA wonderful Summer dream...soooo beautiful. I hope you realize every one of your dreams sweet girl. Hop over when you get a chance and enter my giveaway. You will really like it. Have a great weekend. Mona
ReplyDeleteIf Nantucket is where you want to be, then go! I'm a big fan of jumping and then figuring out the details. God willing, so far it has always worked out for me....say a little prayer, jump and everything will be ok! :)
ReplyDeleteToo many people spend their lives putting things off until tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes. Whether its waiting to have kids until the perfect time, changing careers, moving, et al...just do it. Life's too darn short. If it doesn't work out then you move back, but at least you won't wake up when your 90 with regret. And for the record, I'd be happy to house/rental shop with you! I've never been to Nantucket so consider this a charity tour guide..hehehe!
Yes, am definitely joining you in creating the life I want to live! I will repeat that mantra every day - multiple times!
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog a few months back and save your weekly posts for Sunday mornings. Great way to start my day! Thank you!
I am SO with you on this journey!!! I think we all suffer setbacks in life and it is only with courage and determination that we move through them into a happier place.
ReplyDeleteMy latest mantra is: "I'm thankful, I'm grateful and I'm mindful of the blessings in my life"....b/c I had noticed that I was focusing on the things I wasn't as thrilled with. But, I noticed that where you spend your energy and even what you think about is exactly what you attract in life. So, here's to attracting the life of our dreams!
xoxo Elizabeth
It will happen, Debby! If you want it badly enough, it will happen.
