The first quarter of 2013 wasn’t exactly as triumphant as
I had hoped it would be so I’m looking forward to being thirty and focusing on
Dreams. Not just mine but everyone else’s. I feel like I’m going to be awesome
eventually but I want everybody to be their awesome selves as well! In fact, I
am happier when the people I care about are happy also. I’m inspired when I
hear about their dreams and the actions their taking to achieve them.
(Coincidentally, Mariah Carey has a new fragrance called
Dreams so it’s very fitting.)
The past few months haven’t been a total dud though. Being a bookseller continues to be something I love doing.
I was in a writers’ group- even though it was short lived. As the chair for the
Friends of the Library’s Marketing and Membership committee, I helped organize
a fundraising event. I’ve been walking consistently as part of my exercise
routine.
I’ve been having festive birthday moments with family and
friends. Whether it’s being treated to a Josh Groban theater concert or a play
at Portland Center Stage, a library hop road trip, a surprise party, a weeklong
Vegas vacation involving buffets, bowling and books, and multiple other things,
it’s all been a blast. You may be wondering how I’m able to talk so much about
my birthday considering I’d already about it on my other two blogs. But I love
birthdays- especially my own. It’s usually these moments I feel the happiest
and most celebratory and therefore inspired.
I’m looking forward to a Triumphant 30’s and realizing my
Dreams.
