On this historic day, where I can’t seem to find words to express the wonder I feel, I wanted to ask you:
What dream do you have for yourself that you consider impossible?
Maybe you should reconsider. Do it with me by adding your comment.

As a 31 year old who has my BFA for NYU in musical theater, I hate to admit that getting to perform on Broadway is something I consider an impossible dream – even though there were fellow NYU classmates of mine who have previously & are currently starring on Broadway & television. I wish I can say, "But if I just try harder, or longer, or do XYZ then it will happen!" but I don't believe myself in saying that. I also can't say that it's not what I want (because that would be a lie!), but I can say I'm not willing to do anything than wait for it to get handed to me. I don't want to "work" at this dream anymore, & that I can be at peace with. I love my life, I love my budding coaching career, & I love performing when I want & how I want for no reason other than my passion for being a musical theater comedianne.

Great question! I think my impossible dream is similar to yours–I'm not going to be a famous actress or rock star, because I'm not willing to work that hard at either venture. My priorities have shifted and I am beginning to see the good in doing things solely for their enjoyment. I *am* willing to work hard at being a great wife and mother, and at being a kick-ass writer. But there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything, so whatever isn't crucial has to go!

Emma, you're preaching to the choir! I've been reading a great book about people like us called "The Renaissance Soul" – highly recommended (http://is.gd/gByw). I'll hopefully be able to do a book review on it sometime this month, so watch my tweets…..
Also, I've been learning a LOT about time management recently & created a great tool for managing your time. I'll post about that this week or next!

I want to wake up every day and WANT to work. I want to LOVE what I do. And I want to be pregnant. Impossible? NEVER!!!

Holly, I miss you! And yes, with your go-get-'em attitude I know that nothing is impossible for you!
