My friends, is there something you have always wanted to do, but have never had the courage to begin? Im not meaning like a lifetime bucket list kind of thing...though that can be wonderful too! When you have had the subject of what do you want to do with your life? come up, in conversation or elsewhere, does something come to mind? Perhaps an image or thought, or a dream that feels as far away as a half-forgotten memory? Something maybe youve always wished you could do, but never believed it was possible? I ask, because...well, the PB Project was the beginning of a realization of a dream of mine, that until it began, Id never believed was possible! Not that I grew up dreaming of a Page on Facebook - lets just say, FB wasnt likely a dream to the creators yet, because I think theyre a bit younger than I... ahem - but I dreamed of influencing lives for good. Ive done it in individual ways, here and there; it wasnt until I learned what a passion is, how it looks, feels, and what it does, that I realized my passion lies in helping others to achieve what they dare not believe could become real! That isnt intended as a pat on my own back, but it is to show you that if you have a yearning that nips at you when you think about this sort of thing, maybe its your heart trying to tell you the direction you need to go to find your joy! Believe me, I had no idea that my lifes challenges would amount to giving me the courage (sometimes desperation) to take a step toward doing something that could make my experience not a waste of a life. I just needed to patiently keep looking for the door to open a crack, so I could take the first, real step...though that was mostly just my trying to be prepared for when it happened! My friends, I love you, and I believe in you. If I can help you in some way, to dare to take that first, timid step, Im happy to try. Looking back, Im pretty sure that if Id had someone who believed in me, sooner, I probably would have been on this journey long before now! But who knows....perhaps it needed to be this way, at this time? Either way, I am grateful to be here, now, and to have you here, with me!
