<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If there is one thing I have learned in my short time as a mama its that the little small things that I do throughout the day with my two little ones leave the biggest imprint in my mind and in theirs.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once upon a time there was a girl who had big dreams of
following her dreams but day after day she was too afraid to even begin down
the road of accomplishing any of them. She made excuses to herself and those
who loved her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The days kept slipping by and before she knew it the days
became months and then years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not that her life was bad, she was a very very blessed girl,
with two healthy lovely little girls, a loving supportive husband and best
friend. She was just missing the passions in life that she knew needed to be
pursued.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> One day she woke up and realized that nothing was ever going to happen
if she didn't try, that she would never know if she would fail or succeed. That
it did not matter if others hated what she did because she would have to be
happier following her dreams of creating and writing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So she took her first
step into fulfilling those dreams and she was happier than she had been in a
long long time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is my beginning, my first step to fulfilling my dreams.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Well the first one in a really long time.<br />
Oh man how I have missed this.<br />
This feels good.<br />
This feels right.<br />
Lets see where this goes, shall we....<br />
