Send to KindleI am living my dream.
For as long as I can remember, my dream consisted of Words.
Collecting them.
Reading them.
Writing them.
Speaking them.
And why, yes, even selling them.
I dreamt of owning my own book store.
I dreamt of having countless books to read.
I dreamt of speaking before large audiences.
I dreamt of writing and publishing my words.
I don’t own the books shop. But all the other dreams around Words have come true.
Words have come to be a part of my reality today.
I am living my dream.
Today I’m a proud host of BlogFEST 2012 . Here’s what I’d like you to blog about: ARE YOU LIVING YOUR DREAM?

About Corinne Rodrigues
I write because I hope that my words will bring pleasure, inspire or make you question something, just as the words of so many writers do to me. I don't profess to have any answers, I just share from my own experiences and often bring you my own struggles with thoughts, ideas and situations. Today I seek to live life of that is simple, authentic and holistic. I write at Everyday Gyaan and share a blog called From 7Eight with my husband, José and our boxer dog, Pablo.

Aren’t we the lucky ones, Linda?
Acknowledging that as a dream took a long time for me…it didn’t fit into what I had been taught went in the dream box. Outside the lines. But I love it. And I agree with Linda…always more fun with friends!

Well written Corinne!
You sure have a hidden poet under you it seems, and of course the writer who is busy weaving awesome posts every single day!
I wish we all could really live our dreams and enjoy doing what we are doing. That I feel is the most important – isn’t it? To enjoy what you do and do it to the best of your ability. That’s what I believe in.
Thanks for sharing, and hope you live your dream right through.

Loved the whole approach you took for today’s prompt and you really got me thinking again about my dream.
As Harleena said above, your poetic skills shine through this post. Well done!

Lovely post Corinne. I am glad you are living your dream. The one where you write books is also going to come true soon.
Good luck

What a happy place we have found when we are living our dream! With you, Corinne, I share deeply the love for books and for the written word. Can’t get enough of both!
Beautiful post, my friend!
Blessings!

Oh, I wish you WOULd open that book store. I’m a real believer that as ebooks take off, independent bookstores are actually going to make a comeback as there are still those like me who prefer a real page to turn.
Sandra Tyler recently posted..BlogFest 2012: Living your dream
This is wonderful! It’s not every day one has their dream come true. Keep on dreaming about that bookstore.
I think anyone can make their dreams come true, realistic dreams, as long as they work hard to achieve them.

I looooooooooove that you are living your dream, Corrine.
That your dream consists of WORDS….
Collecting them.
Reading them.
Writing them.
Speaking them.
This is my dream, too. Xx
btw, I’ve had a name for my coffee shop for many yearts: “”" Lit & Latte!!”"”
Who knows Corinne, even the bookstore may still materialize. So glad words have been a blessing for you. And with them ylou bless others.

Oh gosh, Corinne. I have so many dreams. I’m certain I’m living one or two of them. Occasionally, I find I’m living a nightmare, too! LOL! Nice, succinct job sharing your thoughts, Corrine. I look forward to taking on this topic. Hopefully it’ll be a cream to write.
Daphne Steinberg recently posted..??? in Charge
Yoink! That last sentence should say, “Hopefully it’ll be a DREAM to write.” Amazing how one letter can change the entire meaning of what you’re trying to say, eh? Cheers!

Janet recently posted..Lessons from <BR>the Trenches: <BR>Living the Dream<BR> In the Slums
And you are doing a fab job if I may add! Loved this post and the prompt…………….thank you….and much love!
Vow Corinne ! I am happy for you ! beautifully written ! u are making a difference ! thanks !
I love my current life, but it’s not my dream (I have a lot to go in life, I guess that’s how it is, especially since I am just starting with my life).
I am thankful to God for my current life (but I am not very happy about it, since I know that there are lot of people out there who can’t afford basic necessities such as food or shelter and I know I can do a lot to change those situation – to help people. That’s my dream
).
Thanks for the inspirational and thoughtful post, Corinne
Living the dream! Like that title … am I? Let’s see … I need to think harder!
