Once I dreamt
In many dreams,
With wide open eyes
That it was you who
Could really see me
Though time and reality
Left me and my dreams
Far behind and alone
Many thoughts and prayers
Since that time or place
Still at moments I do profess
The lingering magic of the
Possibility I might have seen truth
Tugs at my memory from the
Corners of my heart where it now resides

Day 10: Money, Money, Money, Money....
July 10: What you'd do if you won the lottery
WHOOOOO HOOOO
That is what I would do first. But my answer kind of depends on how big of a lottery I won. I am going to assume I won the biggest one ever b/c I mean...if you are going to win one, why not that one? :)
First....pay off all my bills/debts
Second....pay off all my parents bills/debts
Third....depending on the amount establish particular amounts to give to family members/friends
Fourth....quit my job and travel. A LOT. All over the world. This part might take awhile.
Fifth....start a charity.
So...this is actually one of the things I like to daydream about when I have insomnia sometimes so I have given it quite a bit of thought. I would start a charity to help feed children. But this charity would be based on music. I would use music/musicians to raise the money. I think it would be amazing to do huge benefit concerts on a regular basis that would particularly raise money for this purpose. Maybe not a totally new idea but I don't know of anyone that does it on a regular basis. There are so many talented people with so much to offer. I think it is feasible. I would love to try!!
Also I would give money to the church, to education, to other charities etc.
I would probably own a home in at least a few different places...but not just to be excessive, because I think I would need to be moving around to keep working on my charity venture.
I would TOTALLY own my own airplane.
I would NOT start wearing designer clothing or jewelry except on special occasions. I would chose particular indulgences (see picture above) but particularly not become an indulgent person. I would try to give my money to things that are more important.
I would also enjoy it!
So....P.S. my friend Amanda has been doing this blog challenge as well. Check out her responses and her blog HERE

Student at Heart
So apparently I don't work well without deadlines...or assignments. When I was doing the book challenge I posted daily and LOVED doing it. Now that I have the freedom to write about whatever I want, whenever I want, yeah I haven't been doing it at all. I guess I work better with a little direction. I think it is the student in me. I was one of "those" students (my whole life) who LOVED mapping out when to do each assignment and who NEVER turned things in late. My whole college career I would get so mad b/c all my fellow religion majors would just not do their work and just turn it in later. They didn't get why this angered me, why don't you turn it in late too, they would ask. What??!! There is a DUE DATE people, you have to DO it by that DATE! It is just the way things work...apparently I still think in these terms!
I also still think about becoming a student. Again. I already have 3 degrees. I really don't need more. Still, I am always thinking about it. I would really love to do a PhD. That has always been a dream. Not because I want a better (or even different) job, not because I feel my education is lacking, but just because I want to do it. I always assumed I would get one in theology, but these days that seems kind of narcissistic. Is that the right word? I am not sure. I wouldn't be using it for anything...it would just be something I want to do, for myself. I don't regret my first two degrees or anything I have learned in theology, but to get ANOTHER one...might be taking it too far. What I think would be incredible would be to find a program that has a doctorate in Children's Literature. It would have relevance to my job, and it would be AWESOME. I think it would push me to write more as well.
Truthfully, though, I can't do that. Not right now anyway. My life is VERY full and busy. I really want to start giving more attention to my Premier Business, and to myself. I have been dieting and trying to find exercises that will work with my limitations. I am learning to cook and trying to write more often. I have too many sticks in the pot....wait that is not right, I can't remember the saying but...the gist is I don't have time. It is still a dream though...always in the back of my mind.
