Dream Big

I have never been what I think of as a 'dream big' person.  I have never been overly ambiguous or known what I want out of life and career.  Except for one thing.  Being a mom.  And making small sacrifices to be a stay at home mom.  This was a dream of mine from far back.  Not a day passes that I don't feel incredibly blessed to have my dreams realized.  Incredibly lucky that God blessed me with the perfect partner, with fertility, with three healthy, amazing children.  But since becoming a mother other passions have been discovered that I would never that dreamed of.  Photography.  Childbirth.  Newborns.  And now I find myself dreaming big.  I don't know if I will ever persevere, learn (oh so much to learn), grow, and develop into a professional photographer.  It seems so far beyond what I ever thought possible for myself (I am not creative, I am not a self starter, I am not driven).  Yet I feel very happy and excited to be dreaming big.  And all the while living my first and foremost important dream, motherhood.
