Chasing Dreams at Any Age (Because Why Not?)

My mother always wanted to write a book. She never got the chance to finish it, but I read her pages she started years ago. And let me tell you — she had something special brewing. A wonderful story, a spark of imagination, a voice that deserved to be heard. I wish she’d had the time, space, or maybe just the encouragement to keep going.

Maybe that’s why, as the years rolled on, a story started forming in my own head. It lived there rent‑free for a long time, popping up at inconvenient moments, whispering, “Hey… remember me?” But getting it out of my head and onto paper? That took time. Life, work, motherhood, chaos — you know the drill.

But anyone who knows me knows this: give me a project, and I’m off to the races. So once I finally sat down and started writing, I couldn’t stop. And now… it’s finished.

Is it a deep, literary‑masterpiece‑for-the-ages kind of book? No. It’s a fun, easy read — the love child of Netflix’s The Diplomat and a Hallmark movie. It starts with a dash of reality and then takes a delightful turn into fiction. It’s playful. It’s heartfelt. It’s mine.

And honestly? Even if only a handful of people read it — the ones who love me enough to devote a few hours to the words I poured onto the page — my heart is already full. Finishing it was the victory.

If you ever decide to give it a read, I hope it brings a smile to your face. I hope it feels like a warm mug of something cozy on a chilly day. I hope it reminds you that joy doesn’t have to be complicated.

But more than anything, I hope you’re out there chasing your own dreams, no matter your age, stage, or season. I’m doing it — finally — and it feels pretty incredible.

Here’s to late bloomers, second acts, and stories that refuse to stay quiet.
