Not much impresses me more than someone who chases after their dreams with every stitch of energy they have. You don't even have to succeed, but if you let nothing keep you from attempting to catch it, you have my attention and my respect.Kathryn McCormick, a friend's girlfriend, is now on So You Think You Can Dance. She moved to LA to chase her dream hoping she could somehow make it as a dancer, and now she has. I twirled with friends in high school who are now Auburn University Majorettes. I even competed with a girl in Alabama's Junior Miss four years ago who just caught her dream of being Miss Alabama.
I've had lots of dreams in my lifetime: live in Nashville, dance on Broadway, write books, kayak down the Jordan River, run a marathon, backpack through Europe, play a college sport, be a camp staffer...
I am far from completing all of them, and some of them have transformed into new ambitions. Sometimes "catching" those dreams is not at all what I thought it would be when I first aimed at the goal. I now live in Nashville and work in this beautiful downtown as a "camp staffer" all year. I may not dance on Broadway, but I take a dance class or two each week that I love.
I never want to be without dreams to chase. What are you chasing?
