Jeanne,

What a fantastic post. Thanks for the link.

I've never thought it was too late, but that doesn't mean I've never been discouraged about my dreams.

Hi, Dianna!

That post is great for anyone who needs a little encouragement and inspiration, as well as a gentle reminder that our dreams really are achievable as long as we believe in them and determine to do something to make them happen. So glad you liked it! Felt I just had to share it, because it really touched me.

Glad you stopped by, because I just received a link to a wonderful series on self-publishing from Aggie Villanueva, a fantastic writer/blogger/photographer that I've had the good fortune to connect with online, and I was planning to pass it along to you for whatever you might be able to glean from it. I know you're already self-published and have other publishing goals, but I have a feeling this series will provide some information you can use, so wanted to pass it along.

Aggie writes the Visual Arts Junction blog, and the series is called A Self-Publishing Journey. It contains 14 posts, some written by Aggie and some by others. Hope you'll find it helpful.

Thanks for stopping by!
Jeanne

Certainly is important to know that it's not too late, nor the fact that it's not impossible. Although I must confession at times I do feel there is just no hope in any of my dreams ever coming true as I age year by year, but I do get my motivation drives (And thanks to you I just got one today!) and keep going.

Thanks for sharing!

Happy to help keep you motivated, Amy!

It certainly is important to be reminded every now and then that it isn't too late and it isn't impossible for us to realize our dreams. Especially because it's so easy to fall into the "impossible" mindset (and we all do sometimes), it's always nice to have a little reminder once in a while. That's one reason I thought it so important to share George's post.

Thanks for stopping by! Great to see you!

Jeanne
