Deep, Not Wide

Allume 2014-0730(1) final

I made a mistake last year.

Well, to be fair, I make them every day. šŸ˜‰

But this oneā€¦it was the kind that grated on me for a year. I just couldnā€™t get it out of my head. And I knew things needed to be different, but I couldnā€™t quite put my finger on what I had done wrong. And, really, it took twelve months to process.

But this morning, as I sit down with my coffee and pour my heart out to you, Iā€™m starting to see.

And, ohā€¦it feels good to finally see.

So one of my dreams has been, for a long time, to ā€œmake itā€ in the blogging worldā€¦to become the next big blogger, whatever that looks like.

And what that DOES look likeā€¦well, I still havenā€™t quite figured that out. For a long time, I had it in my head that it meant tons of followers, comments, a platform the width of the world, lots of recognition. And, of course, a book deal to follow.

In reality it sounds like a lovely, perfectly-ordered dream, doesnā€™t it?

And there was a timeā€¦a span of about a yearā€¦when I chased that dream hard.

Too. Hard.

Today I’m over at God-sized Dreams telling a heart-story, one that’s tough to share with the world. Will you join me there?
