Settin' goals, and makin' plans!

I've thought long and hard over the last year about what I really want to do with the rest of my life. Kids are out of the question. I can't have em'. Which is really for the best, considering I believe some people are meant to be Momma's, and some aren't. I'm not. I make a fabulous "Aunt Jo"! But I was never meant to be a Momma. I don't know that I'll ever get married. Or really even want to for that matter. With the marriage success rate declining day by day, it just doesn't seem too appealing. So, with that said, I'm thinking that it's best that I focus on me, my life, and how I want to pursue my dreams.

I love to sing. I've been singing since I was a little girl. I'm pretty good. Not necessarily "The Voice" material, but I can hang. Although, I came to terms with the fact a long time ago that I was never gonna be a "Female Vocalist of the Year" winner. So, the only thing left to do, is pursue what has become the second greatest love of my life. Writing. I started this blog last Summer. And since then, it has given me so much joy, connected me with so many different Country artists, and really driven me to see what I'm capable of.

So I've set a goal. I am 28 years old. By my 33rd birthday, which is a little less than 5 full years from now, I want to be in Nashville. My dream is to go to Nashville and write or produce for CMT, GAC, Country Weekly, Music Row.com, Nashvile Gab.com, or People Country. My ABSOLUTE dream job would be to work with or for Cody Alan! I've listened to and watched him for years. He's an incredible talent and I'm in such awe of him. -- I never really thought of myself as a writer. I always knew that I could bring my Sister (who NEVER cries) to tears with a hand-written card. But I never thought that it was something I would not only love & enjoy, but be good at. Turns out, I'm not half bad. And my absolute dream would be to live & work in the Country Music capitol of the world!

I've never believed that any goal or dream was unrealistic. If you work hard enough, you can achieve ANYTHING. Okay, so that sounds a little corny. But it's 100% true. So that's the deal. Five years from today, I hope to be writing this from my desk... in Nashville, Tennessee.
