About This Page: (This is Main Street by Angie, who is working on art goals here on the blog!)
This has been a personal project to blog every day for a school year on goals and dreams. My hope was that I could find a group of people to work with me.
I was lucky enough to find a small, but sincere group of inspirational people to keep me company. We've been using Walt Disney's philosophies or creations as inspiration.
I am no longer blogging daily, but I am notified if comments are posted, and I'll be happy to keep the discussion going!

I want to revisit an earlier topic
Blank sheet of paper.
One of my favorite books ends with what first appears to be a blank page. There is a shadowy image of Mickey Mouse with his wizard hat and wand. The top of the page bears the following text:
"There are two ways to look at this blank sheet of paper. You can look at it as the last page of a book, or as the greatest opportunity in the world because nobody's put anything on it. That's the way we look at it, at Imagineering. Go ahead and use it to dream, create new things and let your imagination go.
Why not? Everything begins somewhere..."
What would you fill your blank sheet of paper with? Would you draw, write, or do something else?
Walt Disney Imagineering-A behind the Dreams Look at Making the Magic Real by the Imagineers-published by Hyperion in 1996.
This was something I posted back in November. Since then, SO MUCH has happened, and there have been so many blank sheets of paper.
There have been presentations, projects started, projects finished, goals started and goals finished.
Back when I wrote that, I was only a third of the way through my goal to blog every day for a school year, and NOW I am half way there!
Every time there is a blank blog box, though, I get a different feeling. Sometimes I come to the blank blog box without a whole lot of inspiration. Sometimes I come to the blank blog box with several ideas that I can hardly sort out.
At one point, I thought that I might write up a few entries in a word document and just cut and paste them in each day. I decided against that, though, because that is REALLY not blogging every day.
I think blogging every day is teaching me things about myself because there is a natural rhythm or timing that I was not entirely aware of.
For example, I blog differently at different times of the day. In the morning, I tend to be thinking forward, while at night I tend to be reflecting back.
I also have cycles that follow a clock of days or weeks. I kind-of pick up speed, go full force, then wind down for a rest before picking up speed again.
Blogging every day while trying to keep somewhat focused on goals, dreams, motivation or growth is revealing a seasonal or tidal quality to the way my life flows.
I have not quite figured out what to do with this information, but that is where my head is today, so THERE it is, filling the blank blog box.
Have you seen a seasonal or tidal quality to the way you pursue those things you want?

One thing I started to think about how people live their life. It almost like a book is being written, there will be a lot of chapters as you life changes. Today my grandmother is on her last chapter as she sleep in her resting home with family around saying good bye. Soon the book will be close
. But she was able to make a lot of books through us as we all have things being written in our own book
. Yes a pages does not only have to be made out of wood or other materials, but made from our heart that when you see the best written books
