If you know me you know that live off of dark chocolate and especially Dove Dark Chocolates. And in each tiny chocolate, as you unwrap the wrapper, inside is a small message and today it particularly caught my attention. Also if you know me, dreams are incredibly imporatnt to me and I believe that dreams shape who we become and show us our true selves. So when I saw on that wrapper today: Make a list of your dreams, I realized that I really needed to do that. That my dreams will only become real if I realize them and make them real. So here it is: my list of dreams.
1. Live in Paris for a year
2. Marry a man I love with no reservation (I have an idea of who)
3. Get married in a small, intimate ceremony in simple vintage, antigue dress with the aisle covered in white rose petals
4. Travel after I get married
5. adopt a dog and name it "Paris"
6. have a townhouse/apartment on a riverfront in some city (doesn't have to be Portland)
7. find exaclty my faith (something I'm strugglingg with right now)
8. write a book and publish it
9. be taken up in a hot air balloon over Paris
10. stand in the rain and think of nothing else at all, just take in the magic of it all
12. to witness a miracle
13. to look back on all my years and smile rather than keep regret
14. to have a beautiful house someday with a desk overlooking some sort of beautiful scene where I can sit and write anytime I want
15. to write something that means something true to someone
16. that my writing changes someone's life
17. to finally buy my Audi TT convertible
18. to have a small cottage at the beach that I can escape to when I need some time away
19. Keep my relationship with my aunt: she is so important to me even though she needs a little help sometimes
20. Watch my brother grow up
21. to keep dreaming
22. to meet Kobe Bryant
23. Sit at a cafe in Paris with my husband and just smile at him over a cup of coffee
24. to see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night and be kissed in the moonlight
25. to live happily ever after for the rest of my life with the boy I fell in love with at 18

Your list of dreams and goals are great! I beleive full heartedly that you will accomplish these within your lifetime. Its one thing to have dreams, but it is completely different if you accomplish them all together. Everytime you accomplish one you become something more in life. For one who has gone through so much, all I got to say is kiddo, your defiantly on the right track no matter what might occur in your life. I hope and beleive through the years we can always stay in touch. Our friendship does mean something to me. See ya later! Josh Kosmatka
