Rather than leaving the blog silent today, I’ll just be honest…

I don’t really know what to say.

My mind is a crazy jumble of to-do lists, inspiration boards, emails that need answering, planning that needs to be done, a dull headache… and hope.

I feel like I haven’t just entered 2014 head first… I’ve kinda cannon-balled into it.

Do you ever feel that way? That instead of just walking out, you just flew right out without an ounce of real planning or fear?

I will say, it’s a little exhausting! When I started DSE 4 months ago I had a lot of hope, a lot of fear & big, big dream. And, I’ll tell you, I never expected everything amazing that’s been happening. And as I sit here surrounded by to-lists, a full inbox, my SP that needs filling out & my 2014 blog calendar that needs to be done… life is FULL of hope. Hope that dreams DO come true; hope that life CAN happen for those that MAKE it happen; hope in dreams, in love, in enough faith to beat the odds… and, although it may be exhausting, it’s a whole lotta fun:)

BE ENCOURAGED, sweet friends. Have HOPE in your dreams… in all those 2014 goals you just made for yourself. Don’t let them die by March… press on, hope on…DSE is the PERFECT example of hoping, wishing, wanting… no dream is too big, no goal unreachable. I promise:)

So, enjoy this Friday… Go out and have HOPE & dream BIG!!! And, even if you have a mile-high-to-do list (hello, kat!), don’t forget to take a deep breath & smile at all the amazingness around you. Sending you a fist-bump & a big, virtual hug!!!

xo! kat
