What if...

  • What if the chicken didn't cross the road?
  • If an orange is orange, why isn't a lime called a green or a lemon called a yellow?
  • If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?
  • Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
  • What if my child eats dog food?
    1. hey it was a real question...i turned out ok...mostly :-P
  • What if life is...PRE-school for people and their eternities?
  • If everyone was listening....what would you say?
  • What if there were an actual money tree?
  • If I tred harder & did more, will God love me more?
  • What if I were selfless rather than selfish?
  • What if.....what if.......what....if....??
Life is full of random, simple, deep, important questions like these. (3# being my Favorite)


STOP. Take the time to think. About what? Your life.Your Dreams, do you have any? From personal experience, it's easy to forget how to dream; especially when the bustle of life drowns out the breath of fresh air. When the simple things become complicated, truth becomes deluted.
Time has to be forced to pause!


FORCE yourself to remember past dreams, examine present desires, and hope for future ones. Allow yourself to be lost in a Disney colored adventure. Cotten candy clouds, cinderella romance, & "supercalafragalisticexpialidocious" days...yes, aaahhh the bliss....the happy ever aft.....


*SMACK* There's that ugly thing they call reality. The baby needs a new diper, the kids are late for school, you forgot to do the laundry last night & now his shirt is STILL got that syripy stain on it. Your trying to tell your husband about your day but he's in his "nothing box", your family is upset again because your boyfriends house for Thanksgiving of theirs, & your friend would love to have that kind'of issue to deal with since 25 & holding....(and yes STILL single)...has somehow jumped to 29 and depressed.


How can to dreams & reality co-exist?!?! What if they could?


From one sister to another,....*in wisper tones*....uummm why do you think I called it "What if..still figuring it out myself :)


I'm not an expert....aaannnd I'm pretty sure I never will be, but a few secrets I've learned I'd like to expose.


  1. Don't be afraid of the "what if's"...fear will stop you dead in your tracks & keep your gridlocked
  2. Start with baby dreams--like getting 8 hours of sleep in ONE night (I hear the amens. LOL), then move one to slightly bigger ones
  3. Be grateful EACH step of the way. You're probably going stumble, grumble, & cry along the way, BUT that's all the more reason to CELEBRATE the small victories! Get your party hats on girls!
  4. Saying that, find you an accountability partner. You MUST have that type of communication & openness to keep you inline & ontrack & encouraged...give it back too! They're are priceless gifts.
  5. Don't ever loose hope!
    1. It's been said that humans can live about 3 weeks w/out food, about 4 days w/out water, 3-4 minutes w/out air, but you can't live ONE SECOND w/o HOPE.
These are a few simple things that have helped me on my journey. Take time to laugh & be with the people you love & that love YOU!


+ if you have any tips please feel free to fill me in! We need each other!
