Time For Today


TIME FOR TODAY



One day...
I'm going to climb Mt.Everest.
I'm going to join a gym.
I'm going to write a novel.

One day...
Cheryl Hart, a fellow author, who also happens to be my sister, sent me an article from an advice columnist. 


A woman asked if it was too late to follow her dream of becoming a nurse. By the time she went back to school to get a degree,  four years would pass and she'd be 42 years old.

The answer: How old will you be in four years if you don't pursue your dream?

At the end of the article, my sister wrote in big block letters:
NO MORE ONE DAY
IT’S TIME FOR TODAY

Yeah, C.E. Hart is clever with words. J

Jewels of Ramstone, my full-length novel, as well as five novellas, became reality. All this because I took my sister’s words to Hart.  (Clever genes run in our family.)  

What one day is waiting for you?
Do it today.

  1. Time moves regardless. You can seek your dream or not but time stands still for no one. Great post!

  3. God, my bucket list is getting way too long. I think the biggest two for me are learning a foriegn language (I can't decide between french or italian)and traveling to Europe (England, France and Italy). I've been putting those off for too long.
