Gleanings From Living Long
Sometimes in our lives we have dreams that aren't going to come true.
These dreams sustain us and inspire us for years,
until one day we wake up and know it is a dream,
and just a dream.
Maybe next lifetime we'll get the skill set needed to realize our unmet dreams,
or we'll dream new dreams for our new life.
Who knows?
Either way, keep dreaming!

I always dreamed I'd be a filmmaker…

I don’t think you should ever give up on your dreams! Sometimes we have to change our expectations or get rid
of an expectation. Or redefine what the dream means to us. But if your intent is to be a filmmaker, then you are
a filmmaker even if you are just using your phone, or camera for the video. How we choose to define a word for ourselves
is different that what an industry or group defines it as. So there are really two things going on. If you want to be a
filmmaker, then go ahead and be one. Don’t get caught up in expectations. Decide what filmmaking means for you and
what you want to say with your films.
The advent of phones and point and shoot cameras has made “photographers” of us all. We don’t all have what I guess
is considered the “eye” or a gift for photographs that are published in magazines or books. But if we enjoy taking pictures
then doesn’t that make us photographers on some level. I think as long as we don’t let our ego get inflated and grandiose,
we all share artistry on some level.

Well Said, Paula! I suppose my blog is my medium for telling stories. So, yes, not exactly as I had pictured it, but still a story teller with pictures!! And we should not give up on our dreams, that is the truth.
Peace and Love,
