"You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling."

Hello there everyone! Sam here.

Hope all of you had a wonderful Memorial Day! Thanks to all the men and women -- past, present, and future -- who serve our country every day. No words can express my gratitude.

For this week's list I thought I'd talk about dreams, and I don't mean the kind you have while you're sleeping. I'm talking about the dreams and goals we all have for ourselves, whether they be work related, love related, or just life related in general. Each of us has an idea of how and where we want to be in the next five, ten, or even twenty years. So here is a list of all the current and future dreams and goals that I have for myself. Some I may reach within the next year and others I know will take a little longer, but as long as I keep them alive, there is always a chance that they can come true.

Sam's Current and Future Dreams and Goals

• Graduate from college and earn my degree
• Travel the world and at least visit one country in all of the continents once in my lifetime (except Antarctica, I may love the winter, but that's a little too much ice for me)
• Write and publish a novel; to have my words read by people all over the world
• To fall in love and get married someday
• To raise a family
• Change someone's life (for the better) with the written word
• To be more outgoing and spontaneous
• Be a successful author and do what I love for a living
• To someday take my mom on a trip to Scotland and Ireland

So there they are. I'm sure there are more I've forgotten, but for now this is where I'm at. Hope you all have a lovely week and never stop dreaming.

Love and Chaos,
Sam
