As some might have noticed, if you are following my Instagram page, I was in Walt Disney World this past week, and it was simply wonderful! Despite the miles one walks everyday, there truly is no other place quite as magical as Disney World. I always marvel at the brilliance of Walt Disney himself--how could one man create so much? What an imagination! If only I could exhibit such creativity, which I know is the goal of so many writers. One of my favorite quotes by Disney is: "If you can dream it, you can do it." So let us all set our goals a little higher this week, because like Disney, if we want something bad enough, we can achieve it. Anything worth having in life is worth working for...happy writing and reading!
