I have a song and a book I want to share today for a little inspiration. The song is about musicians, but I think the main point applies to writers, too. "Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart." I love that line. Because we all go through rejection and heart break in this business, but it's those who keep on dreaming, (and working their butts off), that end up succeeding.
(I am not going to admit how long it took me to figure out how to get a video on here, but I'm happy I finally got it!)
The book is a fun picture book with a lovely message.
It's about a little pup who is so happy one day he starts to float, and flies to school. Of course, when he tells his friends no one believes him. When they ask him to prove it he can't, he's lost his happy feeling. In the end, after a talk with his father, he finds it again. The last lines are: "Do dogs fly? Is it true? Some dogs don't, but some dogs do."
For some reason it totally gets to me. I love teaching kids that they can do anything if they really believe they can. If you have little kids I highly recommend this book!
Have fun weekend everyone and keep dreaming big dreams! :)
Look at all the guitars on the wall... Heaven!
ReplyDeleteI forgot you play guitar. That's so cool. :)
DeleteI love that song. And that line! So true. So true.
ReplyDeleteGood advice. Even though I know that I still like to hear it again. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this song! Of course living in Music City means I hear it a lot...but I still love it :)
ReplyDeleteThis book is so cute! I tell my girls all the time, they can do anything they put their mind to. Although, I wish I would listen to my own advice.
ReplyDeleteGreat lyrics in that song!
great encouragement. :)
ReplyDeletegreat inspirations, and you getting the video on (hope right there) ;)
ReplyDeleteI blogged about this song a while back, too! It is absolutely one of my favorites. I love what it says about dreams!!
ReplyDeleteOh that's funny! I wonder how I missed that.
DeleteSuch a sweet post. Totally agree.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to post. I have the toughest time with pictures...I'd rather write an extra hundred words than post pictures!
ReplyDeleteDon't think I've heard this song before. Luckily I'm too stubborn to have my heart broken :-)
