Have you ever had that restless feeling deep inside of you… like there is more that you are supposed to be doing?  Something keeps calling to you.  Like a finger periodically tapping you on the shoulder as if to say, “Excuse me.  Aren’t you forgetting something? Aren’t you supposed to be doing something more?” 

I have this feeling a lot.  No matter how much time has passed, I know that eventually that finger will tap me on the shoulder.  It is my inner voice holding me on course.  Reminding me that no matter how busy life gets, it is there keeping safe watch over my deepest dreams and longings.  

Don’t get me wrong.  I love my life as it is right now.  I have an amazing husband and two extraordinary little boys.  I am surrounded by loving family and friends and am blessed to have a job that I enjoy going to everyday.  Yet, I know that there is more that I want to do….that I am destined to do. 

I will share with you the object of my desire.  I want to write a book.  Correction….I AM writing a book.  I started it about 10 years ago and have managed to complete one chapter.  Granted, during the past 10 years, there was a period of about 5 or 6 years that I didn’t do a thing with the book.  More recently, I took out the old outline and completely re-did it….totally changed the time period and scope of the story.  I could feel the excitement coursing through me as I re-wrote and re-envisioned the storyline. 

The need to write this is deep.  It is something I simply feel I must do.  My ultimate goal isn’t even to get it published…I just want to write it and enjoy the process.  I know that I will accomplish this goal, because I refuse to allow myself to regret it for the rest of my life.  There is no fear of failure because I am not looking for outside validation or approval.  Simply completing it to the best of my ability will be my reward.

Do you have something tapping you on your shoulder?  This nagging feeling or voice within you reminding you of a dream you may have forgotten you even had?  Thank your inner voice for providing safe keeping of your desire….and now go out and see that dream fulfilled!
