Do you have a particular space or environment that you like to write or read in?  I have always dreamed of having a writing desk in a comfortable quiet room or nook that has a window that overlooks a garden or some other amazing view.  A place for me to get lost in my own little world.  A place that I can gaze out at and find inspiration or just get lost in my thoughts.

My reality is that I write wherever I can.  It usually ends up being in bed with the dogs curled up on top of me, barely giving me any space to work.  I have also sat in my husband’s comfy recliner after the rest of the house has gone to bed and in a noisy waiting room as my husband had simple medical procedures completed.  For me, the important thing right now is that I am finding the time to write.  Having a full time job while also going to college and having a family presents its challenges in finding the time to effectively write.

Do not allow not having your perfect setting or situation stop you from reaching for your dreams.  Life is not always perfect, we have to be willing to compromise.  While you should not have to compromise reaching for a goal that is realistic and obtainable, I absolutely promise you that you will have to compromise on the path you take to obtaining it.

Life is full of roadblocks.  They can be figurative ones we create in our own heads or literal ones that we have to face on our journey, the important thing is that we find away around the hurdle to continue toward our goals.
