In a few short months, a book will be published that will bear my name as editor/author. I have always wanted to create something in writing that would last beyond my lifetime, and hopefully carry with it words that would inspire others to live beyond the status quo. It seems that this specific dream will come true before the year ends.
But it is rather funny, because what I thought would be something transcendental has merely required small increments of fortitude. I don't necessarily feel any more or less of a person than I did before the work was completed. Yet, a dream has been accomplished.
What are dreams anyway? Are they something that starts as a tiny seed within our souls, and given enough sunlight and water, sprout into something tangible? Where do they come from? And how long will they remain left unattended?
I am working with a group of individuals who once had a dream to become a teacher, and now, after many years of meandering through life, have returned to that initial place. Their dream remained dormant; yet, it remained...and gnawed at their hearts until they had to give in and obey the calling.
Writing for me is like that. I have an idea and it remains for a period of time within me, until some point where it must come forth.
I am falling in love with blogs because there is no one to correct my formatting or my grammar or spelling...only my thoughts and my dreams, and that is enough.

Good for you, Dr. H. Dreams sometimes are so imbedded in our hearts that we only feel their coming true a little at a time. :)
Congratulations Dr. Hebert. Please let us know the name of the book, and where we can get our copy!
Good for you!
And not that you need the approval of a 25 year old English teacher, but just from the blog, I can tell you're a great writer!
Congratulations!! Now it's own to your next dream :)Because afterall a "dream is a wish your heart makes" AND "dreams do come true"!
A dream is why I am still in college. A person without a dream is a thin shell of a person. Dr. Hebert, keep dreaming! Make sure to send us the name of it and where to buy it!!
Congratulations! I can't wait to read it.
Congratulations indeed! Let us know the title so we can check it out when it's released to the public.
Congrats on the book and I can't wait to read it. I have enjoyed reading your blogs and pondering the questions and topics that you pose.
