All this month, author Lisa Schroeder (I Heart You, You Haunt Me; Far From You) is having a Dream Big celebration over on her blog. Lisa has asked twenty-six fellow authors to write about what it means to Dream Big...so if you need some inspiration this January, don't miss what everyone has to say about their own personal journeys, setbacks, discoveries, and triumphs.Last night, I had the pleasure of hearing Lisa read from her brand-new novel, Chasing Brooklyn. Today, I have the honor of being her guest blogger. Check out what Dream Big means to me.

Good Blog!
To a very real extent the internet allows us to find information TOO easily. I read the quote lead-in to your Dream Big guest blog and immediately cut away to Wiki Clementine Paddleford. And then felt stoopid 'cuz you went on to tell me who she was. But I'd thought, "Oh no! Am I supposed to know who this person is?"
Anyway, thanks for writing, and thanks for dreaming big!
What a great inspirational post! And a fun history lesson to boot. :)
Walter, that's too funny :) Thanks for the comment...
...and thank you too, Lisa! Glad you enjoyed it.
That quote is simply amazing. I may have to tape it to my computer now too! And after hearing Clementine's history, I didn't take the quote as anti-dreaming, because she obviously has some pretty big dreams of her own to do what she did.
I took it to mean that a having a 'wishbone' was fine as long as it didn't replace your backbone.
Also, loved your post about the snow-- our 10 minute drive home from work took us 2.5 hours... one hour of it just to get from one side of the Burnside Bridge to the other!
Ann, that's how I take Clementine's quote, too--that sitting around dreaming won't get any of us anywhere!
An HOUR to cross the Burnside Bridge? YIKES. Kudos to you for making it! Me, I'm glad I was home.
