I don't think I can count how many times I have tried to start a blog and failed. I am not one who likes to talk about the weather, nor do I share deep things with everyone. However, I have aspirations and dreams and through this blog, I hope to maybe inspire others to follow there own dreams. Living wide awake came from the book "Wide Awake" by Erwin McManus. He writes about living your dreams wide awake. So many people have dreams, but so many are still sleeping and only wishing for those things to come true. We are called to live them!
I am currently a 22 year old student/part-time nanny with a dream to become a working actress/singer. Ever since I was between the ages of 5 and 7 I have had this dream. It all started with the film "Big Business" were my first inspiration came from Bette Midler. For a while I had the mindset that everyone wanted to become a famous actress and singer. Which, I later found out was not true. People want to be famous, not actors. What opened my eyes was one day at Barnes and Nobles this year. I read a quote that asked "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" Immediately "become an actress" was my first thought. Now, I am reading as many books on moving to LA and acting techniques, as well as taking improv and scene study classes. I soon plan on moving to LA. When, is entirely up to God.
This is my journey and I hope it to be a testimony of faith and inspiration to many.
living wide awake,
Nikki
