I had two main dreams growing up, both of which seemed pretty unrealistic to the rest of the world.
- To have a house full of dogs
- To live in Mexico
Pretty random dreams for a kid but that was what I wanted and I was lucky enough to have parents that always told me to follow my dreams regardless of how absurd they may be. I think deep down, never in a million years did they think I would be able to pull them off.
As I sit here in my house, in Mexico surrounded by my 7 dogs, I can only say that you should always follow your dreams because one day they might come true!
“It is the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

Hehe my D is about Dreams tooo!
Hi Becca,
I am here from the A-Z challenge. You are one of my “neighbors” on the list. So I will be popping in frequently to have a read.
That is sooooo awesome that you are living 2 your dreams. One of my dreams is to become bilingual (Spanish). Throughout my years I have taken classes, read books, talked with Spanish speakers, etc in the attempt to become fluent. Who knows. Maybe one day I too will live in Mexico.
Thanks for the encouragment to go after my dreams.
Hey Susan. Thanks for stopping by! If you want to learn Spanish I would definitely recommend spending some time abroad if you can. I arrived here with absolutely no spanish at all and when you’re submerged in it 24/7 you’ll be surprised how quickly you actually pick it up! Good Luck!!!
That s so fantastic how you are able to live your childhood dreams!!!!
Congrats to you for living your dream! Were you able to have dogs growing up? And why Mexico?

Hi Tui,
I did have a dog growing up but as I grew up in an apartment in London it wasn’t really the ideal set up for pets. An why did I choose Mexico…. For a million reasons that my 14 year old self could probably tell you but I honestly couldn’t tell u one specific reason 🙂
It certainly pays to follow your dreams and never give up. Kudos to you!
It’s never easy but it pays off in the long run!
Now from one Becca to another (ok so I am a Becs) I wanted to just say I am enjoying your A to Z … and I have nominated you for an award http://talesfromtedium.wordpress.com/oh-i-have-an-award/ Becs x
I was a Becks until I came to México and now I’m a Becca or a Rebe?!?! Anyway thank you so much for the award, I can’t wait to start answering the questions!
you are very very welcome! I have been a Becky then Becca and most recently a Becs it is funny how we have one name but it changes as we do xx
Short and sweet and I LOVE IT. Moving to NYC was a dream come true that I never thought would actually happen. It’s a wonderful feeling!
Hey Ashlee, I’m so glad to hear that you got to follow your dream also. It’s the best feeling right? Thanks for stopping by,
