I did know (after years of soul searching) that I needed to have a job where I "make a difference". So, I sold what I didn't need, paid off all of my debt and started going to college (with the help of student loans. If all goes as planned, I will be an RN in 2013 and will finally be MAKING A DIFFERENCE. : )Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925344395599472325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-41109189580834240022011-05-23T05:41:34.838-07:002011-05-23T05:41:34.838-07:00THANK YOU. this is fantastic. it's all so help...THANK YOU. this is fantastic. it's all so helpful and great food for thought. i love the questions to ask ourselves, and the good things to remember about the current job, and what i do in my job now that helps me in other things.

I would LOVE to earn a living being creative; be it painting or writing...I tend to need to write more than my motivation to paint...so there is an answer. <br /><br />Sage, excellent advice...I feel I am working more toward a goal in writing with my poetry blog and the book I want to do on my Dad.Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07015770616281528620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-7670285437632786022011-05-22T15:04:49.054-07:002011-05-22T15:04:49.054-07:00I've reinvented myself so many times, I've...I've reinvented myself so many times, I've lost count. Linda, I have that unique person for you. I've always envied my sister/Silver Sisters Mysteries co-author. From the time she was a little kid about six years old, she knew she wanted to be an artist. People asked what she would do to make money, and she said, "be an artist." She majored in art and her minor was journalism. She worked for years as a graphics designer and exhibited her art in galleries. Now she still exhibits in galleries and writes books with me to boot. And, like the masses, I searched for years. Good advice in your post!<br /><br />MORGAN ST.

I have been working on that goal for the last five months and I am improving. I post my drawings. One lady at work called me the resident artist! I think I have found something fulfilling to do. I have high hopes.<br />Good post coach!raydenzel1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16212342091537737561noreply@blogger.com
