So here I am, reaching middle age and I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. First let me start off by saying that my life is blessed. I have a loving husband and three incredible kids... if I do say so myself! Sure my life has taken some unexpected twists and turns but not a whole lot that I can kick and scream about. I have worked in a variety of fields. Everything from a CNA at a nursing home, a very short stint running an in-home daycare (found out that I don't have as much patience with other people's kids...just being honest!) I have been a bartender, waitress, worked with mentally challenged adults, customer service, wedding planner, a casino host, convention and casino sales manager and now a hotel room and convention space sales manager. I have a very go go go career and as I age my priorities have changed. I have made mistakes and at times put my job in front of my family and I regret that. I have lost time with my kiddos that I can never get back. Now that I am older and hopefully wiser I long for a more serene, laid back lifestyle. All of my working years I have found jobs that have served a purpose of making money to support my family like most Moms out there. I have enjoyed some jobs more than others but none have made me feel like what I do really matters. I long for a career that I have more say in my day to day life and something that I can't wait to get up in the morning and do. I am a very creative person that enjoys to busy myself with projects. I love to make something with my own two hands and either sell or give those things to others and they light up and are amazed at my creations. I would love to be my own boss but I lack the confidence that I can make a living at it. As much as I wish that I could throw caution into the wind and jump in with both feet into a creative frenzy I need a steady income. The mortgage company really gets pissy if you don't make your house payment on time. Geesh! They are touchy about that! Also eating on a regular basis is pretty cool and I'm not really in the mood to give that up. Call me crazy! I continue to work on myself and where I want to go in life and do millions of others. I will find my way eventually and hope you are along for the ride!

To follow dreams and figuring it all out along the way!
