There are people who have money and people who are rich

"They" say do what you love.....

"Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life"..."find your passion"..... You may want to pull up a chair, this may take a while.

Lately, this has been my obsession, what am I going to be when I grow up?  In talking with other people , I don't think I'm alone here either.  As I am approaching 41 years old, my entrepreneurial spirit is continuously calling out to me and I'm trying my best to respond. But what is the answer???  I've recently read this book, 48 Days to the Work You Love written by Dan Miller, as recommended by financial expert, Dave Ramsey. As I see it, I'm going to have to read it again, to mentally grasp the concepts and truly listen to what the writer is trying to get through to me.

Do what you love, what is your passion?? What exactly does it mean do what you love? I love working for myself, flea markets, yard sales, traveling, gardening, blogging. I love our business, Roadside Relics. Problem is, my "real" job gets in the way.  Balancing family, full-time work and this part-time dream can take it's toll. Something's gotta give!  Another dilemma in doing these things that I love, the return has been minimal (due to the time issue).  Life cannot be lived on a minimal profit. I'm just going to have to be patient. Patience my dear, patience.... I guess until the skies part and God says, "Marie ___ is what I want you to do," I'll dream a little.....

Dreaming of a shop like Shaunna's over at perfectly imperfect...........living my dream.....check out her blog, especially taking note of her office space, ideal for meeting with clients, so personal and comfy! 

The way my dream plays out, Connie and I have been traveling for a few days. We've found the coolest most unique treasures. We have an adorable shop like this where dealers and customers are anxiously awaiting for our return.

Or what about Rhoda showing some  Southern Hospitality.......I picture myself in the morning, walking into this office with my coffee, checking my orders I've received overnight. I wanna be her when I grow up!

Meet Beth, I could be like her, a diy'er (do it yourself'er) and professional blogger. Her blog, Home Stories A to Z  is cleverly written to reflect her personality. A girl that describes herself  as "I possess zero special talents! Seriously. It’s true. I’m just incredibly tenacious, resourceful, and willing to take risks." Maybe that's why I like her so much, we have a lot in common!

After completing this post, I honestly think, reading what I am passionate about makes things more clear. Thank you for listening to me!  Life is too short, I think we all should love what we do for a living. That's not too much to ask, is it?
