New Idea!

I just HAVE to get this out because I can't focus on my work until I do.

Some people would look at not doing what you originally set out to do- quitting. I call it changing my mind. For a long time now, I've been so sure that my calling in life was to be a wedding/event planner. And while that still is interesting and fun to me, I haven't been as passionate about it lately. I'm not really motivated by it right now. I started to feel the pressure of "quitting" and that really bothered me. How could I quit something I love doing so much? How can I quit before I really even got started? I'm realizing that changing your mind is not quitting. Changing focus is not quitting. I am destine to be one of those people who will always have a million ideas and never be satisfied doing just one thing. Why should I have to choose just one? This is a question I have to ask my husband all the time. He gets frustrated that I can never settle on one interest or one passion. But why should I? No person should be forced to only respond one calling if they hear twenty more.

I'm on the verge of a new passion. I won't know for sure, until after tonight, if this is going to be my next venture toward a career or not, but I won't know until I try! I'm not going to un-veil this new interest until I'm ready to commit to the idea. This may cause a raised eye brow, or two. In fact, I can say with absolute certainty that if I take this idea and run with it, there will be a family member, or four, who will not like this idea and who will probably lie when asked by other people what I do. Have I piqued your interests yet? :) Oh, this is just so exciting for me! It all makes perfect sense! It combines so many of my passions and puts them to such good use! I completely understand the rush my friend Elise gets from always changing career plans now. For me, I don't get too many "new and exciting" feelings, being an old married woman. I always wondered how I'd live without ever getting the rush from those "first kisses" or the nervousness when you think they like you but you don't know but you know you like them. Well, this is the replacement. Stumbling upon a new career idea is the equivalent of getting a new boyfriend. Who knows if I'll ever settle down and get married to one career ;) I may play the field my whole life. And I am quite alright with that.
