I’m lucky enough to be in a career in which I constantly get to redesign and refine the direction I’m going. I am a Writer and a Life Coach now…but it hasn’t always been that way. I spent over two decades in the insurance field. Now my spirit soars - and my creativity finds new outlets everyday.

I’d be a minister.

Somedays I would like to be a construction worker that blows things up or tears down bad buildings to put up safer ones. Slinging a sledgehammer somedays would feel really good. Other than that I have been very very lucky and do what I love to do. Other days flying a really fast jet sounds like fun too. One can always dream!

Hey Kermie b…I thought about art therapy also. My degree is in art and my best work is highly personalized. It is my own personal therapy. What a wonderful job to help others express themselves visually when words literally fail. Visual art can be a language in itself. Right now I am working on a sculpture that goes right to the heart of a troubling family matter.

President of the United States ………. No, I’m not kidding!

Linda that’s great! Very funny… and it’s not to late!!! I mean… McCain is 71! LOL.. you go girl. I’m surprised by how many people are really happy with what they are doing and what they have done. I have to admit i’m one of them. i was very happy with what I was doing when I was doing it. And when I wasn’t… I changed it. But it’s great to see.

theoretical physicist (am already a theoretical human), astroarcheologist (certainly less crowded and contentious than terra firma), noetic scientist, sponge to Julie Taymor’s creative brillliance, horticulturist (as there is much culture in hanging with the horts), zoologist (“it’s all happenin’ at the zoo, I do believe, I do believe it’s true) and for this little questionaire, last yet certainly not least, Pronoiac Artistic Director of the Full MOon Throttle Players of the Church of Universal Cookie Dough. Improvisational performances held monthly amid the sacred spaces of our Mother….y’all are invited

i would have moved to NYC as a young woman—took acting/singing and hit Broadway!

At 63, a stand up comic. Even after all those years in Engineering School, I still would like to be a comic. I do comedy clubs in the area, and they like me a kit but I would love to do it big one day, just once. I write my own jokes or just do it off a suggestion from someone in the crowd, I love it and it works.

I spent 40 years working and enjoyed it a lot. Never was “qualified” for any job I was hired to do and that, rather than being an impediment, turned out to be the best asset I brought. Since I didn’t know how “it” was supposed to be done, I had to figure it out myself. Seems I had a gift for problem solving. For years I said I didn’t know what I wanted to do when I grew up, but finally I have figured it out. I wanted to do all the things that cost money, instead of the things that earned it. At 73, that’s where I’m at now. And I love it! I can stay up as late as I like, sleep in as long as I want. Go anywhere I choose, have anything (not everything but anything) I want. Except the people in my life who have died. Them I miss. And I miss “mattering.” When my opinion meant something. When I could make things happen. That is what I miss about working. Plus the tremendous sense of satisfaction that comes with doing something well. I was very good at what I did, even if I did it out of expediency instead of choice.
