What have you secretly always wanted to do with your life?

Are you living the life of your dreams? If not, what would you be doing with your life if money, intellect, or time had been no object? What is your dream life?

I would be living somewhere warmer, a smaller city outside a larger city. The small city would be 'walkable' to work, to plays etc. We would be welcome there. I would have a massage business. My dh would have a job that respects him.

Always wanted to run my own small restaurant...but I wised up. My second thing would be to own a Tiki Hut in Clearwater Beach FL serving yummy Rumrunners & other fruity drinks, while watching for dolphins! It would be DallasAlice's Hut...look for me...lol

I wouldn't say I am living the life of my dreams but I can say I am content and happy. I love Mark.

I have been blessed to be able to take train trips and go on retreats every couple years, two of my favorite things in the world to do!

I'd like to have a little bigger place and be out of debt but then, who wouldn't.
Money not being an object, I would live on the beach .
My dream life NOW is for Mark to be retired, be debt free and to have enough money to live on comfortably. Our "gym" would be walking on the beach and our church would be sunsets on the beach.

When I was younger I dreamed of being a translator for people who are deaf. Also had a dream of running a Tea Room, I think I would have been good at either.

hugs, train

If money was not an object I would definitely have a house on the ocean. The ocean makes me feel happy and calm. For a profession, I have always wanted to be a writer. there has never been a time when I wasn't writing (mostly journals but sometimes stories and articles) I would love a bigger house with closets. (I live in a tiny New England house with one closet!) I would also love to be out of debt and to live more simply. (both goals I am working on) There are also things I have always wanted to learn like ASL, knitting, etc. and those are also things I could be working on now if I only had more time.

I always wanted to be a teacher and now I am glad I didn't do it. Ran my own daycare for years and that was enough.

I always wanted to be a stay at home mom and have a million kids. I did get to stay at home for 4 or 5 years. I do miss that and wish I could have done it longer. Had 4 kids and am glad now that I didn't have an more.

I met the love of my life and wish us both happiness together for ever. I just wish that money and jobs were not a on going issue in our life. But that is life and life goes on.

I would love to live by the coast and I would change my job. I would love to become a midwife, I would do the training now, but my hubby is a paramedic and works shifts, so I can't work shifts

Theresa, it is never too late to go back to school. Most colleges even offer online classes. Some colleges offer free monitoring of classes online as well.
