Love it! Thanks for the inspiration. I so needed that today. It’s important to surround ourselves with messages that remind us who we really are and not who we think, or that others think we are!

I too am an outof the box business — going for it has looked foolish and whacky to some. That must mean I’m on the right path,eh?

Thanks for an inspiring article. Like Beverly Park, I am almost 60 and creating a new career/unconventional business for myself. It’s hard work, it’s scary at times, and lots of people just don’t “get it.” They just look at me like I’ve lost my mind when I tell them what I plan to do. I suppose some people think that at my age I should just stay “retired” and be done with it. Sometimes we just have to get out there and go for it, no matter what others think. I don’t think age is necessarily a limiting factor and am enthusiastic and excited about moving forward. No sitting in a rocking chair and waiting to die for me! Here’s to all those out there working to create their dream lives!

This is a most inspiring article. It was uplifting and made me feel even more hopeful and conscious that my dreams can and will be realized and that by keeping a positive “I can” attitude I create the energy to fulfill my dreams. Thank you for the gift of inspiration.

Thanks for this article, Valerie…it came at a good time for me. A great bit of encouragement as I am pushing forward to take the leap. I finally feel ready, am clarifying my dreams and hope to see where it takes me soon. These type of articles always cements what is needed for inspiration and the ‘get up and go’ attitude that you sometimes lack or are afraid to do until you read something like this and think…’hmm, I could do that….I CAN do that!’ So thanks again!

I love this article! And it jives with my own experience. I’ve usually been able to make whatever I want to happen happen. My current problem is that at this point in my life, my “dream” is elusive. I’ve been sniffing around, trying various things, and nothing really speaks to me. Or rather a lot of things do, but none with a voice that stands out from the rest. And I need to generate income. So right now I’m in search of a dream. How do you find one?

That’s easier said than done. I have failed as an electrician because I cannot pass the tests. I still work at it though because my boss is patient with me and I work hard. I am still looking for that dream job that will take me into my retirement as I am 55 now and I do not know what my dreams are!

What if you don’t know anymore what your dreams are? I am doing something now that brings in the money – a means to an end. Yet I don’t wake up raring to go because I love it; in fact, I hate just about every part of it. But, it is a great way to make the most money in the least amount of time – recouping previous losses.
