Congratulations on both accomplishments! I know you worked long and hard for both of them. I would love to see your commercial when it is finished. Work feels like play when you are involved with something you have a passion for.
Over the years many people have trashed the teaching profession but I have always felt energized from teaching. There are days that are better than others and children who are more challenging than others but every day I am in the classroom I learn far more life lessons than I could ever teach.
Keep following your dreams - the best is yet to come.

Love ya…

As usual, I couldn’t agree more. I really don’t know how a lot of people do things they don’t love for a living…just thinking about it makes me depressed. I couldn’t imagine actually waking up every morning knowing that the next twelve hours I would be doing something I enjoyed.

It’s a cliche for sure, but life is too short to do that. And to be honest, life probably feels much shorter if you don’t love what your doing.

I think one of the biggest problems is people don’t realize they can do anything they want. It goes back to something we’ve talked about before: Education. Based on my experience with people, a lot of people think “Well, I don’t have a degree in that. I can’t do that.” What they don’t realize is that you can become an expert in anything you want. A lot of people sell themselves short. It goes back to the “Mind is Powerful” post as well. It can sometimes be a curse if you tell yourself you can’t do something.

Sorry for such a long comment, just something I feel very strongly about and have witnessed both sides of the coin.
