Anthony Bourdain must have the best job in the world. Can
you imagine what it would be like traveling around the world, eating exciting
cuisine and writing about it?
I love food, I love traveling and I love writing. What is your dream
job? Are you living it?
One morning I woke up and looked at this half-finished
home renovation project that I have been staring at for the past ten years and
I realized I am so tired of talking about paint colors and paint brushes, floor
tiles and shrubs that it was making me sick. I used to love to paint…the artsy
kind, landscapes and portraits…now painting just means walls and doors and I
have come to hate it. I used to love working in the garden, now the only thing
left of my garden is weeds and dirt.
Remodeling has its price and sometimes,
like me, you might ask yourself…are dreams of something better worth the price
paid? Of course they are. We all have days when we are swallowing half empty
glasses, when we look around us and realize that our dreams are taking longer
than we expected, or that they have changed completely.
Don’t give up. Some of
your dreams may change and some may take longer than you planned but ask
yourself, what is the alternative? A world without dreamers would be very black
and white.

Tell me, what are your dreams? I would love to help them
come true if I can! Enjoy your week

He does have a great gig.
That's cool about your first book!!
My goals have shifted more to my music now, so who knows if I'll write another book.
I do kind of work at my dream job- I'm an editor. But I also want to write novels. We'll see what happens next.

My dream image: writing in a reclusive spot with beach or a body of water nearby, with no worries about our kids, and a few books under my belt and pubbed.
Dreams do keep us going. Yeah, Bourdain has a dream job. Did you read Kitchen Confidential? I'll never think of staff kitchens the same. . .
Oh, better finish that sentence fragment I left in my comment.
'I'll never think of staff kitchens in restaurants the same as I did before reading that book. Bourdain was quite young and impressionable then.'
I, too, love food and travel. Unfortunately, my bank account no longer supports the amount of it that I used to do.
I would love to have enough money to stay home and write full-time. What would I write? That's a hard one. I have so many interests. Writing about food and travel would be great. But I also like to explore medical stories. And I would love to write for children. They say it is a tough market these days but even at my age I still love children's books. Maybe I am just a kid at heart :-)
I dream of being a self-supporting author. Not an uncommon dream among our friends, right?
To visit New Zealand would be grand. If I liked it, I would like to live there in a small cottage by a lake or mountain.
To date Galadrial might be nice! Now, that is dreaming!!
Hi, Sis,
NEVER give up the dream! It may take years but eventually it will happen.
You know my dreams, so i keep trudging along my long and WINDY journey, filled with ditches, pot holes, water gaps, mountains, river, and gale force winds...
I'll get there .... In Time ...
HUGS!
