Congratulations! I've had a backward life - always chosen jobs that meant something to me but never made much money. Didn't need it, though - always had a fairly simple lifestyle that included everything I wanted. But now, as I turn 40 in 2 weeks (ya-hoo!!!) - and finally with some grey hair that, yes, does help people take me more seriously (being as how I've always looked so much younger than I am, which sounds great but is kind of annoying when you're in charge of something important and everyone thinks you're 22.) - I am venturing onto the most exciting path yet - opening a yoga studio in the Northern Cal city I live in that doesn't have a single studio. It's as though finally all the non-profit, teaching, and writing businesses I've had (not to mention years of teaching yoga) are all coming together at the right time and the right place. 40 is pretty sweet. As is life - my favorite personalized license plate ever said "NORGRTS." So kudos to all of you who have the courage to risk some financial security to follow a passion. And thanks for this blog. Happy adventuring! I love reading this – particularly the 10-glorious-years-of-marriage part. Congratulations!

I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up! I have many interests but can't seem to commit to one. I feel I need to find it yet nervous to jump in to something that is not "safe" financially. Very difficult! So I enjoy my job but it's not complete. I do not feel truly fulfilled. You are right. I am grateful for the different paths my life has taken because it has led me here today. I am blessed with a wonderful husband who's been a great support. I do,however, feel I have soooo much further to go and 40 is knocking!!!!! I'll keep on searching! Thanks for your amazing words! Always an inspiration!

Awesome post... and the timing is impeccable. I stand at a fork in the road. Do I take the safe path that will definitely increase my income, but require more time and less freedom? Or, do I take the path that offers the opportunity for a greater reward both in money and time, but could make me fall flat on my face? I was ready to give up on my second option, but after reading this have decided otherwise. I am not able to devote myself to it entirely, but I am NOT going to let it die. Thank you for the inspirational post! WOW! Awesome post… and the timing is impeccable.
