What do I want to be when I grow up???

Last week was brutal! 80 people from my company were laid off and many of them were people who had become close friends at work. It's like I'm at a whole different company now. In the Marketing department alone, 20 people were laid off. Pretty much my whole team was cut in half and all the marketing coordinators were let go and my job also was eliminated, but I was given another job. Basically my cube neighbor was let go and I will be taking over her job duties now. All of this happened last Wednesday and let's just say it was a crying fest at work...not a good day at all.

I have been wanting to get a promotion for such a long time, but not in this way. At one point I did apply for the job that was just given to me, but now it's just different...I don't feel the excitement like I did before. So now I'm doing alot of soul searching and trying to figure out what is it exactly I want to do with my life. What are my passions??? I know I'm creative and pretty much don't like structure, but I need to make a living to help raise my family. Hmm...what do I like??? Here is my "like" list so far:


Art - Drawing, painting, ceramics
Theater - Acting
Singing
Dance
Piano
Photography
Cooking
Baking
Fashion
Hair
Shoes
Jewelry
Making people laugh
Makeup
Children's clothes
Planning parties
rollerskating - Can I make a living by rollerskating???
I just want to do all these things!! Hmmm...think think think!!


I'm going to need some help! If anybody has any suggestions, based off of my "likes" list please pass my way!! Sometimes great minds think alike!! Looking forward to suggestions!! And please pass this on to friends...I need all the help I can get!!! :-)

I think you should act like you are drawing a ceramic painting of you singing and dancing on a piano while posing for a picture, wearing shoes/rollerskates, jewelry and clothes that you designed yourself while attending a children's clothing party you planned yourself, eating a baked goodie that you cooked yourself while making people laugh with your outrageous clown makeup!!!!!! WHEW!!


Wouldn't it just be easier to be a Ballerina or an Astronaut? HA HA HA! LOL.


(on a serious note... don't worry, things will fall into place, just be ready to move when it all starts happening... that's usually the way it works when God has a wonderful plan for your life!)

Eileen, I have three words for you - What. Cathy. Said.

Okay, that won't work. As we discussed before, I think you should look into culinary arts. That is an avenue for you to be creative, art wise, and fulfill that love for making up new things. Either way, as Cat said, just leave it up to God. He's got it all planned out once you hand it over.
