Started writing so I could stay home with the kids. This also meant I got a crash course in THRIFT. :)<br /><br />I did finish college a couple years ago, and I'm still freelancing, but as you said recently it "doesn't light me up inside." Hunting for thrifted goodies I can re-sell and share, that does light me up. :)<br /><br />Thanks for your terrific blog - it's really inspirational and I read it often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-70762605508807066622011-04-28T08:38:43.135-04:002011-04-28T08:38:43.135-04:00I forgot to add that I didn't consciously go a...I forgot to add that I didn't consciously go about trying to make my 18-year-old dreams come true, it was surprising for me because it all happened organically.

Also, I personally feel a college degree is highly, highly HIGHLY overrated but this is just because I'm a little bitter at burning out trying to get a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering 15 years ago (I ended up quitting too!).

(that would be my dream job: who pays you big bucks to read books?) but having completed a degree does look good on a resume and so it has helped me land writing work. i also worked for and have volunteered as a youth pastor in two different churches. my writing work has been with Mennonite organizations and i have loved it. if someone had told me25 years ago that i'd be paid to write, i would have laughed out loud. and yet here i am doing it. i'm still working on the great Canadian novel and it may end up being my retirement project but at least i'm working on it. and now i'm blogging - which is so satisyfing: write, publish, get read! yay! i also sing in a great blues band, in choirs, with my talented son from time to time. so my music fix is also satisfied. overall, i think i'm a lucky girl.angelikahttp://thriftshopperforpeace.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-76197456359975132022011-04-27T12:06:40.180-04:002011-04-27T12:06:40.180-04:00Emily: Get out there and do it!
