Oh, I love that, Becca — “what now?” instead of “what if?” sounds like a great approach to life’s adventure!

My friend Dave has a t-shirt that says, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” — too true, eh?

What a great post. I, too, kind of drifted. I often wonder “what if…” Instead, I should wonder: “what now…”

dont turn back when you get up the path as far as you want to go. just go off the side on follow another trail or go make your own like she said about the water?

Strange as it seems, I don’t know of a lot of successful freelancers in Germany. Every second blog is written by a freelancer in writing or marketing or whatnot, but here…?

Deciding upon which path to try first isn’t easy. As Paulo Coelho said, one shouldn’t spend too much time deciding but rather pick a path which has “heart” and care for it, follow it until one reaches a point to turn back.
Sounds as if I’d have to pick an appealing path and just walk it. Success will come, hopefully, and if not — well, Coelho also says that every well-chosen path has opportunities to return to some point and take a new direction.

Domestika, you are a meme/tag magnet. Do you suppose that could be anything to do with your great writing skills?

Synchronicity such as this is the essence of life, Chris – and balance.
Synchronicity and balance.
And comfy chairs. ;-)

Great stuff. Strange how your story is so similar and yet so different. And not just the drawing and teaching – Your family went to england and came back to Canada, mine did things the other way round :)
