Hi,

Thank you--I'm flattered that you asked.

Last night what I want to do finally jelled. I was easily able to write a mini business plan this morning, and I feel centered and calm about it, unlike the conflicted and angry way I've been in the past. It's not ultra-grandiose like the other plans I've made and I see how the parts link together.

Up until now I haven't known what I wanted to do. I assumed most people were like that and only the lucky few knew (like, say, Jodie Foster) knew what they wanted to do from a very young age. Maybe somewhere in my head I knew what I wanted to do but I created conflicts within myself that kept me from knowing what I knew.

She may well be right, I always assumed most people were like me but that was just an assumption.

I'm glad to hear that because there are some things I wanted to do that I was afraid to do because of what people might think. But they can be done at a later date when the timing is right.

That sounds right to me--follow your intuition and creep up on what you should be doing.

Thank you very much for the question, I only hope what I write helps people and doesn't confuse the issues or throw people off track. I have good intentions about what I post, but you know the old saying about good intentions......

Best,
