SatelliteServer: If you could drop everything what would you do or where would you go?
Funny you should ask that question caus' I got a true answer for ya!
I've always been interested in the performing arts. As a child, I used to sing on stage at various community fundraisers with my mom, and was always cast for a lead role in the school plays. I wished to pursue a career in the performing arts, but unexpected circumstances cropped up and I was forced to put that dream on hold for twenty years while I raised my children as a single parent. They were my priority and their needs always came first. On a fixed income, it didn't allow room for any other pursuits.
Now my children are grown and in college. I was working a full time job and was living a fairly stable lifestyle when I gave it all up last December. I had money that I had saved and with that money, I bought a bus ticket to the west coast of Canada and now have the freedom to pursue my dream. Since being in Vancouver, I am networking and making connections with others in the "biz" and performing every open mic night in various comedy and karaoke clubs.
Hey, I'm 45 years old! Life's too short to waste.
