So, Leigh, what do you want to do when you grow up?

Here's what I want to do.

I want to work, because I'm a hard worker. And becuuse I like to work. Really. LOVE interacting with co-workers. LOVE completing a project. LOVE traveling. LOVE networking in person. LOVE when my days are completely different than the last. LOVE knowing that I have an impact on people through my every day job. LOVE learning how to do something I don't already know how to do. I can think of a million things I want to do!

Like own a cute interior design and invitation store with a girl friend. Or a boutique. In an adorable, prime location. Don't have a clue how to run the business end, but I'd love to learn. Or I'll just stick to marketing and PR. I want to raise babies. I'd love to work in a PR firm, again, my hands in a little bit of everything. I'd like to work in the non-profit sector. I want to be a wife. And I'd absolutely love to work on the road, traveling all over the place. I would love to work with a Chamber of Commerce, or a publication like Mobile Bay Magazine. Southern Weddings. Totally out of reach. But everything I've ever loved all rolled up into one! In fact, that'd be my dream job. I want to make a difference. I want to look at pretty things everyday like magazines and photography. I want to volunteer with nonprofit foundations. I want to laugh and I want to learn to be comfortable in my own skin. I want to find my niche. The things I'm great at doing. I want to have my own place. I want to write what's on my mind, about various topics. And even lighter things- yes, I'm aware my blog is often... heavy. I want to be someone who does it all. All the time. Because I love my life when it's busy, hectic and when I'm running around with my hand in a little bit of everything.

But here's the catch...

I'm not real sure about where to start.

Resume after resume. Cover letter after cover letter. Contact after contact.

Pray. Pray that His plan comes. Pray that it gives me just one. Just one idea, about what I want to do when I grow up....

On another note: I'm learning so, so, so much from some blogs and websites I've stumbled upon. Good Women Project is one of them! Amazing. I'm learning so much. You know, learning how to live and learn and let things go. Learning to change my ways. Learning to be different and I'm thanksful for that community out there that allows me to do so. What a blessing! Check out this blog on the Profile of a Good Woman. I'm learning to be a good woman. A kind woman. I woman who understands how to build up, rather than tear down men. I woman who is loving. A woman who's got an idea about who she is, what she wants and what she has to offer. The kind of woman who doesn't pick fights. But chooses to love and understand. Read this one next! But if you're only going to read one, this is IT! Read it now! Learning so much! Now, if only I could figure out how to learn to do it all....
