If you could do anything in the world with the guarantee you would succeed, what would it be? If you could choose five things, what would they be? Either use this in your blog or feel free to respond here with some of your ideas.

My MOST important aspiration is to raise happy healthy children to be happy healthy adults. If I could suceed is being the mother, that each of my children will individually need (being that every child is different), while raising them together. That's what I want!

Others things:

2. My marriage! My husband is such a great guy and my bestfriend! We work really hard so that it will always be that way. We really truly enjoy spending time together and talking and laughing. If we can keep that up for 50+ more years, that would be awesome!

3. I want to go back to school and finish a degree getting really high marks. Not sure in what yet, but I want to add a bachelor's degree to my associate's degree.

4. Learn new skills! I have always wanted to learn to ice skate, ride horses, and step dance. (I know weird, but I love step dancing!) I also want to re-learn to play the piano! I haven't even tried in 10 years!

5. I have this dream in the far distant future...so far that I don't even know how it would come about. I would LOVE to own a bed and breakfast! Not only that though. There is this "Orchard" we visit all of the time here. Its only about 10 minutes from the city, but when you get out there, all you see are rolling hills with fields full of different kind of fruits and veggies! It's all you can see in all directions! Everything from peaches, apples, pears, tomatoes, strawberries, grapes, blueberries...I mean it's a huge place! I would LOVE to have a bed and breakfast on a place like that! I beautiful stone/brick home and maybe have a pasture of horses as well. Again, not sure how and when that would come about! But that would be a dream for after the kids are grown.

Those are my ideas!

I dont know what my number one would be, other than to be happy, but I already am, and know I will continue to be happy my whole life. I suppose #1 would be o have a happy family.

2. To learn (& enjoy) to cook and bake well.
3. To be mre creative and artsy.
4. Learn to speak French, fluently, I've never been fluent but have lost a lot of my vocabulary in the language.
5. Be my perfect weight/size, after the last baby I still have about 15 lbs to lose to be where I really want to be, but I''m working on it!

Missed this yesterday...

The main thing I'd do is open my own crafty type store. I know in my head what the layout would look like, and all the stuff that I would carry. Just terrified of actually doing it....

I'm still developing my longest term dream, but I want it to involve my own business. Possibly even my own company. I'd like to either employ or provide vocational services to young people who want to succeed, but haven't been given the tools to do so. I know it sounds kind of corny, and probably kind of vague but there is an idea evolving in my head
First, though, I want to:
1. Encourage my kids to be the best that they can be and expose them to as many positive influences and experiences that I can.
2. I recently returned to college and am working towards my bachelors degree in Business Management (or Business Administration, still deciding)
3. I really want to visit Costa Rica with my husband and kids.
4. There are a few skills I want to develop just to say "I can" such as knitting, learn to ski again, sewing etc.
