Well, you have to think about your dream then in different ways. I think what you are doing here is on the path to your dream. You are informing people like me about plants and herbs, things I never paid attention to. Between you and @borjan, my eyes have been opened in a way that they never were before. I actually think fungi are beautiful now :)

My book was written after many years of illness that had not been treated properly. That time is past, but I thought I'd share what I learned with others who were dealing with the same issues. When I read the book now, I see edits I would make, but that's history and I've moved on. That was the beginning of my writing career.

If you're curious, here it is: These Are the Faces of Lupus

If you read my book (I'm not recommending that unless you have lupus 😇), you'll know more about me than I typically share here. I am very private. But the rest of the world knows, so why not you?

I am so much older than you. It's easy to be philosophical, and measured. Really, there isn't much choice anymore 😄. I tell my daughter (who doesn't always feel fulfilled in her job), make sure every single day you do something that brings you joy. Every day. No matter what else happens, in that day, grab a little piece for yourself.

You seem to be so creative, and giving. I think it must be easy for you to take that advice🌼
