{ Answering the Age Old Question... }

It seems that we have blue skies ahead on the job front. An offer for one more year of full time work has been accepted but that is not why we are celebrating. For many years in this household it has been common to hear this question being asked, "If you won the lottery tomorrow, what would you do with your life?" It is not a trivial question. It is never met with, "I would buy..." It is often asked in moments of crisis or of cross roads. When that particular question is asked, it's recipient is expected to contemplate it seriously. You see, by removing the single largest hindrance that most of us have in our lives...money...one is free to go deep inside and connect with a more meaningful life vision. It is so easy to forget that we are meant to contribute to this world in other ways besides financially. So our age old question is the touchstone to remind us. We are celebrating now because for the last few years, one of us who had previously been met with a vast deafening silence from within when the question was posed, finally has an answer. Yes, the business plan is still being sketched, excitement is tangible. Regardless of what the job front brings in 12 months time, we see nothing but sunny skies around here.
