As a young child, did YOU know what you wanted to be? Many successful
people always knew what they wanted to be from early childhood. They find it totally implausible that there are those who are still indecisive regarding career choices even as teenagers and/or young adults. They contend that they knew what they wanted to do as children, so should other people. Do YOU know what you wanted to be as a child?- Beth37posted 10 years ago
0When I was 5, a woman came to our church and played the piano and sang about God. I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. (Exchange piano for guitar.) When I was 11 I first heard Amy Grant. I adored her. I looked at the back of one of her Christmas albums and saw that she lived in Franklin TN. In my mind, it was the perfect place. (It is very special.) When I was 29 we moved to Franklin TN. I got to meet her a couple of times. Oddly enough, my son ended up being best friends with one of her most famous producer's son. It's such a small community here. I pursued music for a while. Played in coffee shops and even met with a few big producers (some of them loved my voice, but not so much my songs, some said the opposite), but what it came down to for me, was that I really wanted to be a mom to my kids more than anything else, even more than my dream. I will continue to seek God no matter what I end up doing. You don't have to be famous to share a gift.
So, in answer to your question, I'm a mom, and I'm living the dream.
Beth, once on a vacation, I traveled through Franklin, Tennessee. I personally think it's one of the most beautiful places on our God's green earth. Peaceful, loving, and just a really lovely place.
Nope. It wasn't. I think there's so much worry about who affiliates with whom. I have a certain group of folks here who have become close friends. That does not mean we agree with everything (you should hear us argue at times), nor does it mean that I dislike anyone. I will not shrink from sharing my own opinion about things, however, and occasionally, it may sound as though I'm being a bit harsh. That is never my intention. I can guarantee that every word I speak is sincere, however, unless I indicate otherwise - and I'm never shy to indicate otherwise if that's the case.
Yeah, yeah.
Holy cow, just read the news. You're doing alright for yourself.

I believe that's what they call "the circle of life.'

I did know what I wanted to be as a young child, but life sort of threw me a number of curve balls, and nothing's turned out as I expected.
First, I wanted to be a Navy pilot. Have bad eyes. Then, I wanted to be a thoroughbred jockey and race horses. Got too tall. Then a lawyer. Then a teacher. NEVER a wife. But, here I am. A wife, a mom, and an online entrepreneur...making slow, slow progress.
But, I'm happier than I ever thought I'd be, so I can't complain.

If a casting director wanted to audition your child, would you agree?
