You can utilize and monetize all your "loves" in one place. In addition, the freedom you enjoy gives you the time to be a good dad. Take it from a guy whose done a lot, had a lot of fun and a fair share of calamity. In the end, if you have a good family, you just can't ask for more.

I appreciate it! And I agree that staying busy with things you enjoy is a far better alternative than just withering away! =:) Jay Lugene, thanks for the perspective from someone who’s been around the sun a few more times than most.

I enjoyed it all. Sometimes it was all done concurrently. I am an 80 year old great mother and enjoy that a whole lot. Now I am spending most of my time trying to create new things online. some one might say, 'why are you doing this now? If you sttay busy you don't lose your cognitive abilities and wither-up and die. I have peace doing what I do. You too, will look back later and say, 'it was good'. Well, Jay, I tried nursing, speaking, writing and have been on the internet since the early 1990′s.

That's why people change their minds so much. What you believe is why you do it. You believe in it, it's the right thing and it will eventually be fun if you don't give up. Kids are non-negotiable. Fun or not, nobody gives up on their kids or they've got problems seriously beyond the scope of this discussion. I know more than a few people who will STOP doing business with anyone who doesn't put their children before the customer. Other family members are debatable but children under 18 are non-negotiable. btw- I've witnessed YOU (Jay Jennings) do just that when your wife was out of town - last December I think it was. You spend time with your kids because you believe that makes them happy and that's what you want. That's what makes you happy and that's fun...even when they're acting up, you never give up and stop spending time with them. Whatever you do has to be fun or you won't keep doing it for very long, you won't want to, not even for money.... you have to want to and what you want is twisted up with what you believe. What makes something fun? What makes something NOT fun? Whatever you are NOT makes you what you are. Uncomfortable is NOT fun. Working for nothing is NOT fun. Doing anything without purpose is NOT fun. Being ignored and unappreciated is NOT fun. Alone with no support is NOT fun. Whatever is comfortable, makes money, solves a problem, has your name on it, people support you because they believe what you believe. That is fun. You're happy. Money is not a reason. It's the result. What you believe is why you do something. What you do just proves what you believe. Your true passion becomes apparent. It's whatever works the best for you on all levels. Here's another angle to consider - more along the marketing side of things: http://www.ez-1.net/passion2 Guess how I made this short video webpage in just minutes?

Both are excellent questions that each one of us asks several times throughout our life time. I know I have. I think asking, and finding the answer to questions is the worlds best kept secret. Particularly when the answer comes from within. The 'ha ha' type of feeling and knowing. Am I doing what I love? Yes I am however, it took four years and several detours to really gel with me what I enjoyed doing and that was teaching others. Does it provide the income and freedom that I am looking for. No - not exactly. And that is the very reason I am looking to take my passion to the internet to reach a wider audience. Thanks for opening up the conversation Jay. My guess is the answer will pop into your heart and mind now that you have challenged yourself by asking these particular questions. Kym If I could do anything, what would I do?….

What kind of sense does that make?

I keep thinking I'll do this when I retire however I don't think the body will be as strong and I'll probably still be working. Sounds like you've worked out a great way to see the USA with travel trailer...congratulations.
