I am not negative but I guess I would get sudden cardiac arrest and die somewhere befoe finishing drawing my own life line, yet I do share your point, count your blessings and yes there is no linearity in the phrase “Do something you love…”

I don’t know how to draw my age and I don’t know how to draw my love, but I if I am to focus on the line I would replace the “n” in line with a “f” or even better, with a “v”.

Thank you for providing the space to reflect and write what are ironically still lines. Yes, that’s right, I can’t stand what I’ve just written because love is not contained in the written words, it is in ones own actions.

That is such great news! Congratulations to both of you!

I think the one thing I’ve found is there never seems to be a right time to have a baby with regards career.

I want a family very much, have since I was about 18, but there’s always a new exciting path opening up in my career that makes me too scared to take a couple of years out.

In our fast moving industry, I’m worried that say, 2-5 years out solid, plus another few working part time will mean I’ll never be at the top of my game, such as running my own business. Which is one of my ambitions.

But then as Sam (Michel) pointed out to me the other day, when will I be satisfied? Seems to me every ambitious and career minded person I’ve met never feels they’ve got far enough, yet. There’s always one more job to do, person to work with, or path to go down.

I’ll be interested to read how you two both juggle parenthood and fantastic careers, I can use you as my inspiration :)
