Most life/career coaching books ask the question:  If you had unlimited amounts of money what would you do?  Another book, which I forgot the title of so I cannot give credit, asked:  What did you love to do as a child?  I thought about it and realized, just as the things I struggled with seem to come up in life lessons time and again, so to the things I love to do, the things that energize me, haven't really changed from when I was younger.

Organizing Events: When I turned 10, I got to host my first group sleepover for my party. I had an itinerary with food, crafts, and games, to maximize fun for everyone who attended (which nobody followed but that is a different lesson).  My sister and I organized a "Nature Club" for our friends with projects to complete and an awards ceremony.

Dancing: I was always dancing whether it was in classes or just around the house.  Almost all little babies move around to music, I just never grew out of it.

Writing: I wrote one of my first stories about a jelly bean who was unlike the other jelly beans in the Easter basket in kindergarten.  I have kept a journal since I learned how to write, rereading them as I scanned them before moving to Australia.  Some of my favorite words of wisdom: "If I could anyone I would be just me" (1st grade) "I love horses if I had anuf money I would by a horse. I have 15.00 now I ned 200.00 to get a good horse." (3rd grade) "I know giving is better but receiving is more fun" (4th grade)

Now how to I go about crafting these things into a job?  Ignoring the visa limitations for the moment.
