I spoke briefly about this video and how it inspired me before speaking at career day at my high school over on my author site, but I wanted to share it with my Jaded folks, too.
While I am already living a pretty good life as a writer, there's still so much I'd like to do. If money were not a driving factor I'd still have a job, but not a full time one. I'd have more freedom to pursue a slew of creative endeavors that are currently on the back burner because I have somewhere to be from nine in the morning to five in the evening, Monday through Friday. As it stands, everything I want to accomplish has to move at a slower pace than I'd like, but maybe it's a good thing. Maybe it's teaching me patience. I mean, I got the tattoo, might as well try to embody it, no?
So how about it, folks- what about you? What would you do if money were no object?
*smooches...looking to have a passion-filled week*

there's so much weighing on me right now; gotta make my own happiness while I can!

Oddly enough, someone from OKCupid just asked me this same question. He wanted to know what I'd do if I had all the money in the world and had already done the "stereotypical" giving to charities, family, friends, etc.
I would open my bookstore, with the best paid accountants and employees (with great health care). I would staff it so all I had to do was spend my days lounging around my store, chatting up customers about the latest books or just sitting in a comfy chair reading.
I would also open my artist's compound, where all of my friends/family could live/work. It would be an outpost of buildings, complete with workshops and places to sell our wares to anyone who felt like stopping by to by art by local merchants.
kelly- that sounds awesome. We should collaborate!!
I would start a bilingual elementary school. I would also create an empowerment camp for girls, that focused on fitness and overall wellness (specifically for girls that suffer from low self esteem or weight problems). In addition, I would spend my summers traveling the world and bringing light to issues of children worldwide through a photography project that I have always thought of executing. I guess I would also use the funds to be trained in photography.
