What if money were no object?

Posted on by

I would read all the books, learn all the dances, crochet all the things, and play with my kids all the games. How to turn that into a living is beyond me. What about you?? What makes YOU itch?

    Lets just say money and TIME were no object:

    1. Hire a full-time assistant
    2. Hire a house-keeper and a cook
    3. Rebuild my home to a more modern home, keeping my lot
    4. Purchase my neighbors’ homes too (bigger yard)
    5. With a bigger yard, I’d need a gardener
    6. Drive an SUV (yep)
    7. Be sure to have walk in closet for all the shoes I’d be purchasing
    8. Hire a personal trainer
    9. Now the fun part: adopt another child
    10. Play more with Oliver and new child
    11. Start my own business and hire my dream team (money is no object so I’d pay them more than they wanted)
    12. Get a big couch and giant TV so we could watch fun movies together
    13. Get the dream kitchen I want so that I could cook like I like, very comfortably
    14. Buy the camera I want
    15. Open up a pizzeria
    16. Travel with my son (and adopted child/children)

    Yep. Thanks for letting me dream!

    Move to California coast; pretty much anywhere from Big Sur north would suit me just fine.

    Medium-scale organic gardening/farming that includes milk goats, poultry, and bees. Barter/sell/give away the extra within my community.

    Travel every year or two to domestic and international locations, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, New England, Atlantic coast of Canada, and all the National Parks I’ve missed so far.

    Get a massage once a week.

    I think that’s enough for now!
