1. "It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing." - You know its funny, I just started on facebook and reunited with alot of my old friends from high school. The different career paths we all took is just amazing - we have lawyers, doctors, teachers, accountants, etc. Although I admit to a little jealousy because I never really figured out what kind of career I wanted, I admire those that followed their dreams and met their hearts longing. When asked in the high school paper where I thought I would be in 10 years I replied "married and have a son". Now I am married to the love of my life and we have two wonderful sons. It just dawned on me reading The Invitation that I did follow my heart and dreams - college and career were not nearly as important to me as the family I would have one day.
So to those that met with success along the way, I say congratulations. To those that feel like they met with failure, I say look again. Success is not defined by our peers or society, it is defined by our hearts. I truly believe we all have a purpose in life, a reason to be here, and if we look hard enough we will find that reason. I know I did - I love you M, John Michael, and Spencer!
