Ann- questions that I just went over with my Big Fish Nation business coach 2 hours ago- WOW! Now, what is the universe trying to tell me? I love that saying “do what you love, love what you do.” I agree- no regrets, things happen in a perfect time- So, what I am doing is writing it down- and seeing what will show up- not taking myself to seriously, and keeping up my creative energy!

Great questions! I can honestly say that I am pretty good at moving on when things don't work out the way I planned and using that experience to move on to the next chapter of my life. I love being a lifelong learner and moving and changing with what life brings me (in my case moving internationally with my husband's work) and usually finding that those moves have brought bigger and better opportunities for me if I let myself be open to that. Samantha is right – stinkin' thinkin' is what gets in the way. Without my last big move I would not be doing what I'm doing today and I'm very grateful for that

Question #1 is all about “stinkin' thinking” – those thoughts that tell you you couldn't do it for xyz reason. To get beyond the “stinkin' thinking” I have tried to break down the larger goal into small bite sized actions and celebrate the success each step of the way. It makes me feel better and before I know it I am on my way to a more successful outcome.

I feel blessed to be able to do something I love – help others experience the benefits of cultural exchange. There is nothing more rewarding than a family telling me they are better off because of their experience of hosting an exchange student, sharing their culture and learning from one another. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Thanks for the thought provoking questions!

Those are two great questions. I believe it's important to learn a lesson from all of life's experiences and staying positive even when things seem to not be going so well. Keeping the faith that something bigger and better is in store for you should allow you to not have regrets but to always feel as though you're learning as you travel down the path called life. Realize that you can't learn and grow without mistakes, so accept them as life lessons. Later for regrets! Especially if you're doing what you truly love and you're making a living at it. You may not be making as much as you would like right now, but the fact that you're able to generate sustainable income doing what you love with endless possibilities as to where you can take your passion should be exciting and inspiring!

Thanks Ann. You certainly know how to engage ! Its true we often stay on the banks of the river waaay to long. The fear of flying is a terrible waste. We really need to learn to make a parachute and not worry about falling. This is the stuff they should be teaching our kids in schools.

I have always done what I love and continue to do so. As life unfolds, new adventures, opportunities to grow and learn present themselves. I am a lifelong learner and there is so much more to learn and experience. No regrets, I just take time to reflect, learn and then move on. Thank you for the opportunity.
