I remember telling my Mom when I was five years old that I wanted to be a nun. She told me that I couldn't because I wasn't Catholic. So I told her, "well then I'll become a Catholic", not even knowing what a Catholic was!

And from the time I was about five until my early 20's, I also wanted to be a mother of 12 adopted children, a kindergarten teacher and a United Church minister.

Do any of you remember the series Elephant Boy? I’m not sure, I think that’s the title. It was about an Indian boy who rode his elephant through the jungle. As a child I wanted an elephant and ride around just like him. I loved that show. Then I wanted to be a Vet, which would not have been good…because at the site of blood, I would have squealed louder than the pigs.

Like you Eagleheart, I wanted at least 12 children. Adopt them and help in missionaries. Funny how a child’s heart is able to swell so big and want to love so many things.

Dancer, I think you could have edited a magazine as well. You come up with the greatest topics. Just want to give you a big thank you.

LOL, Hannelore. For years my friends have said I should be the editor of Vogue! No way, the pressure would kill me! Listen to me! The pressure, and I don't find the stage pressure at all!

Another fun topic.

I wanted to be a mom. That's it, just a mom. At midlife, I realized that job came to a screeching halt so I launched BWS and the NABBW.

Anne, I know several women whose second adulthood calling has much to do with their life experiences. Why not?

Dotsie,
What a great wish! You did what your dream was and also did it in a big way as well, giving birth to these ideas that bring us all together into a family!
Good for you, don't settle!
