It is the world/culture that makes us think that "if" we do this or that, then we are successful. Even in Christian circles - we have to do things a "certain" way. You know, Jesus was not a crowd follower. In fact, He went against what others were saying often times.

I agree with Lorrie - the answer is "I'm an artist" - but also a quick note about doctors asking that question - a good and thoughtful doctor asks this to know more about what kind of physicality you have in your day-to-day. <br /><br />My stock answer for this is "My partner and I make gift items based on high resolution photographs of Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877038657361699565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295766351549691373.post-59665722609484747762012-06-11T13:29:38.054-05:002012-06-11T13:29:38.054-05:00Lana, I could have written this post.

You are definitely a multi talented woman! With a dear heart as well!<br /><br />I too have struggled with "what I do and who I am" . . . .

I used to feel the same way, floundering to come up with a wonderful response to this question. And now, finally, I proudly proclaim that I am an artist and full-time blogger, sharing and selling my artwork online as well as selling my The Feathered Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834706040445842112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295766351549691373.post-23668759428227204672012-06-11T10:07:49.807-05:002012-06-11T10:07:49.807-05:00Morning Lana...I have asked myself the same thing ...Morning Lana...I have asked myself the same thing a gazillion times.
