I have always been a PLAYER from the word go. I work at home and get a lot of things done, but everything seems like play to me and a lot of people. A lot of people even wonder what on earth I am doing because they see me playing ALL THE TIME! By being playful, I am a coach to a lot of people, a public speaker and even a consultant. With all these happening to me, I am happy to be a PLAYER and will continue being playful! :) I love those pictures Jean and the new theme is cool. You are inspiring me to start looking to building my own blog. Great week :) Jean,

Sometimes I pretend I'm a kid pretending I'm a grownup. It makes mundane chores a lot more fun. Shilpan, Thanks again for the kind words. I've just glanced at your post but plan to read it more thoroughly tomorrow... and to leave a comment. I wanted to get my new theme up while I was still immersed in it. It actually seems to be working. :) I ended up modifying the Copyblogger theme...that was enough of a stretch at the moment. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Darren, You're right, it does take a bit of courage to jump in and start messing about. And it is fun. David, I plan to read your latest post too. I would love to be included in your next round-up. Rachel, :) Thank you for that great picture. It warms my heart and makes me smile. It reminds me of how I feel sometimes after I've been messing about. bikehikebabe,

I like the statement of Craiglist's CEO as well. I came to this great nation 17 years ago on a mission to accomplish something on my own. My father had a big business and I'm the only son but I wanted to chart my own course and I'm glad that I did. I know that my father is proud of me as well. I've shared my story in the post at the detail but it comes down to what you're discussing here. Once you find what you love to do, challenges go away. http://www.successsoul.com/2008/05/31/how-i-transformed-my-life-with-these-5-simple-thoughts/ Please read my post if time permits. I'm stumbling your post as it always inspires me. Shilpan Jean,
