I always told my parents that I would be a "flower arranger" (aka florist). I deviated from that path a lot along the way, but I too have come full circle back to my 6 year old dreams :) Isn't life funny? Maybe we should listen to ourselves as kids more often.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653136491224454275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-19711650753670747732011-04-22T07:26:08.396-07:002011-04-22T07:26:08.396-07:00What a great post!

At age 8 I wanted to be a carpenter and loved the lumber yard-- I still do.<br />I thought I was the only little girl who had that dream! I also intended to become a teacher- and at some point thought I wanted to go into advertising marketing. Guess what they all came true for me too!
