Thank you all so much for your wonderful, thoughtful replies.
lprstn-I think you are right, I probably have been too comfortable and afraid to take risks. I do need to think outside the box "that I painted myself in". That statement has really made me think. I am going to continue to research life coaching because I think I need someone to point that stuff out to me!
Diane-what is your current profession? What does a social worker for several years do as a second act? I think part of my issue may be the fact that I have seen the saddest of the sad in my 21 year career. I have worked with child abuse, neglect, sick young adults, and now older adults. Although it has been very rewarding I think I need to do something happier or at least less conflict based. Being a greeter at Disney World has always sounded so fun to me.
vacationhopeful- I definitely have wondered if I have adult attention deficit disorder. I have never done anything about it because I keep reading about women my age and our hormones causing those types of symptoms.
pjrose- I do write many stories down as I have been involved in a Living History program. Unfortunately my corporate office does not really see that as an important use of my work time.... but I do slip it in as much as possible. I do like to write...I had never thought about doing anything with it.
I am going to read this thread over and over again. The words of wisdom are so valuable. I really appreciate all of your advice and am going to keep searching!!
