s/o if you didnt have to work
What are some thing you're passionate about and would want to do if you could.
Me - IDK. I feel like I am lacking in that department. It's something I'm working on.
*The only way to dream is big*

I volunteer with a domestic violence shelter so I would keep doing that.
I love dogs and baking and would love to open a dog bakery or just a puppy cuddling business.
I am passionate about volunteer work for like the food pantry, painting temporarily shelter and upkeeping their gardens and playgrounds and etc. I have developed a lot of relationships and friendships through this channel and go home feeling really good.
I would like to some day advance to deeper missions such as out of country missions helping those who are in poverty and disaster stricken areas by helping them start an above garden, coming up with simple technologies for them to save water and etc.
I used to want to help women with domestic violence but I later learned that I was not ready to be in that mindset or environment where there are so many triggers. But, this desire generated a big desire for me to want to work with children and help them be empowered and gain better self esteem in hope they avoid being involved with domestic violence later in their lives.
I would love to coach soccer. I have played my whole life and would love to coach high school or middle school. I plan to coach DD as she grows should she choose to play.
I could coach DD in softball, basketball or swimming... but I couldn't take her past the little league stage.
I also love ceramics and sewing. If I had more time I would do this much more often.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
This is my dream job, but I need to go back to school to finish my degree -- something I'm planning on doing in the near future.
I volunteer at a local cancer clinic and at a food pantry. I didn't realize I "retired" when my husband died, but I stopped working at that point with the intention of returning, but something always gets in the way of going back. Usually it's the volunteering. I love doing that in both places, although I use very different skill sets at each place.
Writing. I love to write stories, I just need to actually finish one. Maybe if I stop basing them on my life I will....
Honestly, I would to be able to help teach people about basic finances. I have had so many of my friends tell me that they have learned so much from me and it really makes me feel good. I don't understand investment very well, but basics like budgeting, saving, etc. I excel at (I'm also an accountant)
My "if-money-were-no-object" dream is to open a no kill dog rescue where I would keep as many dogs as possible (in a safe/clean environment) while I find good loving homes for them. If they were too old to be adopted I would just keep them for the rest of their lives.
Also this hypothetical rescue would be a large piece of land that I also owned/lived on so I wouldn't have to do anything else but raise my kids and care for the animals.
ETA: which I realize would be a lot WORK but it would be work I enjoy doing plus I would be saving lives.
