Thanks for stopping by…I can understand and remember how challenging blogging can be while you have a job. I am really amazed at how much (awesome) content you produce while you hold down your gig. I am also glad that you followed the advice to start a blog (and also that you decided not to explore politics). You do have a gift for writing and it seems that you write about many things that I can strongly identify with. Have a great weekend!

Before I get into what I wanted to say in reaction to your post (which was awesome, btw), I have to first apologize for taking so long to finally make it to your blog. I have been meaning to but my day job can be insane. So now that I am off from work, I made my way here.

Your story is so wonderful because it kind of proves that we all get guidance in some way or another, the problem is whether we follow it or not. I am happy that you followed it because it brought you such joy. Yay for you!

As for me, one the greatest pieces of advice someone gave me, was after my mom passed away. Someone suggested that I write a blog on politics. I had no desire to write about politics but the idea of a blog felt right. It took two years until I was actually ready to go ahead and create a blog. I am so glad that I did. It has been a total gift.

Hope all is well!

Thanks for sharing that…I know that seems like very simple and basic advice, but it is so important these days. I think some of his advice rubbed off on me, as well, because I have a similar philosophy.

Thanks for stopping by and for the good wishes, I appreciate it…sounds like your dad gave you some very profound advice that has helped you make some important decisions. I remember similar advice that my dad gave me. Have a great day!

Best advice I received (thanks Dad) was “If you can’t pay for it, don’t buy it”. It seems nowadays this lesson is lost by some.

Good for you for taking the improv class. I remember Tim Kazurinsky, too. Isn’t is great to have these moments, and to later have the satisfaction to have acted on the advice (no pun intended).

Great advice? Hmmm…well, there has been lots of great advice in my life. I think the best little tid bit came from my dad, when I asked him about a career move I was considering. He simply said, “Just make sure you’re having fun, honey. If it sounds fun, do it!”

I enjoyed your post today, Tim. Thank you for sharing this story!
