Given how my mind works and my personality, I think I would have more than three jobs that I would love to do in this lifetime! I would love to be:
A baker, bringing comfort to people through warm bread and sweet treats that make ordinary days feel special. Or maybe a dog groomer or pet sitter, spending my days with animals who remind me to live in the moment without overthinking everything. I would love to work in a library as a librarian, surrounded by stories and helping people discover their next favorite read. Or work in a bookstore, where I could talk about books all day and connect readers with stories that might change their lives the way books have changed mine. Or volunteer in old age homes, listening to the stories of those who have lived full lives and have so much wisdom to share.
Working in a flower shop would be a dream, arranging blooms and creating beauty that marks life’s celebrations and comforts during its hardships. Or maybe in an art studio, where creativity flows freely and every day brings something new to discover about color, texture, and expression. I could also see myself working in a gym or maybe in a running-specific shop like REI or Runner’s Roast or Fleet Feet, helping others find the gear and motivation to push their limits. Or maybe work in a spa or as a beautician, helping people feel their best and take care of themselves in a world that constantly demands more from us.
Yeah, I think that’s it. For now.
