@beanz challenged us to answer this question:

Who would you be if there was nothing to stop you?

^ _{That's the link to her post} ^

v ^{And that's me playing with power tools} v

If money was no object...
If time and health was on your side...
If you were only beholden to yourself without family obligation...
If responsibilities weren't holding you back...
If time and space weren't obstacles...

She asks, "What would you get? What would you do? Who would you be?

So here I sit contemplating life, the universe, and the lint from my husband's bellybutton...

^{A super close-up. He leaves them for me because it amuses him.
He was wearing a green shirt. Can you tell?}

I dare to dream

If I had no obstacles...
If I could point to something and say, "I want that"...
If I could wish something true for my future...

My dream home

• I dream of acquiring a tract of land to build our home.
  ^{My husband has an Associate's degree with a concentration in engineering and architecture. He loves to draw floor plans for our perfect home. We want to build our own and currently looking into Earthbag (adobe) homes.}
• To be as self-sufficient as possible without losing all of the creature comforts.
• I want an aquaponics system to grow my own food and harvest fresh fish.
• I want chickens and pigs.

My dream job

Hubby and I share the same passion for helping people. We both grew up in the food service business; both our parents had a bar/restaurant. We grew up watching our parents donate their time and resources to worthy causes.

Pat and I dream of having a mobile commercial kitchen that would travel to disaster areas to feed and nurture the survivors and first responders.

There's nothing cushy about it. Fundraising, awareness, response, and hard work in devastated areas.

I don't need to travel the world on a permanent vacation. I personally don't require millions in the bank. I want to live simply and give freely.

But I'm no saint. I definitely want stuff

Rather, there is one little indulgence...
It's something that I've always wanted...

A Volkswagen Beetle manufactured between 1968 and 1971. It's my dream car!

Isn't it adorable?

And if I could wish something true

I wish my children to be fine young men. To find true love and happiness. To appreciate their life and remain healthy. To be of a giving spirit. To live a live of fulfillment.

That is my sincerest wish because they are my legacy.
