My Dream Job

Today's #NaBloPoMo prompt is such a great question. It really gets at your deep down dreams, the stuff you don't ever admit out loud. I've been pretty open in my posts this month, so my response shouldn't be a huge surprise.

If money or expertise were no concern, I would love to be primarily a yoga/meditation instructor and a freelance writer. These are activities I enjoy and would love to share with the world. My core values include peace of mind, spiritual awareness, dedication to a social cause and serving others. I feel these ideal jobs would help me live those values in my day-to-day life best.


I do have plans to eventually teach yoga, and I'm excited because last night I started taking classes again at YogaWorks at their Valencia branch. I have been going to classes at their Larchmont branch for the last year, but with the move, the Valencia branch is just way closer.

It felt so good to be back in the studio and moving my body in gentle, but purposeful ways. I hadn't realized how much I missed yoga class until I was there. My plan is to go as often as possible and build my yoga practice and start off with my 200 hr certification towards the end of next year. After that, I will work towards my 500 hour certification, and I would like to focus primarily on teaching yoga to those with chronic illnesses such as lupus. I've found it to be so helpful in my disease management, and I've really felt the difference not going to classes the last few months.


My other dream is to be a writer. I feel like I have a novel in me, but it just hasn't risen to the surface. Every so often, paragraphs float in my head, but they haven't become cohesive yet. I would REALLY love to be a freelance writer for magazines focusing on wellness for people with chronic illnesses. I feel I bring a unique perspective, not only being someone with a chronic disease, but also as someone who has the professional experience creating programs for people with chronic illnesses for several years.

What are your deep hidden dream jobs??
