What do you want to be when you grow up?

We are asked this question from the time we go to school as kindergartners. We always change our minds first we want to be ballerinas, singers, firefighters, policeman, astronauts and things of that nature. We either change our minds because we lose interest or someone has convinced us that that job is not what we think it will be and shut our dream down.

Or perhaps we truly don't know what you want to do. Well, I hope that I can help.

What are your interests or hobbies? If you truly love doing something you can be successful at it.

For example, if you like to sew or cook maybe you can teach a class. If you like video games or movies, why not try being a critic of new material? If you like working out, how about becoming a personal trainer or physical therapist?

Sit down and ask yourself what you truly enjoy doing and then do some research. What can you do with what you truly love and skills that you already possess or could learn?

And if you do know what you want to do, I am here to tell you that if you really want to do something then strive for it! Don't let anyone tell you that you can't.

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
