I think that the world changes so much these days, that it is a life long search at this stage. That is an eclectic resume. I am 31, and ask myself all the same questions.

My husband and I have opened up a business and so often I get that panicky feeling of "what the heck are we doing?". We've been in business for just over a year and according to business gudeliness we are doing o.k. but according to my neurotic (need to feel save in the financial department) self, I am freaking out! so I can totally relate to the feelig of "I don't know what I'm doing!" but it will take shape given time! I, at least, try to believe this for myself! oh Roni, I so hear you on this one! My husband and I have opened up a business and so often I get that panicky feeling of “what the heck are we doing?”.

Since you talked about contests, videos and how much you enjoy doing them I thought I would mention that in your videos you tend to pause ans say "uumm" alot. That might be one thing you could work on to make your videos more food network compatible. ok, I’ve debated about posting this because I love your site and I love Green Lite Bites and I do not want to make you feel bad because I really think you’re FABULOUS and admire you greatly so please take this as constructive criticism.

I know you're going to be even MORE famous for it someday. Someone just needs to show your cute videos to Oprah or Rachel Ray to get you started. Really, you're such a fun and lovely person I know that you will fulfill ALL your dreams!! Roni,

I am also 32 and right now am a stay-at-home mom. I had 5 different majors in college because I coudn't make up my mind. Then I didn't even do anything with my degree. I am hoping at some point to know what I want to be. Roni

I guess the only thing I have figured out is that people are constantly searching... Even when you think you've found exactly where you want to be, you'll be searching for something else. something different. something new. I think movies and books put successful people in the category where they are set in doing what they love and have "always known" what they wanted to do when in reality, that is so rare!! i've heard that like 70% (or something high like that) of people end up getting a career in something different from what they got their degree in! Anyway, sorry for rambling but keep your head up and know that while you might be confused in what you are doing, you are touching the lives of all of your readers!! And how ironic is it, that you help us feel less lost than we are!?!? This world is a funny place!! =) Aww Roni… there is something comforting about knowing that someone who you think has the ideal situation is just as lost as you are!

I so understand the frustration and confusion of "not knowing" what I want to be when I grow up! I see myself so much in what you wrote. I have never, for the most part, known exactly what I wanted to do. I have pretty much carved my path through deductions of what I knew I didn't want to do. I think I'm in the arena these days (as are you), but am far from hitting the nail on the head! Part of what I am constantly reminding myself is that I have to find the joy and happiness in the journey, not the destination!! You have done amazing things, I mean c'mon... you are blogging for a living! You have literally created your path and your job! It takes a lot of courage to step outside the "norms" of society and follow your passions and you are doing it. You don't need to know exactly where you will end or how you will get there, just keep putting your intentions out there and keep on moving forward. The fact that you allow yourself to feel and explore all of these emotions is proof that you will continue to grow and move forward in life... I know first hand the emotional roller coaster that life can take you on when you choose to confront all of your fears and doubts and girl' you certainly take them all head on! I know you will pull through this moment like you always do, but in the meantime just be in it. I so wish we lived in the same area... I'm telling you, we could have some GREAT conversations!

I'm almost 10 years older than you and I would still classify myself as searching for what I want to do when I grow up. But, here's where I diverge from you just a little. Once I got out of the professional work world to stay home with my kids, I realized I was exactly where I wanted to be at that time. Of course, there were many days when my dh came home to find me extremely stressed out by kids' meltdowns and tantrums, but whenever he jokingly suggested that I put the kids in daycare and return to work, I shut him right down. I think what I've learned in the past 7 years is that there is no one thing that is the right thing. At different stages in your life, you'll be ready for different opportunities. I think you're doing a great job of sampling a little bit of a lot of things and putting them together in the right way for you. The happiest people are probably the ones that create the right job and family situations for themselves. I really admire your ability to jump into new areas with both feet AND to share that with all of us in the blogosphere. Roni,

You are doing awesome. I love your sites and I think you are helping so many people. It's ok. This too shall pass. You are truly amazing and such an inspiration. Without all of the motivational and inspirational things you've posted, I really don't think I would be on the weightloss path I would be on. If what you are doing is what you love or enjoy, keep it up! Thank you Roni! -Melissa Roni,
