Live What You Love!

If you could do what you love everyday, what would it be?

"If we don't love it, we don't do it!"

Wouldn’t it feel great to wake up each morning excited about the day ahead and fall to sleep each night feeling fulfilled? 

What would that mean for you?  If you could do what you love every day, what would it be?   Don’t you love to find people who embrace the “Live What You Love” lifestyle?  I sure do and I’d love to share a recent ‘find’ with you . . .  

Last year our family flew away from the cold Ohio winter to enjoy a sun-filled week on Captiva Island in Florida.  One day we drove to the nearby island of Sanibel to check out some of the shops.  We found a neat little book store, which of course I had to investigate.  I was led to a book by Bob and Melinda Blanchard titled Live What You Love and was inspired from the first page!

Bob and Melinda are from Vermont and are self named serial entrepreneurs.  They’ve started at least eight businesses together from specialty foods to a restaurant on the Caribbean island of Anguilla and are perfectly happy leading an unusual life!  While their choices might be too risky for some, their motto of, “If we don’t love it, we don’t do it!”, is one that many of us might benefit from.  This motto definitely doesn’t apply to their work ethic.  They’re willing to do whatever it takes to make their businesses succeed, they just don’t begin any business they aren’t passionate about!  I really enjoyed reading a second book of theirs titled A Trip To The Beach.  It documents the amazing adventure of their decision to build and open Blanchard’s Restaurant on the Caribbean island where they first vacationed.  Their path of an unusual life began with the birth of their son which was when they decided they didn’t want to spend their life apart from each other.  Bob and Melinda decided to replace time lines and conventional choices with adventure and dreams.  Theirs is an inspiring tale of living what you love.  If you would like to learn more, you can visit their website at www.blanchardsrestaurant.com .

May this blog inspire you to let your “Live What You Love” adventure begin!
