Want to go kiteboarding? <br /><br />Steve - that's awesome that you have been able to balance your passion for music with work and family. I think half the battle or more is making it important enough to not fall to the bottom of the list. I've learned that if I go to long without getting over the "Mommy guilt" of doing something for myself, I'm not a happy Mom, and that's just no fun for anyone. We actually set a better example for our kids by showing them what it looks like to be happy. <br /><br />Anonymous - thanks for the tip. I hadn't thought of Sheb. I'll check it out. Denise – bring it! Want to go kiteboarding?

Great wind, great beaches, great kite boarding community. One of the best places to kiteboard is right up the lake from you in Sheboygan. Great wind, great beaches, great kite boarding community.

I'm an IT geek and a musician, and very passionate and excited about both. Often after a long day, at around 9pm when the kids are in bed, I just fire up the coffee pot and start playing. Not all passions allow for simultaneous pursuit, but many do at some level. And I admire how you take the occassional break and do something completely different. A lot of people were envious of you when you left the agency to go learn photography. How cool was that? So, many different strategies, but anyone following their passion is going to much more satisfied in their life. This is it. One chance (at least for most of us...) -- Steve D.
