So, I've been talking and complaining for weeks about finding something that I really want to do and this weekend, I finally found it!! I've decided that I am going to become a motivational speaker. While I figure that I really can talk about pretty much anything, the newest plan is to specialize in teaching women (who are 10 times more likely to attend a motivational seminar) how to...well, so I haven't figured out exactly what I'm going to specialize in YET, but by the end of the day, I'm certain that I'll have an idea. I was thinking about money management until I realized that I am also horrible at it. Then, I thought about being an expert on making yourself beautiful/feeling good about yourself. While I feel terrific about myself (as I am ridiculously good looking), I'm not sure that anyone would look at me and think that I am an expert at looking good (mostly due to my penchant of wearing overalls and flip flops whenever I can get away with it).
Anyway, I'm feeling better about life mostly because I now have a direction. I guess that I'll have to start with charitable speaking...or perhaps bribing different groups to give my, "The World According To Erin" talks at their gatherings. As soon as I get semi-famous in this area, I'm sure to get on Oprah and from there, I plan to write a self-help book entitled, "How to Help Yourself When Yourself Sucks".
Good thing I've thought this through and now have a plan. Even the REAL motivational speakers have to admire and respect THAT. Oh! A new topic plan is starting in my brain even as we speak. I'm going to mesh it out and get back to you. And, if you require my speaking services at anytime, please let my know by calling 1-800-ERI-TALKS.

When you get home, T, you have to watch, "School for Scoundrels". Hilarious. He uses that line in it, "How many of you own a self help book? (all raise hands) Well, that's stupid. How can you help yourself when yourself sucks? Helping yourself is like being helped by a complete asshole."
