If I should trade the New (york) for the New (orleans). And leave my beautiful, loving community to shift gears and dig in to a new creative work and life path in teaching more theatre with new (also beautiful) communities.

How to balance my work, my marriage, and how to be a new father.

Living the "senior years" with quality.

Kris

Whether I'm going to keep writing after this baby is born or take an abrupt hairpin turn and try something completely different.

Julia Guerrero

I have a very fulfilling, hard-to-find, wonderful job which is also an inflexible, full-time position. I also have a charming baby boy who I want to spend more time with. Even though I love my career, the only thing I jump out of bed in the morning for is being with him and showing him how wonderful the world is.

Do I take the leap?

Marcy

Long ago, my son - now 27, then 9 or 10, said this to me, "Mom, mom. You gotta make a decision. If you want to be rich and famous, you CAN'T be both an artist and an art historian. You gotta chose one!"
Well, I have NOT chosen one. I have spent my adult life as an artist AND an art historian. And my son was right! I am not rich and/or famous!
Actually, my goal is NOT to become rich and fameous, but as I get older and older, I am finding it harder and harder to push my art to the limit, because part of my time is spent with my art history endeavors.
Shall I give up art history and focus all of my energy on my art?
Thanks for any advice, Miranda!

Aurora

The essential dilemma of my life is ... should I torture myself and try to make myself focus on one juicy function to concentrate my nectars in one delicious but difficult and slavishly dedicated opus that would be like the guy being blown away
by the stereo on the couch, except me to humanity, or continue on the fayrie path of least resistance and greatest rapturous bliss in each moment forgoing material foundation with the glee of being? or randomly doing what I feel like? And if yes to the first part how do I pull it off?

Crystal

Well I want to start a garden, but I'm wondering if raccoons and slugs will defeat my efforts. Miranda July please help me!

Timo

Stuck in a job rut.

Jaffa

Should I focus on staying in the city I live and working here or think about moving and maybe having more options but also that's a little scary, so I don't know?

Philip

Starting a new venture in Palm Beach, Florida.

Grant

I have all these ideas, and can't seem to put them on paper. Im a college study pretending to be a screen writer and I have no motivation.

Jennifer

I'm uncertain about what I should do with my life. Go to film school? Stay with my boyfriend or break up - and all either decision entails. It sounds kind of boring. And it is. But I'm stuck. So maybe that's the essential dilemma. I'm stuck and bored with it.

mimi

I am an octogenarian & just recently had my first and second children's books published. I am now working on a very special manuscript & because of my age, am worried that I might not finish it on time. (this is really a 2 fold question)
What can I do to aid my production, my energy and my output so that I CAN not only complete it but see its acceptance and hopefully some financial success. Although my last 2 books, my only books, were Junior Library Guild Selections they were not financially successful. Anyone that read them loved them but you need to do a lot of publicity & I'm ignorant of how to go about it and where to go. the publishers no longer do what they used to do to promote a book. What do you suggest to promote it? And I feel that this one is so unique, so unusual in its approach and format that I'm anticipating good reviews which the others rec'd. How can I help myself?? Multo grazie, mimi

Margot

Ought I be pursuing work as a chaplain at the new hospice unit at Bellevue, or devoting myself to writing my book of obituaries about the people, one old car, and one small dog, that have defined who I have chosen to become?

shannonine

full-time position in Higher Education! How can I get/keep one? should I go back to school to study, should i stick with education or change majors...?

Grace

There are layers of this dilemma but the essential part is this: a year ago I had a dream where I unlocked an ancient wall, and behind it an archive. Inside the archive was an ancient, magnificent, massive piece of parchment. I believe this parchment holds a clue about my future and, secretly, about my destiny. The author's identity was clear, but the writing was illegible and the fabric deteriorated in front of my eyes. I was not able to make sense of the writing; it's author is deceased, and I feel like a boat with no compass. Do you think I'll come across the parchment again and understand it better? How will I recognize it if it's in a different form? Thank you!

Stefan

What should I do to pay the bills? My current career is only somewhat satisfying to my soul and barely tenable fiscally but I feel trapped by my resume and alternately overwhelmed and inspired by the things I could do in the time I spend trying to make money.

Heather

I'm good at lots of things and can't pick a career.

Margot

I don't know what to do with my life and I'm almost 30!!!!! My plan of purchasing a winning lottery ticket and owning an adorable coffee shop/vintage store (in the South of France) didn't pan out. I'm back in college, biting the skin off my fingers, trying to decide whether I should major in sociology or if I should just sell lame sock puppets on Etsy. Le sigh...
