It's Fun Friday! - Kiddie edition

Since giving birth to my baby boy, Emerson, in November, I've become motivated and inspired by the writings of Dr. Seuss. Each book offers a wonderful life lesson that - whether you're a kid or an adult - you can learn from.

I especially am drawn to Oh! The Places You'll Go!. It's therapy for adults. Seriously. Especially adults who recently lost their jobs. When employers pass you a pink slip, they also should deliver you a hard copy of this classic.


As I read this book to Emerson time and time again, I'm reminded that life has ups and downs, but I'll survive and come out on the other end of each situation even stronger.

“So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.”

I'll move mountains?! Really!? 

OK, so in honor of the brilliant Seuss and my son and all children, I dedicate this Fun Friday to searching for jobs that will foster the kid within me. 

Here are my top picks:
1. Children's book publishers
2. Amusement parks
3. Nonprofits dedicated to kids
4. Children's hospitals
5. Public school systems
6. Museums
7. Toy and video game manufacturers

What are your suggestions for me on jobs that will bring out my inner child?

Have a fantastic weekend, friends! And here's one more goodie from my buddy Dr. Seuss ... 

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”
