What’s your red rubber ball?

I don’t usually post book reviews but I can’t help myself.  I’m in the process of sorting out my current career  versus employment bliss.  So my sister suggests I read   Rules of the Red Rubber Ball by Kevin Carroll.  This book is an inspirational guide to seeking and sustaining your life’s passion or as Kevin calls it, your red rubber ball).  If you already know what your red rubber ball is and just need a little push, this book is a great source of encouragement and will definitely light the fire under your pants.    Have you read this book? Even if you haven’t, what’s your red rubber ball?  I guess mine would be doing something creative everyday. I’d love to have enough skills to someday be a photographer or own a shop.  Meanwhile I’m sticking with blogging because it’s my vessel for creativity.  Happy weekend everyone.  Here’s to finding your passion and getting to immerse your life in it!

    How about juggling? Does it say anything about that? You’ve got to be a juggler if your a mom! Have a great day and weekend! :)

    I’m getting this book. Honestly, I’m not positive I know what my red rubber ball is yet; still trying to figure that one out, but I have a feeling it might be celebrating every day.

  4. I think I need to read this book, asap! My red rubber ball? I’m sort of at the point where I can sort of see it bouncing in front of me but I haven’t quite caught up to it yet to see what it is. If that makes sense. So for now it bounces and I run after it, but I suppose as long as I’m moving I’ll get somewhere =)
    Have a great weekend!

    I am SHOCKED by how much I love interacting with readers online and managing three social media accounts. Is it my red rubber ball? Hmmmmmm….Does the title come from the A.A. Milne poem?

  13. I’m not quite sure what my red rubber ball would be… this book definitely sounds interesting though!
