Nathalie is a lovely reader from Ireland and a fellow blogger who commented on an earlier post today asking about a statement I made along the lines of doing what you are meant to do in this world. Nathalie expressed that she's in search of her calling and started her design blog as a way to explore a world that she feels connected to and that gives her happiness, but she sees herself doing more. "I love design, interiors, art but am not sure which area to focus on," Nathalie continues, "I know the day I will find out I will definitely go for it."

She then asks, "Do you have any suggestions on how to find your calling in the design world? Is there anyone out there that feels the same way? What are we supposed to do when we don't know?".

This is a great topic Nathalie. Really. Great. I can't wait to explore it here on decor8. I have a million ideas to share including how important it is to carry an umbrella (ella ella) with you as you travel down your newfound path. I'll also explain what type of umbrella I speak of. I will work on rounding up 10 people including myself that have found their calling and I'll ask them exactly how they did it and post that here along with their advice on how anyone can find their voice. We'll get you the answers that you need, Nathalie!

If YOU readers have any tips or questions on this topic, please leave them below so I can include them in next week's article.

Stay tuned and thank you for getting the ball rolling on this topic, Nathalie!
