Dancemaker

If you do what you love, and keep working, over the years, many blessings released into the world as wishes for harmony manifest, with gratitude.

It is not true, do what you love, and the money will follow, perhaps oneʻs ashes, or perhaps it is yet to come. I have not found this to yet be manifest, do to what you love, and money will follow.
