the other six sides

I have been part of an online networking group since 2005.  The woman who runs the group (Liz Ryan) recently posted this exercise, which I thought was very interesting.  I would love to know about any of my readers' other six sides!
**************
From Liz Ryan:  You're going to list six jobs you'd hold, if you had six lifetimes in which to hold them (or if you could find a way to juggle six identities in one lifetime).  No details -- just the list, please. Thinking through WHAT ELSE COULD I DO? is a good way to understand which pieces of ourselves are trying to be heard and felt and energized.  Here's Liz's list. I'm a workplace commentator/consultant/coach/writer now. If I had six more sandboxes to play in, they'd be these: 

Broadway performer

Radio talk-show host

Visual artist (drawing & painting)

Coach/teacher to opera and MT performers

Shoe designer

Screenwriter

************* 
My response:  In my daily life, I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend and a software support technician. If I had 6 lifetimes and unlimited funds to be something else, I would have these professions, in no particular order:

1 - reading teacher to illiterate adults in the US

2 - philanthropist to get clean drinking water to every person on the planet

3 - residential architect

4 - fundraiser for cancer research (other than breast cancer)

5 - home organizer / interior decorator

6 - second soprano in the Colorado Chorale

How about you?
