Hi Polly,
Gues its how do you break out of your persona, can you, should you? I make my living as a construction engineer building hiways and bridges, and generally rearanging the landscape. I love it! But, when I come home, I paint pretty pictures, and write pretty poems, and cook gourmet food. I really would like the latter to be taken as seriously as the former. Can it, should it?
