Hello y’all,

How does one find passion………can you really lose it………what if I never had it………why do I need it……….

Strong emotion, adoration, love, intensity, spirit, joy, dedication, excitement, devotion, anger, fire, ecstasy, frenzy, zeal……the list goes on and on. All of these words mean passion.

Passion for your work, Passion for your hobby, Passion for your life and most importantly Passion for the life of others. I was very fortunate to have a very positive influence in my life, my mother. The Best! Although she is no longer here on earth she is forever in my soul and she taught me so many lessons about passion.

Oh sure passion can be overwhelming, passion can be impatient, passion can even bring heartbreak.

And right about now you might be saying, okay already…… do I really want to go through all that again and again and again.

I hear you……and I won’t sit here and tell you that you will never feel overwhelmed, impatient or heartbreak ever again…….(hey trust me, we all have thought….if I just had that magic wand) Ha……..well the magic wand may not exist but I do have faith.

No, I am not here to preach a certain belief.

Faith has many many meanings.

Faith means confidence or trust in a person or thing, Faith means belief that is not based on proof, Faith means an obligation of loyalty or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement and yes Faith means belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion.

So you see Faith has many meanings. My mother taught me to always believe in yourself, have faith in yourself….it warms your soul. Always believe in others, have faith in others…..it warms their souls.

So you can see, you already have all the ingredients for my Passion Pie…..Make it today, make it whenever you may be feeling overwhelmed, make it when you start to lose your patience, make it when you feel heartbreak. Sometimes you may just need a slice, other times you may need the entire pie…….so what……….eat it all up………be all you can……..you already have all the ingredients……. pull them out, mix them up and show your passion.

Here’s a partial list of my ingredients…..
