Find Your Passion




If you have not seen Steve Harvey's show, Little Big Shots, do yourself a favour and watch an episode. What I love about the show is being able to see these young children who have found their passion in life at such an early age. It is amazing how talented these kids are. I can't help but admire and envy them at the same time.

I have always been a person who is good at many things, but not exceptional at any one thing. I used to think that it would be wonderful to know what my one great gift was and to pursue it and make it my life's vocation. If you have a great gift like that, I hope you nurture it and share it with the world.

If you haven't found it, it is not too late. It might not be just one thing and you might not be the best in the world at it. The important thing is that you use your gifts. That is what you are meant to do with them.

For me, I think one of my gifts is being willing to try new things. I may never be incredibly talented at just one thing, but I can be moderately talented at many things. My passion is having new and interesting experiences at every stage of life. That is part of what makes life exciting for me.

Whether you have one main passion or many, do something everyday with your gifts and passions and share your joie de vie with the world. It might not change the world, but it will change your world in a very positive way.

Spring is a Fresh Start



This is the time of year when I feel like I am coming out of hibernation. I want to walk and run outdoors. I love seeing children outside playing. I see people I haven't seen since the fall coming out of their houses and enjoying the world around them.

Mentally, I feel like I am coming out of hibernation as well. I feel ready to tackle new projects: Spring Cleaning, A New Book, A New Health Regime! Suddenly I have more energy and am ready to take on challenges that seemed too heavy during the winter months.

Spring is the time for rebirth. What is something that you would love to start this Spring? What is something that would make you feel more alive, more excited about your life? It doesn't have to be big. Even contemplating something you would like to do is a step toward achieving it.

I'd love to hear any about the any seeds you'd like to plant for yourself this Spring!
