What's Your Passion...

Passion a seven letter word  meaning an intense desire or enthusiasm for something. 

As children we all have passions.They start out disguised as day dreams when were little and then something happens...we turn into teenagers and the word "CAN'T" manages to creep into our vocabulary.

I've never understood the word CAN'T. If you're passionate about a new hobby or adventure and it doesn't work out...guess what...you have what's call a "do over" button just like the video games we all play. "Do overs" are awesome because you keep doing it over until you find your niche. The phrase "keep moving forward" comes to mind.

I have many passions and am so fortunate my parents support all my crazy ideas. Every once in a while they have that deer in the headlight look when I'm telling them about some crazy idea I want to try out. I have to remind them of all the episodes of dancing with air guitars to their fabulous 70s & 80s music which typically gets me the go ahead and do it nod. Yes, my DAD is a super awesome dude! 

So what are my passions? 

I passionate about sketching, designing, and sewing clothes. I'm passionate about making jewelry and baking!

I'm passionate about playing the violin. Imagine my passionate filled practice sessions in the 3rd grade. My parents always had that kind of pained expression, you know the one with the deranged smile, reassuring me that I sounded AWESOME!


I'm passionate about hunting...I will refrain from posting any pictures. Let just say this is the Aunt Natalie clause, "Never show pictures of your first kill of the season". Love her to death but surely don't want to traumatize her. 

I'm passionate about my friends...not so passionate about the girl drama! What is it with DRAMA. Don't get it never will. Life is too short for drama!

I'm passionate about my family! They are such an eclectic group. Most would deem them certifiable but they're mine...all mine...and I wouldn't trade them for all the money in the world!

May your Saturday be filled with passionate friends, family, hobbies, a few do overs, AND keep moving forward ;)!!!
