Passion

What is your passion? What is my passion?


I don't know if I've ever "put this out there" but, I have arthritis. For over 19 years now. I've gone through numerous treatments over the years and a couple of different specialists. Now I volunteer with the Arthritis Foundation every chance I get.

That being said, with or with out having a chronic disease, my passion is making people feel good about themselves and showing them they are important and cared about.

In a word; my passion is love.

I have been trying to nail down a one word definition for my passion for quite some time, and there it is.

So why am I not doing more about it?

Do you work with your passion? Are you one of those "lucky" ones that are passionate about their career?

Why am I not working in what I'm passionate about? Why am I wasting time working in an industry that I'm not passionate about?

Hello from Anaheim California!

You'll have to forgive this post, I have a LOT on my mind and a lot to put ( I hope) and I'm hungry..and when I get hungry, pretty much everything goes out the window. We'll see if I can type something up while my hair drys and before I go explore for breakfast!

My friend (for about 20 years now, wow!) Cassie, has a conference to attend and didn't want to go alone! So she asked me to come along! We are staying at one of the DisneyLand Resorts! Paradise Pier!

I have been wanting to visit California for quite a few years. Even though I am saving up for a home of my own, It falls under "Start taking actions to things YOU want". So here I am!

This is a semi-solo vacation; meaning, Cassie will be in her conference everyday from 7:30-4:15. So I will have the days to myself, and nights Cassie and I will get hang out! I WILL touch the Pacific Ocean this weekend! (yep, another first!)

It is morning one; Cassie is already off to work; I spent about an hour researching Charity Events (because yes, that's right, this girl is going to put on her OWN charity event! By herself! gulp), watching the local news, and taking the LONGEST hot shower! Today, I am going out to eat by myself for the first time. ever. Yeah, I've gone to Wendys or something on my lunch by myself. But this is verrrrry different. I am going to sit down at a table for two, alone, and read the USA Today. It's exhilarating!

Here's the deal California: each day is an opportunity to do something new! New Place, Food, Experience, HairStyle, Anything!

That being said; I am off :)

Day 1

So this is my 4th blog.

I thought about starting up where I left off on my Actions Blog, but then I went back and re-read some of my entries and thought it's better to start fresh!

I am determined to experience as many things as possible in this short life of mine. Starting today I am going to blog my adventures, in new things I try.

Today, for example, I joined a gym for the first time! I did the elliptical, the bike, some sort of ab machine, and sit ups on the balance ball! I am hoping to feel a little sore tomorrow!

No pain No gain.

I wanna keep it light, so I'll say goodnight! (yep..I rhymed on purpose!)
