Today is the beginning of a new passion: blogging!
In my lifetime, I have had a variety of goals, which I achieved due to one common factor: passion. I have had an overwhelming need and desire to reach those goals, often at the expense of my own health and well-being. I have felt passionately about many areas of life. I dove head first into earning college credits during high school, moving out of my parents’ home as soon as I graduated, attempting to save my dilapidated marriage(s), becoming a teacher, raising wonderful human beings despite hardships, pursuing a relationship with God, and too many other endeavors to count.
I have had no business achieving some of these goals, but the true fire inside of me would not allow me to quit until I felt some sort of success. Many of these stories in which I will share my pursuit of passion will include nights of complete and total exhaustion as I studied or stayed awake with worry and fear. Other stories will be examples of opening my eyes and my heart to the passion brought on by new opportunities and allowing the experiences to flow right through me.
Sometimes, though, the fire fizzled right out of me before I was able to see things through to the end. Or, I was living in too much fear to see the open doors and brilliant paths. Either way, I missed out.
This blog, with its infinite possibilities for topics, is my current attempt at seizing the opportunity to live the life I was created to live and to pursue my current passion of sharing myself with all of you. I intend to be fully and authentically transparent, telling my hard truths and my amazing journeys along the way.
I am in pursuit. I hope you enjoy the ride!
