FIND YOUR PASSION
5 years ago, I had a crisis on my hands. I was 55 years old and I was downsized from my corporate position. I was single, broke and had just lost the only thing that gave me my self-worth.
After I got over the initial shock, hurt, fear, and humiliation, I made the decision to start a home business and be in charge of my own destiny!
I signed on as an “independent rep” with a well known Health & Wellness company. It sounded so … independent! I started off full of excitement and hope.
One of the things they asked me (repeatedly) was “what’s your WHY?”. “Ahhhh… sorry, I don’t understand the question.”
So, finally I realized I had to have a WHY. Making money was not a good enough WHY. They asked me to think of something that I was so passionate about, that NOTHING would stop me from reaching it.
That was the day I realized that I had no idea what I was passionate about. In fact…I realized that I really didn’t have any passions at all. My whole life had become about working long hours, making money, staying on top of my bills, and having 2 vacation weeks a year.
To find that one thing that I knew would keep me going when I wanted to quit.
The one thing I would walk through fire for.
This blog is about that quest.

Hardly a life of passion!
So…I began a quest. To find what I was passionate about.
To find that one thing that I knew would keep me going when I wanted to quit.
The one thing I would walk through fire for.
This blog is about that quest.
How I did it and how it changed my life.
Now I help others to find their own passions. My mission here is to post my own journey and what worked for me…as well as to point you to many other resources to help you find and live your passion.
