Your Passion...

 By: Connie J..., April 28, 2025

Do you know what your passion is? That motivation that gets you right in the feels??! It stokes that fire in your belly, and drives you?


Though I am unable to commit as much time as I would like, writing IS my passion. Sharing the wisdom I have acquired over my nearly 33 years in my "Healing Process"; AND my nearly 64 years, on the planet.


When I am writing, and my thoughts come together - bam, I feel so complete in that moment. Like this is what I was born to do.


Then, I have moments where I struggle to form a sentence - now, does that make writing any less of my passion? I don't think so - it just reminds me how human I am...lol.


As with everything in life, your passion moves in waves - keep this in mind. I see the iceberg utilized, a lot, when someone is describing another's thought-process. There is so much more going on, under the surface, than we will probably ever know.


For example - I have many titles, or Blog topics, in the Notes, on my phone. Trust me, when I say my brain is ALWAYS going - sometimes, I do struggle to get my posts completed in a timely manner - but I usually do. It's NOT because I haven't been working on anything - it's because my BRAIN is working on EVERYTHING!!! But, I digress...I guess you could say that's maybe a "down side" of having a passion for something? That obsession.


But, in life, it is the choices we make, that make ALL the difference. I could let it get me down, that I am not where I want to be, in my "writing career" - I choose to embrace each day as it comes; both good and bad, and move on through it.


Every day, YOU have the same opportunities I do - to make the choices to stoke that fire, within. If you're not where you want to be, in life - what changes do you need to make to begin that quest to YOUR passion? These, and others, are some important questions you might want to begin asking yourself. I challenge you...



Thank you, have a good day and be safe... #beaware #growinto2025 ##domesticviolenceiseverywhere #ENDtheSILENCEofVIOLENCE #isityou

...how exciting the Holidays were, as a child. As I have aged; their "magic" has kind of faded. My Grandma's Birthday was November 23, so Thanksgiving was always a celebration. Between her passing years ago, and many years in retail - some years it's hard to hold onto "the Happy"; but, I do, by choice. I remember how it felt - and sometimes a plethora of good and bad feelings come rushing back. I can't really stop the memories, nor do I want to - for they ALL are a part of what makes me who I am, today. Now, NO desire to go back and relive them - but, I sort through them; and place them where they belong.  What do YOU remember during the Holidays? We would LOVE to hear YOUR feedback and insight.

In thinking about the upcoming Holiday Season - I was pondering some viable "What If's": - you decide to get with friends, instead? - you go, but on your terms - AND if you feel things "going South", you address them, right there and then - AND you give yourself permission to just leave, if you feel not heard? - you spend the day at the movies, and have pizza and popcorn, instead of traditional food? - you stay home in comfy clothes and binge on your fam favorite TV shows and movies; play games - whatever YOU decide?  - you do something many would consider "off the wall", but makes you happy - JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN??!

I spent MANY years thinking I knew myself - then I finally had to stop running, and FACE MYSELF!!! I had NO idea what I really even liked, internally OR externally. It has taken me many years to be comfortable with who I am, and to know what I like - even though that can change daily, as I evolve. Even my beliefs have shifted - NOT my belief in God, just finally figured out how I NEED to be, regarding MY relationship with Him. I wasted so many years, and suffered so, by trying to live other people's expectations of what MY life should be. Now, though shockingly, still imperfect (lol) - I know myself. I'm still learning what I like in my life, daily; but much of what I don't like, has been ejected from my Personal Space. I treasure my time with myself; and keeping my peace, has become paramount to my existence. I have found, and lost many along the way - but my journey is NOT theirs; and I evaluate each relationship as a life-lesson.  Again, I ask, "Do you know YOU??!"

...as opposed to living a full life? This is determined by the individual. I don't want to just fill my time, here on earth - I want my life to have meaning, to know at the end if the day that I have done my best; and lived it to the fullest. Again, determined by each person. Just stay honest, and current with your feelings. This will help keep depression away - especially, with the Holiday Season approaching earlier and earlier, every year.  What do YOU do to live your life, daily?

In recent years, much of the world's focus has been on how people are identifying themselves. I'm not going to get into pronouns, etc; but every person on earth "Identifies" as something - whether they realize it, or not!!! For over half of my life, I "identified" as a Victim of Sexual Abuse; then as a Victim of Domestic Violence. In this second half of my life, thus-far, I have CHOSEN to identify as a Survivor of both of those, and a grateful person; while also, a writer. None of this has just happened, either. There has been a good bit of struggle - self-loathing, hatred for many people around me, feeling God had abandoned me, etc. Not an easy path. Choices had to be made - sometimes, by the second!!! But, my first choice in the direction of positive, from negative (though still surrounded by that negative), was my FIRST step towards my healing proces; and this process is on-going. I will re-establish my identity - which morphs into my character - every day, for the rest of my life. Can you relate? We would LOVE to hear YOUR feedback and insight.

I speak a lot about choices - because growing up, I didn't realize (long into adulthood) that I really didn't get to make a lot of my own. I recently went to the Orlando area for a combo "Girl's trip"/family visit, with my bestie. Had a basic list - but wanted it to be unstressful. Score!!! Did you know Cape Canaveral is a whole separate city from where they keep the rockets??! Also, you MIGHT want to have a more specific destination than "The Gulf"??! (enter Clearwater). Naive traveler, but happy!!!  Choices were made, on a daily basis. The closest "touristy" thing we did, was eat at the TGIF by the big Universal sign. Was headed for a tattoo place my nephew suggested, couldn't find it; but via a "Happy Accident" had ANOTHER amazing tattoo experience, with Shae - guess who watched Wicked, while getting another "Wicked infused" tatt??!
