Hi Kate

Its been my experience as I've gone through a HUGE shift over the last 3 years (and especially the last 1 of that 3) that living our passions is a gift not to ourselves, it is a gift to others and the world at large. I used to think it was selfish and self centered and it was only when I worked hard and did what I was "supposed" to do that I was "good". Now my belief has shifted and feel we all came here with unique gifts...who are we to NOT live them in honor of The Creator, the gift giver.

Geez, if one of my kids was as ungrateful as I have been for the gifts I was given, there would have been he** to pay. Giggle!

A couple if weeks ago I was doing The Passion Test with the women's group from church. Things weren't going particularly smooth and I was thinking "oh gee, what do I do next". I had been trying to explain to them how living your passions wasn't selfish (because many thought it was).

Suddenly one of the women was on a roll with going through and identifying her top passions. The energy in the room went up, and up, and up and her face was glowing with joy...and she blurted out "I guess I am 66 and want to have some adventures!".

One of the other women turned and said "you lit up the entire room and raised the energy for all of us." There couldn't have been a more perfect way to help these precious beings eliminate one of the more insistent tapes women tend to run. WOW...it was a high like none other.

So live those passions, knowing you are so amazing!
