What's Your Passion?

Do you have a passion? I have and it's been with me since I can remember. In fact I have several passions.

I have a passion for life. It sounds cliche but I really love living. Each day brings a challenge I didn't have the day before. Sometimes I feel good about the challenge and other times not. What I know is true is that if I stay in the process we call life, I will grow for the better.

I have a passion for all things in the field of theatre. Theatre is Life! Theatre is My Life! I was born with this passion and it only grows when I nurture it, when I take time to acknowledge it. I do and will continue because if I don't, I turn my back on a beautiful and unique gift given especially to me. There will always be others better, so what. I can just be me.

I have a passion to protect the weak. They can't protect themselves. They need to know someone cares. I really do care. If you don't care, don't pretend like you do. You just get in the way. I'll let you in on something, we who care know those who don't.

Yes, you will run into those people and challenges that will try to weaken your will. That's what they are here for. That is their purpose in life. But stand tall, stand strong, stand still, and I promise you that you and your passion will be standing when it's all over.

Have faith in your passion.
