Passion

I've been thinking lately about passion.

What am I passionate about?
Meaning, what am I unwilling to give up in my life right now for things that I am less than passionate about...

Friday night, I began to prepare for my Snack 'n Shop on Saturday.

I was baking and cleaning carpets, sweeping, mopping, dusting, collecting garbage, feeding Doby...

Braxton (my 18 1/2 year old) came home at about 7.

He immediately began hanging my clock that had come crashing down prior to the holidays.

He knew that it was important to me to have the house looking decent and feeling comfortable for my event.

No complaints.
Then, he fixed a couple of cupboard doors that needed tightening and asked what else I needed.

On his FRIDAY night, he was there, helping me with something that I am passionate about.

I am passionate about my children.

I am passionate about sitting and talking to my children.

I am passionate about making sure that they are independent and ready for this world.

I am passionate about laughing with them, cooking for them, listening to them talk about their struggles, planning with them, and loving them.

I am grown passionate about my CBD business.

I am not as passionate about makeup and skin care.

It's fun and enjoyable and great to feel like we LOOK good and feel good about ourselves.

However, my real passion right now is CBD.

And marketing.

And sharing these things with the GH world.

I love being on the leadership team at Green HoriZen.

I believe in our product and our owner.

I believe in the work that we do.

I love teaching and training others to be successful.

It really is the job that I have that I put the most time into because it's my passion.

Doing events is fun.

Tiring.

Okay, exhausting.

But, so worth it!

And, I love that my boys participate in my business.

They can drop off orders like a bunch of bosses!

Baking is a passion of mine.

I love doing it when I have time.

I love sharing it with others and watching them go back for seconds.

I love watching my boys cook.

It goes back to teaching them independence.

They can do it all!

Colton loves to cook and bake with me.

He often asks if he can "help" me.

What he doesn't realize is that I'm pretty much making him do the whole thing, while standing there with him!

My health is my passion.

In a different sense of the word.

I have not been going to the gym more than twice a week lately.

I feel that in my mind and in my body and in my spirit.

I go to the gym to remind myself how strong I am and to get my head right with my body.

I go to listen to my scriptures.

I go to stay healthy.

I took a Sunday picture yesterday.

I'll take another one next Sunday.

I am not looking for a small waist line, or a tinier booty.

I am looking for strength.

I am looking for motivation to keep going, especially when I'm tired.

One of the great things about being single is that I am discovering who I am...

Something I could have done years ago, but didn't have the skills to do.

I am able to really meditate on what it is that I want and need, and who I am - my worth and value to go and get those things.
