#8 5 Passions I have........
Well my first passion is children. It always has been and always will be. From a young age I knew I wanted to be a teacher - in fact Kindergarten was the start. I had the BEST teacher, Mrs. Hupp. I can vividly remember my first day of school and her warm nature and sweet smile as she presented me with my apple name tag. From then on I knew one day I wanted to be that for other children. I babysat at the age of like 12 for a neighbor and it went from there. My dad gave me some flack for a few years about getting a "real teaching job" but in my heart I knew what I was doing mattered and made my heart fill with joy. I wish that for anyone in their life -- do what gives you joy!
2) Photography -- As long as I can remember I had a camera in my hand. I remember having those "flash card" things on top of my camera. You got like 5 flashes out of them. I thought I was so cool. I would go through film like crazy and was stubborn to finally give into the "digital world." There was always something about capturing moments in photos. I've always been nostalgic - not quite sure why , but I love things with history and meaning. So I think that's why I gravitate to a beautiful photo.....it tells a story. I love OLD photographs! I didn't really nurture my love until recently when a friend brought it out in me.
#3 passion --- Dance. I love to dance. I love music. There's something about expressing yourself through movement. When I was younger I did ballet and jazz and tap. I loved ballet the best.... the softness to it and the elegance. I even got to pointe and felt like such a ballerina. I had body issues so I didn't follow that passion as much as I wish I had - but I never quit dancing. I remember just turning up the music and creating my own dance routines - just expressing the passion, love, angst, sorrow and happiness I was feeling at any given moment. Though I don't move as well as I did then I still dance -- as everyone should. Dance like no one is watching -- I sure do!
Fourth passion is Music....... Music soothes the soul. I used to lay in my room as a teenager with my favorite songs in the CD player (or even record or tape player --- sad my kid will never know these things!) and just lay on my floor in the dark as I closed my eyes and listened to the words sung. I used to write down lyrics for their poetic words as I felt they would describe the feelings I had inside. I joined choir for one year and loved it but felt I was more of a shower singer!! lol I still love to sing and all types of music. Seriously my CD collection has anything from Bach to George Strait to Pantera to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Madonna to Usher to Beastie Boys to Soundtracks (and everything in between!) I grew up listening to pop and "Woodstock" tunes! Probably even some Disco! I hope to infuse that same love of music to my son!
My last passion is writing! I used to journal ALL the time. I hate looking back on them but it's nice to have all that written down for recall!!! There were many a nights where journaling probably saved my sanity. It was like my own shrink! lol I even wrote poetry at one time. I rarely share that stuff - but one time I did with a friend who wrote music. I might hear one of my "songs" on the radio one day!!! ;) not really -- but writing can really soothe a soul sometimes. I'm glad I can blog now. I don't share everything I "blog" with you guys -- so I guess one day when I'm long gone -- someone will have to crack my code and see what other thoughts and ramblings I had in here!!! lol
Can I have a 6th one?!?! My kid! Trevor is my everything. He was perfectly planned. Yes that's right I planned him -- big shocker eh!??! lol He is my biggest accomplishment and greatest joy! He is the passion in my life - what I live, breathe and die for! But really what he is is family -- that's a passion too! I love family, family moments, family traditions, etc. I think that's why I want to share so much with him.
What are your PASSIONS??!?!!?
