About 15 years ago I discovered my passion, I found it while miserably pushing my self though the last 9 miles of a marathon. I’m not naturally a long distance runner so by mile 17 I was done but I had to finish to get the bus back to the hotel room. Did you ever try to run while crying, well it’s impossible so don’t bother trying. So, anyway, there I was limping pathetically though those last miles and I had to dig deep, I mean real deep to pull up some kind of gumption to finish. I finally made it to the finish line with mixed emotions, I was relieved that the hellish event was over, I was happy I would always have bragging rights but never have to do it again, I was horrified that it took me so long (5 hrs.) but the strongest emotion was wow, I did it! Having to dig really deep and see what I was made of made me realize I had some great stuff in me, I had more to me than I realized. With this revelation I also saw that everyone else had this greatness in them. In giving it some thought I came to the belief that we are all born with gifts, talents, God given passion and this world needs all of us doing our individual thing.
A passion born, but how, when, where??? For several years I trained others to run marathons and it was fulfilling but only for a while. A few years went by and I drifted along and lost sight of my passion, strangely depression settled in, I found life boring, unfulfilling, predictable and I started to feel like if this is all there is I’m done, when do I get off this train? Not good.
I had a good talk with myself. Alright girl what are you going to do about this, what happen to your fighter spirit? You have 2 choices find your mojo and live life to the fullest or lay down and get it over with! I decided to reawaken the ninja chick in me and fight for my life. Who am I? Who do I want to be? Where do I want to go? How do I want to live life? I’m on a mission now, watch out world!!! I want to reach as many people as I can with the message that if you are not thrilled with life than let’s do something about it because happy people make other happy people. There is a lot of crap in the world that we can’t do anything about but we can do something about ourselves and affect the people around us, who will then affect the people around them and so on. So if you are in a rut, want change or just want more out of life let me help you. My modes of helping will be coaching, speaking and workshops. A book is in the works but I have 10 grandkids that need lovin’ so I can’t be too busy!!!! Peace out.
