The Journey Begins

I am on a journey to change my life...it's that simple. Okay, changing one's life is not that simple, really. Otherwise I would have done it already! What was simple was the choice: do I want to continue to live a lackluster life or do I want to live a life of passion and make a contribution to others? The answer was a no-brainer. I hate being bored and I was with my life but I was stuck in neutral.

Over the past few years, I got off track. I went from a life-loving woman who traveled and made arrangements for others to do the same to a woman who went thru life daily without a plan or purpose. I enjoyed creating beautiful braid styles for an established clientele, in addition to working a full time job. Where did that woman go? It was a question I had been asking for quite sometime. I came to the conclusion that the woman is gone but a new and improved woman will emerge.

I've grown sick and tired of being broke and broken, of being bored and boring, of being lifeless and having a soul with a void. I could either continue on that path or create a new one.

So here I am, a woman on a mission and with a purpose. Instead of letting life lead me, I'm leading my life by doing the things that bring joy and excitement. I love to travel and make vacation and group arrangements, so I'm working on rebuilding that business and planning on taking trips to places I'd like to visit and discover. I always loved creating beautiful braid styles, so I have started doing it again and I'm glad that I did. Both provide the opportunity to meet new and interesting people and to bring joy to them. I'm considering becoming a Passion Party consultant...that can bring joy and passion to people :-)

I want my spirit to soar! I want to feed my soul and discover my purpose, which I believe is to contribute to other people's lives in a different and genuine way.

I'd like to share my journey with anyone interested in living vicariously. I will also share my thoughts on current events that affect me in some form or fashion. It is my hope that those who choose to follow this blog will find it interesting and inspiring.

I want to hear from you! Share your journey on living a passionate and fulfilling life.
