For many of us, putting everyone else first is just our way of life. Your secret wishes and dreams become buried under the needs of your children, families, work, and volunteering. There are things you have been meaning to do, but everything else has taken over your time and energy. When you abandon your dreams you lose your spark.

Now is the time to re-discover the things you once loved and to re-integrate them back into your life. We can always fill our time with things to do. I ask that you choose to include activities that you personally are passionate about - to tap into the excitement and energy that you feel when you are doing something that you love. I encourage you to explore new things. You may find a new passion.

Your passion is like a yearning that is being whispered from deep in your heart. When you engage in your passion you forget about the time, yourself, your surroundings and your day to day struggles. You are not worried about pleasing anyone but yourself. In fact, it is something that you would do even if no one saw or acknowledged your efforts.

What you actually do does not have to be grandiose or expensive. Examples of passions may include: playing the guitar, taking ski lessons, going to the museum, painting, writing, creating a flower arrangement, trying new recipes, running, reading, taking a pottery class. The possibilities are endless. The most important thing is that you take your passion and make it happen.

The benefits of re-igniting your passion are endless. Your spark comes back. You become re-energized while you are doing your passion as well as throughout the day as you relive the experience. Your soul becomes nourished. You are tapping into that part of yourself where you are ‘fully alive’. What a wonderful example you are setting for others around you. You are letting your own light shine, and in turn giving other people permission to do the same.

You may be keenly aware of what you are passionate about or perhaps it has been buried for a long time. To help you to re-ignite your passion, consider these questions:

1.   What desires and dreams are you still longing to fulfill?

2.   If money and time were not an issue what would you do?

3.   Who is your role model for living a passionate life?

4.   What is one thing you dream about that you’ve never told anyone?

5.   What would you regret not having done if your life was ending?

Your heart will know which passion you truly want to pursue first. Any action which you take will re-energize you.

Let your light shine!

I am inspired by the women in my January Life Coaching Boot Camp. I love all of their uniqueness, sharing, insight and energy! The camaraderie and laughs are wonderful too! We each have our own unique GEM to remind us how incredible we truly are. We can create a life of ‘full aliveness’ for ourselves.

This year I am nurturing two of my passions. First, is my running. My heart had been yearning to be out on the trails in the fresh clean air! Team Run Ragged is geared up for a spring relay race. Second, is my writing. I have joined an incredible group of women – the Quill Queens – to explore creative writing. Already I am experiencing a great infusion of excitement and energy!

There is something wonderful that happens when we support one another as we reach for our dreams. Together we create great positive energy and we inspire each other.

I would like to share with you a quote from Marianne Williamson. May it inspire you to re-ignite your passion and to let your brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous self shine!
