What's your passion?

As I watched my daughter dance around my bedroom mimmicking the ice skater on the movie we were watching, I suddenly wondered, "What will be your passion Alex? What will you do in your life that you LOVE and that you will work to the best of your ability to accomplish?"
What an exciting thought. I imagine it with all three of the kids. I honestly can not wait to watch them give every bit of themselves into something they feel passionate about. It will be a cool and exciting journey. What is my passion I wonder? I think it's a lot of things. I am passionate about being a good mom. It's the most rewarding thing I do. Well- that and being a wife- that's full of good stuff too! My passion outside of family has got to be fitness. I really want to help others change their bodies and become comfortable in their own skin- maybe it's a passion because I haven't been able to be satisfied with my own skin. It's coming tho- I can tell the older I get the easier it is to look in the mirror and be happy with my reflection. I mean- who would have EVER expected me to go out in public without makeup= even to the gym? I learned that new way of life when I was training for the marathon- it was so stupid since all the makeup I bothered to put on was melted off by the time I finished running( yes, I did in fact apply makeup the first few times)- not to mention that my face was usually beat red anyway- so, I no longer care if I am ugly while I am working out- it's more about how I feel later anyway. I am considering becoming a personal trainer so I can help folks out and maybe make some money too. If I am really good- it will be a rewarding job and very flexible! And I look forward to the challenge of using my brains to learn new things along the way. My brains have been resting a bit too long....what's your name again? By the way....what's your passion?(leave a comment if you want-just click on the comments below this blog entry)
