Passion.

I love this word. The images it invokes. The feelings it conjures. Just saying it makes me smile.

Passion.

Your hand sliding over a woman’s hip.

Lips slowly grazing skin.

Two dancers performing a Tango.

Playing a violin.

Scrap booking.

Whatever you enjoy, make it your passion.

You should find the passion in the things you do, and allow yourself to smile like a fool because of it. Do not be afraid of it, or the feeling it brings. Embrace it.

For me, writing is one of those things, and has even changed as I have continued doing it. Now, not only am I writing the things I enjoy writing about, but I also write, hoping that my passion for doing so, and my passion for books, transfers to someone who reads my material. That other people enjoy my writing, and it makes them smile, laugh, or cry, would be a major achievement for me. Of course I want to be successful and sell a lot of books, that would allow me to continue writing how I want to write, but causing emotional reactions in others from my writing, is what I hope for.

This weekend, when you are out doing, whatever it is you are doing, (or whoever), take a moment for yourself, and smile. Smile because of passion, and what it does for all of us.

Show your passion. Enjoy what you do.
