What are your Passions?

-

I visited my sister-in-law the other day and she was showing my daughters and I all her spectacular gardens. She is a very creative and gifted gardener and it was a real pleasure to tour the gardens and listen to her tips and knowledge that she shared with us about all the planting she had done. As we were strolling around I immediately felt wonderful inside knowing that this was her passion. It comes easily and naturally to her. This is her creative outlet. Lots of people paint, some people golf, many read books, Some love to bake. There is an 86 year old woman in our church. She loves to bake and cook. She shares her recipes and her food is delicious. Her energy is outstanding when she is talking about it.

I know there are still so many people out there who have no clue what their passions are.

Here are some of my clues about finding your passion.

Your passion is generally something you are good at. We always enjoy things we do well.

What do you do really well?
What comes naturally to you - where you can't even remember learning it? What do you love to read about and talk about with others where your conversations are infused with enthusiasm? what did you enjoy doing as a child?
What do you do where time just flys by. what do you do that fully engages you?


My Passion is writing. it's something I've been doing since I was 10 years old. I have journals that are 30 years old. I'm fully engaged in it. I am flooded with endorphins swimming through my body. when I write I can't stop even though my time is up and I have other responsibilities. It's like breathing for me.

What is Yours?

Cheers to living a passionate, inspired life.
with much love,

Carrie

Trans Activism

-
What walks like a teen fad and talks like a teen fad...is probably a teen fad. Celebrating trans is a growing trend and something I’m not okay with. But then again, I’m not a doctor set out to make millions off confused teenagers and desperate parents. I’m not big pharma that stands to make billions off these kids and the services including endocrinologists, sexual health physicians, speech pathologists, nurses, social workers, child and adolescent psychiatrist and psychologists. I feel sorry for the parents that must navigate this with their teenagers. As if raising kids isn’t hard enough. Am I the only one?  In Abigail Shrier’s book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing our daughters she alerts us to the newest trend in internet support groups that indoctrinate young girls into believing gender identity as the root of all their problems.  If Shrier is right, a great many people have been complicit in practices that are proving very harmful to adolescent girls.

Exploring Climate Change

-
Climate policies must benefit people as well as the environment. Fixating on scary stories about climate change leads us to make poor decisions. One CTV news reporter posted an article recently titled, “Here’s what the era of global boiling means for Canada.” The media outlets have become activists, reinforcing the extreme language against the backdrop of these wildfires. Imposing higher taxes to alter weather patterns is not resonating positively with the public, causing it to become a point of contention. Can we at least admit that it is as much a political issue as it is an environmental one?   Differing perspectives on its causes and consequences spark heated debates worldwide. Right now, there is nothing even close to a consensus on the scope of the problem or the best way to solve it.  Am I the only One?   Greta Thunberg is the poster child for this movement, but I’d like a more credible spokesperson than this.  She is very likely to live a longer, more prosperous life than her

Unveiling the Dark Side of the World Economic Forum

-
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a conference held every year in Davos, Switzerland where leaders around the world meet to address global challenges, share ideas, and promote cooperation on issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and technological advancements. Whether the WEF is seen as good or bad depends on individual perspectives.Opinions may differ based on political ideologies, personal beliefs, and experiences.  Supporters of the WEF argue that it plays a crucial role in fostering dialogue between various stakeholders, including governments, businesses, civil society, and academia. On the other hand, the WEF’s platform has faced criticism and argue that it primarily serves the interest of the wealthy elites and multinational corporations. The annual Davos gathering is predominantly attended by wealthy business leaders, politicians, and influential individuals, creating an exclusive environment that shuts out diverse voices and perspectives. Detractors argue
