While speaking with a friend of mine today, I was reminded of my passion.
I am frequently inspired and grateful that I have the circle of friends that I have. In our discussions I'm often propelled by their questions and our dialogue to focus on what is truly important to me. As we speak about our challenges in day-to-day life, it often comes around that somehow, some way, I start speaking about my purpose.
How do I know what my purpose is? When I talk about "it", I feel my body start "pumping up." I guess it's a sort of an adrenaline rush. My pulse starts to quicken and I get a bit "heated up" – in a good way. Words just seem to flow out of my mouth. There is no thought about the words I chose, they just come in a rushing stream of dialogue.
Oh, you want to know my purpose? No, it's not "feng shui", although that is part of it. If you haven't realized it from reading my blogs, facebook and twitter postings, it's the importance of connecting to the natural world, and that essentially is what feng shui is all about. It's the subject of the book that I've been writing (and thinking about) for nearly three years and keep getting side-tracked from.
Earlier today I was engrossed in thinking about all the things I still have to do since my computer crashed two weeks ago. Files to restore, email addresses to load, photos to find, files that are lost forever, the list of email addresses I still have to enter into my database from a workshop that I taught four weeks ago! But what this all comes down to is not losing the focus of my purpose and my passion. That is what I am here for and that is what makes me happy!
Do you know that feeling? What is it that makes you feel this way?
I would love to hear about it!
Oh, and thanks Alisa Rose for the prompting this afternoon! I'm re-focused yet again and back "on track" for now! (or at least when I need that next prompting from a friend!)

So true Maureen! Nature is so healing and in this day and age we not only forget it, we take it for granted. I'm excited about your book. I'm sure I could use some tips for remembering to connect to nature every day!
