engagement is fleeting, passion is lifelong

the notion of emptiness generates passion - hunger is the driving force - vicki cobb

passion is seriously hard work.. it's the face that is left after the fun is gone
what are you willing to be disciplined for.. stand up for. .. fight for

kids need to learn at a young age that it is their responsibility to share their passion

big indicator.. angela shares her kids school pics - who's faces change each year.. couldn't show this years.
we can't not guys..

bravo ladies.. and grazie.

my question (for myself as well):
why do we say.. we have to live in the parameters of our reality.. why are we accepting a reality we don't believe in.. how does that define reality.. can't we redefine reality?
can't it all be passion driven.. no binders that are determined by outsiders..
