8 Things I’m passionate about

1. My family, nothing beats them!
2. My home. Not that it is immaculate or remotely fashionable but it is HOME.
3. My pets. Having animals makes me happy and my loved ones happy.
4. Nature. I love being in nature, outside, looking at the stars or clouds, trees, water, you name it I love it.
5. Creating. Making things is a great way to grow and is a wonderful stress reliever.
6. Music. I have music going 24/7, not kidding, I have a sleep cd that plays all night long. Music is engaging to me.
7. Cooking. I'm not the best cook but I love doing it. I'm not even one to branch out to trying new(weird to me) things. Cooking feeds souls as well as hungry folks!
8. Reading. I don't want to read every best seller out there or every self help or sci-fi book, I just love to read!
