Writer's Block: Name your passion

I'm most passionate about child-focused philanthropy. Any cause to protect, enrich, or support the life of a human during childhood is at my heart's core. The reason? Not only do I feel it my responsibility, as an adult, to care for those younger and more vulnerable than I am, but I also think childhood is the crucial period in creating a strong, healthy, unassailable sense of self. I believe that if we're raised with boundless love and encouragement and the safety of feeling that we have "enough" materially (enough to eat, warm enough clothes, enough extra to have a treat or two, enough to pursue our unique dreams) that we'll each have a strong core to weather temporary deprivations of those things when we're full grown.

If I had the power, every child would go to bed with a full stomach, every child would have their accomplishments applauded and praised, their skills and aptitudes explored, every child would be in the care of someone who loved them as fiercely and completely as I love my son, as the Goddess loves us, and every child would know the magic of unexpected gifts, travel, and the goodness of humanity.

What are you most passionate about in this life?

Oh my goodness. I've been getting signs left and right to pursue this idea I have, and this post just adds to the lot. If you have a chance and feel up to it, I'd love for you to give me a call to talk about a project I've been gestating for quite some time now.

Hey, Lorna! I just got this and your voice mail. I'm heading out for an evening sans baby. Do you have time to chat tomorrow late morning/early afternoon? Any particular time that works for you? I'd love to talk. :)

I will be in the office and free to talk between 1 and 5 pm Pacific time tomorrow if you're free. If not, call anytime after 10 am Pacific time, and we'll just chat while Dot registers her complaints in the background.

Perfect! I'll see how G's nap schedule goes today and give you a call in the afternoon. :)
