In reply to Donna. Happy Birthday Donna! I am loving this time of life too. Because I know there will always be something wonderful to learn and do, I don't even think in terms of getting older anymore. It's more than okay--it makes life so much fun.

Sara,

Sunday is my birthday! I will turn 58! Can’t believe I’m almost 60! I love reading your blog! You have inspired me more than once. This particular article really hit home. Like you, I am always on to the next idea, the next book, in search of my passion. I have had the summer off, and when I can do whatever I want, I chose to work in my yard building stone walks and stone planters. Seems so silly, but it is relaxing and enjoyable to me. I also love photography. I love nature, outdoors, my grandchildren, my husband of 39 years! The list goes on and on, and one day-year-season will meld into the next, and I will change my mind about what I am “passionate” about. And I guess this is okay, according to this post of yours. LOL! So, thank you!
Donna

Wow, I really identified with many of the things you discussed here. I think I’ll have to rad it again and do a bit more thinking… but my passion may actually be very similar to yours. Being in my early 40’s it would be great to finally figure it out! Thanks for sharing your experience.

In reply to Jenn. Hi Jenn. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience here. It's a weird and wonderful feeling to discover that something you (and perhaps others) perceived as a weakness is actually your greatest strength. From working with so many students over the years, I do know that it is often what we are most excellent at, that we take for granted and don't see the value of. How wonderful that you already have and can articulate that insight!

Sara, you are not alone in your thoughts on what passion is and how it should show up! Reading this gave me chills, because I also have hopped from one thing to another. Learning, exploring and applying are themes that always come up for me.

Being a Jane of all trades and master of none can make you feel a bit lonely. There is always a new horizon to discover.

This comforts me, because it’s part of my growth and part of how I can help others. I became a health coach because learning & applying might be MY STRENGTH, and another person’s weakness.

What nobler cause than to share and communicate not just our passions, but our learning?

Thank you for sharing your gift for reflection and discovery.
