It looks as though I added this my mistake.  Maybe I'll get out a 4th of July letter.  I missed Christmas and Valentine's and Easter.  I figure my only hope is to get one out for 4th of July. 
What will I write this year???????  Time to get thinking...I think today is June 27th.   I'm way tooooo tired to think about it tonight.  Maybe tomorrow.  Until then.
What are you passionate about today?  I signed up for graduate school today.  It's an answer to my prayer I've been praying since I graduated with my Bachelors Degree.  
This spring my direction came, I'm taking 9 hours this summer at a post back and officially enrolled in a graduate program.  Who would have thought this hairdresser at heart would go back to school at all, much less get a masters degree.  Well... I've only begun the journey but I'm ready for the ride. 
Creating a new blog has been on my mind for a time.  It's the Ozarks Writing Project Summer Institute and getting back in school that has pushed me to "Get It Done."  I'm learning that I need a push.  Deadlines are good for me.

I'm calling my blog Conversations for the heart of the passionate souls because we only have a bit of time in life.  I just don't have time for the wishy washy.  The Lord says be hot or cold, but lukewarm he'll spew out of His mouth.

Actually I welcome anyone, but I hope in a short time, that any lukewarm friends will get on board and be passionate about something.

  Today I wrote three poems.  I edited several and cannot seem to stop.  I love learning.  I'm wondering why I stopped taking classes.  Oh yeah that's right...I have a life, a job and a family a wonderful family that needed me the last 5 years.  All of a sudden, they are a bit more independent.  We always said we were raising them to be independent.  Here is the place I'll sing a praise.  Thank you Lord
for helping us through.  Now our children each have a family of their own(some just married)!
It's 2:22 so I had better get some rest.

Tonight through writing, a friend blessed me by sending me a work of hers to read.  I was past exhaustion because I stayed up last night until 2:45...(I did come home and sleep all evening tonight) Would I read...yes of course...Stunned at the written word, stunned at the pain that people are experiencing.  I can't say anymore except I was honored to be asked to read.   I pray that I might be able to use the story for some to see validity.  I'll expand later.
Passionately yours,
Elaine
