As I was combing through my archive emails for when I attended Graduate School, I happened upon the following email that is a simple reminder of where I received joy from pursuing a passion. Here it is below:

I forgot about this accomplishment. Although, I switched to pursue and eventually receive my Graduate Degree in Public Relations, having taken some Creative Writing Courses brought me joy. It was a challenge; yet opened my eyes to many wonderful blessings and opened me up to pursuing storytelling even more. So, I am blessed to have stumbled upon this simple reminder to always pursue your passions for in doing so your purpose becomes illuminated.
Soon, I plan to embark on a passion project. I really don’t know how it will turn out, but I am going forward to take a risk that it will come to full fruition. All I have to do is trust God to bring to past all the desires of my heart. I commit them to Him and He will bring it into view.
So, simple things like conversations, bring me joy. With that said, I desire to have conversations, one with another with various people. Basically, whoever it brought into my pathway for the “divine connection.” N.O.W. Speaks is the concept where sharing, caring, exploring, uplifting, encouraging, enlightening, equipping, etc. and so much more will occur. If we can decide to have a dialogue EVEN if we do not subscribe to all of the opinions from another, it is good and pleasant for folks to come together in unity.
Today 11.16.21 I heard this singer share his song and wanted to share it with everyone as it truly embodies the heartbeat of this message today. So, never forget to take the time to enjoy the simple things in life. These moments in time help shape us into individuals who truly exude joy, peace, love, and thanksgiving. Blessings to all!
