On Fire!!

I want to start this blog out with a story I've heard many times in my life. I'd say you've all heard some form of it before as well. But read it anyway and allow it to inspire you.

“A little boy was wandering in the forest and came upon an eagle’s nest. He plucked an egg, brought it back to his farm, and giggling to himself, slid it under a mama-to-be chicken. Soon after, this chicken’s eggs hatched, and there among the chicklets was a female eaglet. This little eaglet grew up with her chicken peers, learning all sorts of chicken habits: how to walk like a chicken, squawk like a chicken, eat like a chicken. This eagle did it all. However, no matter how passionately she put her all into her chicken existence, she always felt something was missing. She didn’t know what, but she felt an inner emptiness. One day she looked up in the sky and saw a beautiful bird, soaring freely among the clouds. She felt this pang of awe mixed with a weird sense of connection. She longed to be up there flying, too. Suddenly, she had this flash of insight. She flapped her wings and to her surprise, she took off. That’s when she realized that all along there was more to her then mere chicken hood. She was meant to fly."

All of my life, I knew there was more to life than what I was living. I knew that I didn't want to settle for an existence to which I had no connection. I knew there was something out there that I was supposed to be doing. Something more than merely going through each hum drum day.

I'm so thankful that I have found my passion and my calling. I love writing. I feel so alive when I write. I finally feel like an eagle.

I'm going to include a song that I relate to. Listen to the words. If any of you feel like there's more to life than you are experiencing, go after it. Find your passion and fly with it. You can't go wrong.

Remember to work hard and Dream Big!!

Much love,
