Unwrapping Your Passion: Creating the Life You Truly Want | 
You guys, I have just not been able to focus much on reading lately, especially if it‘s fiction. Longest slump I‘ve ever been in. However I‘ve been reading quite a bit of what might be termed “self-help”. I especially like this one from Karen Putz. I just like how she is so encouraging. Incidentally she‘s deaf as well (as am I). Her main passion is barefoot skiing🦶 , something I probably would never do, but I‘m trying to find/rediscover mine 🤞.
LauraJ Good luck finding your passion. I hope the search is fun! 5y
LauraBeth I‘ve been thinking about you - I hate that this is a tough season and I know you miss your dad 💕💕 It‘s okay to be in a reading slump - it won‘t last forever. Read those “self-help” books. Re-read your favorite books. Here‘s a virtual hug 🤗 🤗 5y
Emilymdxn I‘m so glad you‘re finding something that makes you happier to read even if it isn‘t the same reading you‘ve done before - no shame in reading self help or any other reading if it works for you! I went through a time of not doing that well, not doing too well, having no passions and looking around for more. I tried a lot of things before I found hobbies that truly worked for me. Thinking of you 💖 5y

Suet624 Wait. Barefoot skiing? We now have 20 inches of snow and its still falling and I can‘t figure out why someone would ski barefoot. And hugs to you. 💕 5y
