Watching masterchef and feeling envious of how passionate the contestants are about cooking! I don't have a passion really (aside from my kids!), I don't even really have a hobby so wondering what everyone else is passionate about? Did you/will you follow that passion?
Yes besides my kids.....
Sewing,
breast feeding (training to be a counsellor),
Photography,
Yoga !!!! Which I have just rediscovered !!
Skiing
Childbirth :)
I used to be passionate about horses/riding, but I don't have a horse anymore so that kinda puts paid to that!
I do love reading and sewing, at the moment they are probably the two things I am most into. (unless eating chocolate counts..lol)
Women's rights
genealogy
food (not necessarily good food either ;) )
History - not as in wars or major events, but in how the everyday person lived. I love researching the clothing, the customs, crafts, food etc.
Balloon Twisting
Designing Fabrics
Sewing
Any sort of upcycling type crafts.
Photography and music! Hey both make me Squeal with happiness!
Community. Justice. Creativity. Life.
My job. It's a vocation. Yes I'm weird.
Basketball. I've played, coached, refereed and now sit on the Tribunal.
Health & Gentle Parenting, so very passionate about both of these things and am blessed that my dh is equally as passionate about them too!
I'm passionate about my children's school and their education and I'm very involved. I'm also passionate about my horses. :)
Another horse girl here!
I am passionate about education - I teach ESL kids for a day job (currently part time :)) Mum arrived at kindy in the 50s, unable to speak a word of English, and was expected to just magically catch up. I love working with refugee kids - their steps may be so tiny to the outside observer, but seeing the light go on for them... wow.
I try not to get too nerdy about seeing the light go on in my daughter's eyes too - but it is so incredible to see her absorb, process and use information.
I'm a craft nerd as well. Patchwork is my mainstay and I've become quite prolific of late, but I also knit, crochet and embroider, and have dabbled in felting, scrap booking, card making and book binding.
PP I would love to do patch working and felting! Not sure I am patient enough for it though :(
I love the concept of felting (I am very much a textile person, waiting for the days when I can do a weaving course), I just suck at knitting, which in itself is not a problem as it does not have to be perfect for the felting I want to do, I am just so, so slow. Add to that spinning the wool, it takes a very long time to make a little felted bag.
n2l, look up rotary cutting and chain piecing as patchworking methods - super quick and effective! Felting... no way but the slow way I'm afraid... no, wait - accidentally throwing your beautiful merino tunic in with the cotton wash is a quick way to make felt... :doh:
drawing and anything creative, that I can put my own spin on.
Deloreans (I WILL own one....one day =) )
oh and Skulls!! (...I know...) <-- kind of a superstition really I guess... I feel if i surround myself with death and skulls and skeletons and what not, then with the balance of life and death, life will be attracted to me and surround me (and mainly my work). itms...
and Graveyards!! mainly discovering lonely graves that are in the middle of no where, and exploring WHY, that poor soul is there on the side of a road/in a paddock/under that tree, by them selves. Its the history and the story behind it that fasinates me.
Oh T, we went on a family trip once to 'outback' Qld, to see a friend of a friend. We went for a drive around part of the property and down near the river was an old family cemetery. There are so many of these all over our vast country, mostly forgotten, bit sad that some of their stories will never be told/no one will ever know who they were. I think it's a wonderful thing to be passionate about!
its true, I'm actually getting good at finding unmarked ones now too, because majority of them aren't marked. but you can tell by the way the land is that someone was burried there at some point.:
I guess I am in a way, trying to make sure no one is forgotten, and by my finding them and thinking about them (even if I know nothing about them) I'm giving them a chance to be remembered.
I love my job, and I am passionate about it.
I am also passionate about human trafficking (the abolition of ~).
I love music, but it's a release more than a passion, if that makes sense ... it's something which wells and wells up inside, and I have to let it out - but it's not something I pursure, ITMS.
I am looking for a hobby ... check out my blog to see how that's going ;) (like in signature).
Communication
Parenting
Cooking
Passion ;)
Scuba diving! It's how DH and I met :D Don't get much of a chance to do it these days - pregnancy and breastfeeding tend to get in the way... I did go out off Cairns when DD was about 5mths old, left EBM for her and had to express in the toilet on the dive boat... most unpleasant! Won't do that again!
Also breastfeeding - another training to be a counsellor :)
Photography.
I've never been so passionate about anything in my life! It's something I think about from the moment I wake up until the moment I go to sleep! And I'll chat about it to anyone and everyone! And if I meet another photographer I'm in HEAVEN.
It's an amazing creative outlet and I'm constantly inspired. I feel blessed to have it in my life :)
Sewing and anything craft really (patchwork, making clothes, recovering chairs, making curtains, leather bags...mosaic tiling, jewelry etc)
Ballet (doing more than watching which I find a bit boring)
My family! I really really love my family!
History - buildings, way of life, clothing, food, customs etc... I live knowing and experiencing how we once lived!!
Old cemeteries and graves - I'm another for loving finding the old graves and unmarked ones so they are not forgotten...
Genealogy - I LOVE researching my family tree and finding all our skeletons in the closet and telling my kids the stories I find...
Anything crafty...
Cooking
Making memories with my family! This is my biggest passion... Loads of photos are taken and many conversations remembering those times. I like to be able to attach a memory for my family to a place and or smell etc...
Photography for me too :)
Photography and cooking
1st passion my baby
2nd passion my hubby (he has the same order for me)
3rd passion my job- I am a horse riding coach and teach body awareness riding which is a bit like yoga combined with riding. I have heaps of competitive riders on my books and I live and breathe my job. Once I find a working pupil I'll have three horses back in work and be nuts with going to comps, teaching, judging and generally messing with horses.
Oh and I LOVE makeup!!!
All kinds, having it applied, applying it and especially theatrical makeup...
Theatre - I'm an amateur stage actress and DP is a stage manager... I love being on stage and back stage!!!
my family is my passion, so things I do like cooking, organising outings etc I do with zeal because I am doing it for them
Before husband and kids though my passion was reading - I would devour books like no tomorrow
and animal/child welfare i am really passionate about
Bumping this very worthy thread, so I can come back later & read/reply.
Changing the culture of fear surrounding childbirth.
Crochet.
Interior design.
Midwifery- I plan in a couple yrs when kids are at school to go to Uni and train to be a midwife and bring care to those in remote towns and countries that don't have access to appropriate care and support
Also... Dr Who!!! Love love love
