Ma Maven | The Mom Without A Manual

Today I chose to be honest with myself and it has lifted so much weight off my shoulders. I am not passionate about anything right now and that is ok. Earlier I was sharing with a good girlfriend of mine the many business ideas I have brewing. During this conversation, she advised me to focus on one I am most passionate about. This was sound advice and I would love to apply it to my life. But This advice led me to think, “What is it that I am really passionate about?”.

I realized there is nothing I could do right now that would keep my interest for too long. Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of interests and hobbies I’ve grown to enjoy over the years. There is crocheting, jewelry making, podcasting, roller skating, and experimenting with crazy Tik Tok recipes, to name a few. The list of activities I want to put my hands to is no short one.

At one point in my life, my passion was styling hair. My list of clientele kept my days busy as I thought being a beautician was going to be a title I would be known by. Alongside being a single mother of one precious boy. As the years have pressed on my family continues to grow. Bada BOOM bada BAM and just like that raising my children have completely altered my lifestyle. I do not have time during this season to dedicate myself towards pursuing much of my ideas.

Let me be frank, it sometimes sucks to put down your own passions for a while. This realization is a hard pill to swallow.

Does anyone else struggle with a lack of passion in this season?
