Quarter Life Questions

Hi there,

If you're reading this post you're A.) my mother B.) very bored at work or C.) stumbling through life a former college-athlete, popular student, and now realizing your dreams of becoming the next Oprah Winfrey are fading faster than your husband's hairline.

Once upon a time, I was a former arrogant college athlete who could not fathom unemployment, hardship, nor the fact that the world would not be handed to me on a silver platter.

Don't get me wrong, I still have a terrific life. I'm engaged to an Army Captain, live in a nice house in Georgia with a great dog, and have the love and support of family and friends. Where I feel like a "has-been" is in my professional career. There was a time (around 2007-08) when I was a budding journalist who could do no wrong. I was selected for an exclusive internship at the Beijing Olympics. I traveled, I partied, I was written about in my local newspaper. I was a big fish in a pond the size of a puddle. My ego was expanding at the speed of light. All in all, life was pretty easy.

Skip ahead to 2011. After completing my Master's Degree at UNLV, I was unemployed, living at home with my parents, and getting fatter by the day. Oh, and I owed a ton of money to Sallie Mae. It was at this point I realized I didn't have any passion. I had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

Three years later and here I am writing this blog. I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I joined Oprah's Lifeclass, read The Happiness Project, The Secret, and a myriad of other "self-help" books only to discover I had a couple lingering question:

WHERE IS MY PASSION? WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?

So here I am, starting a new blog. Hoping that we may be able to help each other find the answers. I hope to share funny anecdotes, tips for a happy home and life, and most importantly how to find PASSION.

Let's learn together.
