As you can see, clearly, I created this magnificent piece of art work (wink, wink) back in 2006 during an art group planned as part of staff development (when I was still working)! The goal of this group was to create something that represents-
“PASSION”
This was what I came up with!
I left my Director’s job of nearly 6 years in 2007. Looking back at this board from time to time since October 2007 has been a great “eye-opener” because I had no idea what I was going to do when I left my job. I just knew that it was time for me to end that chapter of my life. I did have thoughts of living in Thailand in the back of my mind.
According to the passion board, Travel, Adventure, Family, Justice, Energy. Strength are the central themes in my life. This tiny board with few words really says a lot about my passion in life. To me, denying these things and living without them would be like existing without Oxygen: leaving me lifeless, maybe even hopeless.
So here’s the thing- you too can create one of these in the comfort of your very own home.
And with this post, we invite you to DISCOVER and UNLEASH your PASSION through ART and CREATIVITY
It is our hope that you participate and give yourself a chance to express your passion.
Let it teach you, lead you and direct you to new possibilities.

Oh A, I have tons of this stuff. Am on the case. 🙂
Just stopping in from PNP. I love this idea! I make something similar, only I do it on the computer. It gives me a lot more options with pictures and graphics. I guess you could say, it’s a paperless passion board. Aren’t I so green?
Melissa, sorry for the late reply. We’d love to see you participate. If you’d like send me the paperless passion board, with an explanation from you and i’ll place it as part of the round up! Hope you will participate! Aye
This sounds like fun! I will have to see if I can round up some supplies to have a go.
Megan, Hope to see the final product!! be sure to let me know. Aye
FUN! In!
Love this! Yay! We are in! Woooot! Thanks so much for tagging us! We love how you included chocolate in your materials list! Lol! 😀 We can’t wait to work on ours!
