| Passion A powerful, intense emotion in deed. Some people spend a lifetime seeking passion. I have not had to seek it out at all. I have been blessed with trials and tribulations that have taught me patience and experiences in my life which evoke passion naturally... Animals and Children with disabilities. Putting the two together was the natural thing to do, as long as my physical strength and endurance hold up, I will be here, with passion, for this program. ~Carole~ |
