I am someone who believes in the combination of skills, abilities, and dreams. I think that Magic is in the Combination of these skills and experiences. That being said, what I am building for myself right now is a combination of many different hobbies, joys, and aspects of my life that I have been able to put together.

"What happens to the environment, happens to the people."

I have loved nature since I was a child, but it took a long time for me to truly realize how important this was to me. Why would I not be doing work to protect our environment all this time? Why did I not do this before? Well... my answer has to do with my 10 year eating disorder, expectations, and anxieties that I still struggle with everyday.

I believe we should all be working towards (or at least looking towards) what we are passionate about, even if we don't really know what that is yet. Passion is something you have to find by doing and seeking rather than letting it find you.

Bottom line, I am working every day to find my perfect combination of introversion, artwork, environmentalism, nature-therapy, creativity, teaching, and business in my career-- what is your perfect combination?

You don't have to know right now, but start trying out new things, or (in my case), reaching back to your childhood to find those old joys and see if they still matter!
