"All women have at least one passion in life. Passion wakes you up in the morning. It makes you tick. It's your energizer. It might be a hobby, a profession or a casual past time. It may be as simple as living life fully and enjoying the journey or sharing common interests with others. Whatever your passion, it's worth pursuing and something you must share if it is to be fulfilling and worthwhile."
Carol Wiepert, 1998
Are you passionate about something? A hobby, a past time, a career? The web is the best way to spread your passions and meet new people who share them. There are no limits to the possibilities! Empowermom is designed for passionate women (and men). We'll help you harness your inner power and pursue your passions. Empowermom wants to help fulfill those dreams you thought were impossible by using the internet.
If you're looking for a community to help you learn and grow, as well as extend your network of nurturing spirits, then you are home now.
Empowermom is a site for fun, merriment, sharing and caring. This site is an example of how YOU can take your passion and transfer it to the web. You can share your particular passion with the world or a select few of your own choosing.
For most of us, life is an open book and we've all got at least one passion we're itching to share with our friends, family and others. Empowermom's philosophy is passion is meant to be shared. It's about the journey and enrichment during the process. It's not about making money (although we'll show you how it's possible).
Explore our WEB DESIGN section to learn how to share your life and your passions!
HIDDEN HOLLOW WEEKLY COLUMN
"Life is like a roller coaster. You begin the ride hesitant and a bit fearful. Comforted by the fact others are going along with you, it isn't quite so frightening. When the ride begins, you hold on to the bar and adrenalin courses through your veins. There are moments you are terrified and moments of complete exhilaration. There may be moments you close your eyes in terror, knowing you can't get off and all you can do is hold on until it's over. You know you are safe but it doesn't take away the fear. For many, there are moments of regret for taking the ride.
When the ride is over, you step off. Most are smiling even though there were terrifying moments. Some people are dizzy, some even get sick, but few regret the ride itself. Most will ride again. Such is the spirit of life!" Carol Wiepert
During the last two weeks, I've had a hard time feeling inspirational. Many obstacles were thrown my way which depleted my spirit and my drive to share much of anything. Were it not for the love and support of my family and friends, there were days it was hard to perceive the words " happy" and "future" belonged in the same sentence.
This week's column is devoted to the women (and men) in our lives who hold us up when we feel like we're in the middle of a train wreck.
