You and I share a passion for volunteerism (isn't it odd that out of all the penpals, we ended up being matched a few years ago, with no prior knowledge of our professional link?) I see passion every day in my work - and I see people who are burnt out. I think that this happens when someone lets go of the passion that brought them in the first place, and gets mired in the everyday horror that is attached to the work. It's my job to help them stay passionate by directing their gifts (and passion!) where they will do the most good and give them the most rewarding experience. <br />Hang onto YOUR passion!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215012239224279787.post-65289854472972245832012-10-28T12:28:03.334-04:002012-10-28T12:28:03.334-04:00I LOVE this post.

I tend to become passionate about something and then overcome by my perfectionism tendencies and then I start losing the passion. I am sure I will come back to this post often - I've pinned it for future reference. Also, I love flowers and tulips are one of my favorites.livininlbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120180180995727247noreply@blogger.com
