Feel Good Blogging Challenge: Passion!! My Driving Force.

I've written many papers during my education. For this particular assignment, I was free to write on any topic I wanted. Over-ambitious, I decided to write on how I was seeing lies being projected into our lives. Therefore, I produced the most stressful paper I had ever written: "Battle of the Mind." Stressful, because I found it difficult to materialize the thoughts I wanted to express... But when it was completed, I felt truly accomplished, and proud; to attain, to share a piece of me I was unable to express in any other way.

I cannot tell you with certainty where I got it from, but it has always been hard for me to understand the hate, the exploitation, the bias, the bigotry, the hypocrisy, the deception, etc., that exists in the world. I, personally, cannot claim I've experienced much of it, but just enough. Just enough to know it is real, and that all it takes to get on the "bad side" of the spectrum is simply falling out of line; that no one is actually immune.

I am a Mexican-American; a decedent of Indian and Spanish blood. My sons are half Mexican and Pakistani. My husband is African American and Cherokee. As you can observe, I see no color lines... But this world, this place I will be leaving my future generations, is not a place I feel comfortable leaving them behind in. 

To be honest, I find it difficult to pinpoint my passion. Truth and Justice! Strength and Integrity! Love! Those are concepts that excite me!!
