Who am I?

I subscribe to a ridiculous number of daily emails. The common theme is "empowerment." Most days I barely have time to scan the subject, let alone dive into what I am certain is amazing, inspiring content. The irony of one post today caused me to pause. Marilyn Tam wrote that to achieve balance, I need to follow my passion. Her suggestion to quiet the outside noise by making time to meditate, journal, or sit quietly is such a struggle for me. I was recently challenged to meditate for ten minutes in the morning. TEN MINUTES!! It might as well have been an hour...I have managed to do it twice now. It makes a huge difference in my day...but I cannot seem to carve out TEN MINUTES.
SERIOUSLY??! It's ten minutes. Is my life so busy I can't spare ten minutes? Apparently.
And then I wonder why the other women in my life are too busy to put their dreams first.
I can't even put myself first.
The rest of Marilyn's post was nearly lost on me, but it is my continual struggle...to realize my passion. What is it I love to do? What energizes me, what excites me to endless creativity?
I guess if I could carve out that 10 minutes I just might figure it out... I'll let you know how that goes.
