Do You Really Understand Your Passion?

I thought I had a pretty clear understanding of my vision, my purpose and my passion. I found, quite by accident I really didn't have clarity of my vision.
I wasn't quite sure how raising two little girls was assisting others, other than providing a home and security for them. I thought I had to have some sort of "HUGE" external purpose. Then hit me...this is "HUGE". And Necessary.

I have seen through the role of my former "career", as well as going through the process of adopting my two precious girls, the challenge that many go through in assuming a new responsibility, as well as the impact our "system" has on it's children.

There are many children who have depleted self esteems and in many cases a broken emotional system or body. One comment that was made to myself & my husband from the Attorney for the State, was that every attempt was to be made to reconcile children with their parents, and that they had to have proof that the child or children "would not survive"!!!! How preposterous! A person can "survive" under a great many abusive situations. This is not acceptable.

I wish to find a way to assist both the families taking on this new role, as well the children in finding love and acceptance from themselves as well as the new families.
Now, I'm not quite sure how to go about this, but accept my new challenge and action course.
I believe that as Women and in most cases Mothers, nurturing is an essential part of our makeup. If each of us start at home, by the examples we teach as well as giving the gift of "personal development", starting with our own children.
Imagine if we had started this personal journey of self discovery at a more impressionable age....What would the world look like?

I believe we have the ability to stop the cycle of abuse.
What do you think?
