Our inner child is foundational. It is the first thing we let go of, but the one thing that keeps us true to ourselves.
-Chelsea Wong, Passion Planner Team 2019
I came across some wonderful inspiration today I wanted to share and remember. Because I am a “Passion Planner” devotee, I always get an email alert when there is an update from the PP team. I found this article about taking a “Passion Week” and the inspiring result on the PP blog.
The idea of a Passion Week is to take your paid time off and allow yourself a small stipend to pursue a personal passion. What a refreshing idea! It really encourages re-thinking the idea of a typical vacation.
I was thinking about what I would work on during a passion week. I had a couple of thoughts and the ideas made me realize how lucky I am. One of the ideas that popped into my head was really devoting myself to PIAV–heading out in the van for some day trips with my sketchbook. It would be a great challenge!
Another thing I was thinking about was the idea of giving back-what can I offer to others that are part of my passions? I immediately thought about the shelter and what I could bring to the youth-mentorship, leading a group, doing a training. I remembered the experience of doing a housing workshop with the youth and how that felt rewarding. I think I really helped some of the youth with budgeting and navigating housing opportunities.
So, maybe it’s time to schedule a passion week! Thanks to Chelsea Wong at the Passion Planner team for sharing her incredible experience for her Passion Week! Check it out here
