I found out about Google Alerts from Active Rain............so I put some important people in my google alert -like my daughter........And boy has it come in handy!  So for those of you that have been following Sarah's journey.....

This is what I got!

"Sarah Moras is a Canadian MMA fighter who's come to England to train with me (Rosi Sexton) for a few months.

We've just confirmed that she will fight Danielle West, pro rules, on Kayo-MMA in Watford on Sunday 22nd November. This is going to be a great fight!


I hear there will be two other female fights on the same show, one amateur and one semi-pro, which I think is a first for female MMA in this country." (England)_________________

So instead of getting a "daughter alert" I got a "google alert" - sigh........:-) 

A year ago I wrote this post:  Are You Tuning in To Your Inner Passion? - What Lights Your Fire? For those of you that missed it........she's come a long way....baby..........you can read it below :-)

Now thats a Loaded question - and I'm not even sure that I have my own answers to that question. First of all at 50 I'm on that rediscovery road ........you know the road right next to the recovery road.........? When you've recovered from being married, recovered from being divorced...recovered from raising your children and now its time to rediscover - what the heck you're passionate about in your the New Thirties! 

It is a question that I've offered up to my kids over the years.  "The What do you Want to Be When You Grow Up?" question? The question asked of our kids repeatedly as they're growing up.

My response to them was always........."Honey, I just want you to DO something YOU feel Passionate about!" Now that question has come back to "Kick me in the Butt" a few times.........Hmmm

Lets use my daughter Sarah, here - as a case in point.....You know genius child, high IQ...does two years in one  - graduates early  shortly after her 17th birthday...Former plans were University of B.C., Architecture Program.........however.....

The ...last 6 months of high school she starts taking Jiu Jitsu lessons...... 

Next thing I know - all she wants to do is 'wrassle me' and anybody else she comes into contact with...Soon she owns a punching bag and pink boxing gloves......3 months later she's in her first pro fight.......against a 32 year old.....and after 3 rounds - she wins by decision........

OMG this girl is passionate.  She lives and breathes these mixed martial arts....her vocabulary has changed........the tv programs have changed....she's on fire........What does she do?  Works as a waitress and trains 5 nights a week!                                                                

Is this what I dreamed she'd grow up and be doing...........when she was a wee.....

No..........

Did I say to her,????  ........."Honey, I just want you to DO something YOU feel Passionate about!"

Last year we went to Hawaii for my 50th and she took a flight over to the Big Island for two days just so she could train and BJ Sean's Club.......hmm

Then in June she went again to Hilo for 2 weeks........to train some more????

And two weeks ago she just got back from Osaka Japan - where she went to some famous Fight Club.......and trained some more!

So the lesson learned?  I'd better get my S(*& in gear and start doing something I feel passionate about!  Either that ...or become passionate about what I'm already doing!

I think if you look at the most successful and the happiest people on the planet today and asked "why are they so happy", or "why are they so rich?" or "how did they find such fulfillment," you would probably find one thing in common: they live with passion. 

There are two things I have always been passionate about - Writing and Photography......Had I been living my Passion?    No...Not for a long time!

But you know what ?  Thats what Active Rain has brought back into my life!  I've rediscovered my passions...............and Here I've found the perfect venue for doing both......It might seem strange - but I feel reborn and so very grateful! 

So....I'm Curious...do you know what you are passionate about?  What does it take to Light Your Fire?

Remember the Doors? Here they are with Light My Fire...

P.S.  Did You Know that October is Passion Awareness Month?
