As it is the first day of classes back at LU, (where I teach and work in Academic Services) I’m gonna cheat a bit and include my Daily Om in my post. I’m up early. Walked the dogs. Did some super ab crunches and yoga stretches. And I’m revved up and ready to go!

So often I want for the days when my business, PMP is my full-time gig. Yet, I recognize this morning as I read this, that I am living my passion and serving my purpose each day. My academic liaison position allows me to BE the “coach” keeping my cool in the heat of any student, faculty, staff or parent issue that arises. Helping people to seek solid solutions and reframe strategies for better communications. (Not to mention the fabulous students I get to facilitate classes for).

I love the first week of the fall semester. The anticipation of the possibilities that are a new year. A fresh clean slate. New faces. New dreams. New joys and new challenges. It’s only fitting that I woke up to find my Daily Om right in sync with where I am. The Universe has a much grander plan than I can even imagine for myself right now. And when I get a sign like this one, I gladly recognize and accept that fact.

So I share this with you now…

Inspire With Your Passion
Aries Daily Horoscope
You could notice the impact your influence has on others today, which might be the result of your ability to connect with and express your passion for life and the things you believe in. Perhaps today you may want to become aware of your passions more directly by reflecting on what inspires you. Consider making a list of all the interests in your life that you feel you cannot do without—things that delight you and spark your imagination.

Choose one thing that speaks to you the most, and think about how you could integrate this into your life. If your passion is helping others, for example, you might decide to do volunteer work once a week. You may find that by living through your passion, not only are others drawn to your charisma but you are also more closely aligned with your higher self.

Understanding what inspires us allows us to live truthfully and in a way that motivates those around us. Becoming aware of the things that feed our souls lets us access an unlimited source of energy, which positively affects everything we do. Our lives are fed through our connection to these deeper levels of our being as we begin to radiate warmth, happiness, and abundance. Our resulting actions will then encourage others to live in this way as well. By living according to your passions today, the truth behind your actions will have a lasting impact on your life and the lives of those around you.

What are you passionately pursuing today?
Peace and first day jitters,
