Note from the Editor…or rather: Passion from the Editor

Note from the Editor…or rather: Passion from the Editor

I study Glamour, Vogue, Elle, Bazaar…and “The Beat Goes On.”  I scan the sale racks at every department store; I meander through photos, websites, vintage stores, and celebrity media.  What is it that I am looking for?  My passion: FASHION.

Some people like to fish, others enjoy crafts...I enjoy Fashion. I am not one of those people who say they love “fashion” when they really just love to shop and spend money. Of course I love to shop and spend money, but I live and breathe fashion. I love everything about it, really.  I like the mix of prints, the play on patterns, the cut of a shirt, the accessories and color that can make or break an ensemble.

Yeah, I love a lot of things. After all, I am an editor.  I love editing the diverse content we publish here at Olympia Media Group.  I adore writing; it allows me to clear my mind.  As for sports, I have done it all.  I have played basketball, volleyball, golf, tennis, swim team, dive team, soccer, gymnastics, figure skating…(my mom was a busy mom, allowing me to overachieve).  All in all, I am a dancer. My mom taught ballet in our basement, and I started at the age of two.

This is all beside the point though.  We all have passions. We all have dreams.  We all have experience…whether we think it is relative or not. We all have goals…or lack thereof.  I went from activity to activity as a child…meaning I learned to multi-task and prioritize early on in life.  I had to decide what was truly important in my life and what I was truly passionate about.

Now there are passion hobbies, and passion professions.  I am passionate about writing, media, and my career in general.  I am also passionate about dance, health, socializing, cooking, and of course FASHION.  Why live in a world where we have to choose one over the other?  There is no time for that.  Pursue all at once, mix up all your interests, and take and pick what works.  I am not going to lie; I adore getting articles in about fashion. 

What I am saying is: let yourself be passionate about everything you were before you got into the workforce.  Just because you played soccer all through high school and now work in a corporate setting, doesn’t mean you can’t play intramural soccer…or coach a league. Yeah, I get it. We are all busy.  However, if you take a second to think about what is truly important in your life and what is important, you will make time for what you are passionate about.  Bring out the inner you and what makes you happy. Cheers my friend, to another new year with endless opportunities.

XOXO,
