The Passion Test by Janet Bray Attwood
The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose

Wowieee, I attended a workshop of Janet Attwood on the Peace Conference in Netherland. In, fact, I attended a few workshops there, but Janet was outstanding! What a wonderful, vibrant and lovely woman.
She wrote the book “The Passion Test” and is truly “walking her talk”. This woman has Passion (with a capital P) written all over her!

The workshop lasted way to short to capture both Janet’s vibrancy and the passion test. We did a quick version of the passion test which got me passionate like anything to get a hold on the book (well done Janet, hehe).
I really want to get deeper into this topic.

As you all may know I am a happy-go-lucky kinda girl. Janet however takes this one step further: Passion! Yesss, I want to live my life with PASSION.
The quick test that we did in the workshop already got me surprised about my priority passion. In fact I had thought that this website is my number 1 passion, but after the test I had to conclude that this website ends on number 4. Good thing however is that my first 3 passions can very well be combined with this website. They are even pretty much complimentary to each other.

But first I am going to read the book now. Then do the test at a peaceful pace and direct my life more towards living my passions.
The title of the book is “The Passion Test”, but that does not completely cover the content. A title like “Discover your passion, get passionate about it and fulfill it……… a how-to-do guide” might cover the  content to a greater extent (yet is way toooo long, I know, I know).

Okidoki, I’m going to read it and DO it. I’ll keep you posted!

Hi friends,

I just want to share with you that I found myself a pet on the street this morning! We were driving in our car in the early morning when we saw a cat on the street. She seemed to be a bit spaced-out and stared at our approaching car for a moment before slowly realizing that she should walk away. From the car I could see that her fur was in bad shape, full of knots and she was ssooo skinny.

I jumped out of the car and picked her up. I was shocked by how light she felt. On weighing later I found that she is less than 2 kg! She tried to fight me as I held her but really didn’t have any energy. I could easily win the fight and took her in the car.

Selden have I seen a cat in such bad shape, so we took her home. Also her nose is a little wounded. At home she still had the same spaced out attitude, but started purring when I offered her some water!
We then immediately left to get cat food, which she ate as if her life depended on it (which is so true in this case).

By now we have gone to the vet, who gave her some antibiotic, worm-pills and a bottle of vitamine. And he charged us…. nothing! So great, that there are people like that in the world!

We named the cat Kitty. According to the vet she could be around 15 years old. Wowie, she is going to spent her last months with us. She won’t be around so long.
It is very satisfying to see her eat and sleep. Also she loves to be petted.

Lets see how fast she can get her strength and her weight back.
I’ll inform the police, so we can see if there is an owner desperately searching for her. If, so, then we’ll say goodbye soon.

Update: (5 days later)
Kitty is doing better every day. The first 2 days of her stay with us I have given her some rest. Then I started combing her fur. Hell, am I happy for having 9 years of experience as a dog-groomer! Her fur was stiff with knots at some places. 
During the combing she would let me know that she didnt like it and would prefer to leave, but same time she didnt really fight with me. At some points she would even start purring a bit. I guess she understood that I was doing something good. 
Yesterday I washed her! This could be traumatic for a cat, but so far I would wash my hands every time I touch her. Now I dare cuddling around with her and not run to the tap straight after it.

She is feeling better and better and yesterday even umped on a chair! I had figured that she was to weak and old to ever jump again. Such a goooood kitty.

On the first day she made me happy by doing her pee in the cat's loo that I had organized. But on the second day it appeared that she doen't think a poo should be done on the cat's loo. How am I ever gonna teach an old cat to go to loo for poo?
This morning I even dreamed about it! (crazy me) I saw a poo on the cat's loo and was so happy that it woke me up. I then hoped it was a good sign. An hour later I was near the cat's loo when Kitty came and squated on the floor to do her poo (next to the cat's loo). I quickly picked her up and put her on the loo where she finished her poo. I praised her into heaven and hope she got a clue of where she should poo.
Let's pray for that (will you pray for me too?)

So far the news about Kitty. 
I'll remove this page in a few days, because it doesn't really fit the topic of the site. Just wanted some more space than Twitter-space to share these things with you.

Take care and keep shining,
Elisa
