\"Passion<\/p>\n

Dear Passion,<\/p>\n

Words, from the age of three, I fell in love with you.<\/p>\n

When I hid in the back of a closet with a flashlight, a tape, a tape recorder, and a book, you gave me an escape from the fighting in my home.<\/a> When I understood you, you became part of my soul. The more I focused on you, the more power I had over my life.<\/p>\n

At age four, I wrote words and phrases. And, by age seven, I wrote simple poems. To nurture my soul and strengthen my mind and spirit, I recorded my thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n

As I grew older, you made me a better thinker, helped me to relax, and increased my mental sharpness. You also gave me both people and communication skills.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now you sometimes you arouse me from sleep in the middle of the night,\u00a0 fill my brain, and beckon me to my computer. I always obey your calling.<\/p>\n

Through my triumphs, failures,<\/h4>\n

highs, and lows,<\/h4>\n

I write.<\/h4>\n

And you\u00a0cleanse my soul and<\/h4>\n

enable me to<\/h4>\n

get beyond<\/h4>\n

my past.<\/h4>\n

Thank you for giving me inspiration, a hope, and a dream. Every time I respond to your call, I become more energetic, more potent, and more effective.<\/p>\n

Thank you for transforming my heartaches into a gift and for helping me to speak my mind. For enabling me to cope with the hard times in my past<\/a> and have happier days. Most of all, thank you for helping me to fulfill my promise to Grandma to share kindness, love, hope, and encouragement every day of my life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Deep inside myself, I\u2019ll always be the three-year-old in the closet treasuring an escape from her violent home life.<\/p>\n

Words, thank you for your influence and encouragement. Thank you for enabling me to use my life story to uplift and encourage others.<\/p>\n

Love always,<\/p>\n

BJ Rae<\/p>\n
