		<description>Totally without vanity, I am passionate about every single thing I do. Which is NOT to say that I&#039;m the best at everything, or maybe even that I&#039;m good at something..I guess that&#039;s for others to help determine.

But I know that anything I spend my time on, from reading to gardening to writing, solving a problem, or helping my kids, I do with my whole heart. There is no &quot;halfway&quot; and there is no &quot;off&quot; button. If it&#039;s worth my time, then it&#039;s worth my whole, earnest attention.  My drive can be off-putting, in truth.

So thanks for the reminder that those things we do [volunteering, baking, sewing, whatever] are our ways of leaving a mark, leaving a legacy. And inspiring others, as you&#039;ve done here.

		<description>hi Amber I&#039;m loving reading about these passion projects! Thanks for the post.
Right now my passion project is about mixing up creativity, the web, and the kindness of people to raise funds for &lt;a href=&quot;http://awomansinvestment.blogspot.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a bunch of women in the Philippines&lt;/a&gt; and I have been overwhelmed with the generosity of others. My other passion project is also about seeing women make the connection between their skills, their creative ideas and technology to make a difference. There are some amazing people out there!
