My PASSION Magazine
Everyone has a passion. Everyone has a story. Everyone has a voice. And everyone wants to be heard. Because of this, “My Passion Magazine” was birthed. Each article that is written on these pages are articles from the heart. Stories that needed to be heard. Stories that will inspire you. Stories that will make you laugh, but there may be some a little sad. Some will add a little understanding to your life that you may not have had before. Some may add a few calories to your body but some will discuss how to get rid of them. All in all they are stories of someone’s passion. Each writer has contributed these articles so that others will be encouraged. I want to thank each writer for their hard work in putting their passion on paper.

All Shades<br />
& Flavors<br />
Our family is like a box of chocolates you never know what<br />
you are going to get! Do you remember that statement in Forrest<br />
Gump? Well, our family is like that! We come in every<br />
shade and flavor of humanity and we are like heavenly puzzle<br />
pieces. We are so different in looks and actions, but a part of<br />
a divine box created by our heavenly father.<br />
I am sure you agree with me that a<br />
box of chocolates would be so boring<br />
if there were no diversity in it. The<br />
finest chocolates of the world have<br />
the different blends we love so much<br />
and even some brand new swirls of<br />
flavors to excite our taste buds!<br />
Let’s explore this awesome diverse<br />
box of chocolate wrapped in Agape<br />
love! Watch out because when you<br />
begin to interact with us, each chocolate<br />
piece has a burst of surprises<br />
within it.<br />
The piece may look like one flavor<br />
on the outside, but there is so much<br />
more to be discovered. So, do not<br />
judge the book by its cover or identify<br />
chocolate by the outside shade<br />
alone. You will miss out greatly. If<br />
you engage with us, you will be enriched<br />
as you allow the entire shade<br />
and flavor of our family to reveal itself<br />
to you.<br />
Let me begin with me and I promise<br />
it will be interesting. Just because<br />
you are light doesn't make you all<br />
white or Caucasian, and just because<br />
you are brown skinned doesn't make<br />
you African/American only!<br />
I am from the Alps in Bavaria, Germany,<br />
with a Mediterranean influence<br />
and a historical blend of nations<br />
from Italy to the Eastern nations of<br />
Europe and some other nations our<br />
family has never been sure of. I am<br />
the light Carmel with white chocolate<br />
piece and a burst of nutty vanilla<br />
flavor that puzzles the ones that<br />
get a taste of it.<br />
Right next to me is a delicious rich<br />
pecan colored piece, my darling husband.<br />
The filling is a blend of white,<br />
earthy red and deep rich ebony black,<br />
flavored with blends from countries<br />
like Ireland, Africa and back to the<br />
original Native Americans.<br />
The flavor is masculine strong and<br />
the filling is firm, yet surprisingly<br />
pleasing to those encountering<br />
it! The blend of Nations created a<br />
definite leader spirit.<br />
There are multiple Carmel swirls in<br />
this beautiful box that have all of the<br />
above mentioned shades and flavors<br />
in it. Each Carmel/vanilla/chocolate<br />
swirl has a different depth and mix<br />
of color.<br />
Our heavenly Father so magnificently<br />
blends them that he is surely<br />
pleased with His new individual creation<br />
of chocolate. You can taste the<br />
flavor of many Nations as you begin<br />
to interact with these masterpieces<br />
and allow the full flavor to reveal its<br />
multi-national splendor!<br />
Now that you know how flavorful<br />
and colorful each chocolate piece is,<br />
you should be extra careful to enjoy<br />
the entire creation and embrace all of<br />
it, the outside as well as the diverse<br />
blend of shades and flavors within.<br />
