Finish the Sentence Friday Blog Hop #17

Filed Under: FTSF Tagged With: , , , , ,

Welcome back to Finish The Sentence Friday Blog Hop (FTSF).  We give you a sentence and you finish it (however long or short you’d like).  Please feel free to link up and follow any or all of our hostesses, which are below.

And now for this week’s sentence to finish:  “I am very passionate about…”
And next week’s sentence to finish:  “If I were stuck on an island, I would like to have…”

I am very passionate about…  Well, this answer has definitely changed and evolved for me over the years.

As a small kid, I probably would have answered my parents or even my grandparents. Still do have passionate feelings about these people mind you (even though my grandparents are no longer with us).

Loved my Family (My Grandparents) as a Little Girl!!

As I grew, I might have even answered the latest toy of the month or even the week. (I see this with my kids and their toys).

As a teenager, I would have to say my music. I had quite an extensive collection of CD’s (it was the 90s and CDs ruled). I loved listening to music in goods times and in bad. So my music choices varied by moods (still do I suppose). But this is when I began to cultivate my own tastes in music and really got me through those tumultuous years. I also loved writing and always listened to music when I did write. The two always went together hand and hand for me (still does ).

In my twenties, I was very passionate about one person in particular. That was an ex-boyfriend I fell madly in love with. I would say it was my first real adult love. Because I even though I had boyfriends before, I was still a teen and was truly more the puppy love type of love.


Unfortunately, he had his own demons to concur in the form or alcohol and drugs. I took that break up badly admittedly so. I wrote so much during this time about my feelings and experiences.

I serial dated for a few years. Finally, I met Kevin and thank god I did. I finally found love and the right kind of love with him.

Definitely, so happy and passionate about Kevin!!

And since that time (10 years going strong), I am so very passionate about our relationship. In good and bad, sickness and health, richer or poor, we have something so special. Yes, I can’t help, but be passionate about us.

And once I got pregnant and had my kids, I truly became very passionate about them and being a mother.

My Little Loves!!

I am also still listening to great music, writing to my heart’s content daily and have my family, too.

My point is the feeling of being passionate is ever evolving and probably keep evolving ever so slightly as I get older, but one thing is for sure I will always love and be passionate about Kevin and my girls.

Now tell me, in the comments, about your passion(s). Or write a post and link it up! And be sure to share my story with all your FB and Twitter friends. We’ll also be featuring some of our favorites on Twitter with the Hashtag #FTSF and our Facebook pages too, so make sure to follow. Don’t forget to grab a button and put it somewhere people will see. We’d are hoping to keep this hop going strong and continue this for a long time to come!

    LOL…what am I not passionate about. I'm passionate about life, and helping others, and writing, and Bev, and unlimited possibilities, and love, and…and…and

    Have a great weekend!

  2. Stephanie Sprenger says

    You are so right- passion does evolve over the years. I love all the photos you included- perfect! So fun to read more about the evolution of YOU!

  3. Jean Heff says

    It always comes down to the people who surround you. I'm sure your family can feel that passion in how you live your life with them everyday. Love the picture of your grandparents. Touching.

  5. SarahA says

    I went back and forth about my post-I AM passionate about my kids, but I just couldn't get the post to come out right. Then I thought waaaaaait a minute, let's be funny and work it into my key losing post. 😉

  10. Lisa Newlin says

    Aw, this is a sweet post. Might I request more wedding photos in later posts? Yes, yes I might, and I will. Let's make that happen. 🙂

    OOOOOH! NEWSFLASH: GENIUS IDEA!

    We should do a blog hop where we all post wedding photos and talk about something about our wedding day. Yes, I want this to happen. I'm posting it on Bloppy now and I'm sucking you in too. It's happening.

  13. Robin Rue says

    G-n-R were great, weren't they? November Rain is still one of my favorite songs of all time. And you're totally right, 90's music did rule, but I was more a of child of the 80's, so I am also VERY into that music, too.

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thanks Robin and I loved November Rain. I swear I must have listened to that CD a thousand times and always hit replay on November Rain. And am also with you on the music of the 80s (I was born in 1977)!! 🙂

  15. Melanie Chisnall says

    That's very sweet Janine, and am totally with you on being passionate about family and the people closest to us. I don't know why but I've gotten so mushy talking about my husband lately. I think he's beginning to get a complex, LOL. I suppose when we have children one day we'll be just as passionate about them too….well, I hope so! 🙂 Happy weekend!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thanks Melanie and I too am a bit mushy still about my husband and my kids (as much as they can be beasts at times!), they are all mine and truly love them to pieces!! 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend and feel better!!

  26. jamie@southmainmuse says

    What an awesome photo of you and your passionate man. Woo. And I too could have put music. I had a huge collection of albums, then CDs — and now on my iPod. Good music helps set the mood for most things — even a mad dash clean around the house.

  27. ttoombs08 says

    Those are great things to be passionate about, Janine, and your family is lucky to have such a lovely person in their lives! It'll be interesting to see what passions are added in the next 10 years. 🙂 Thank you for hosting a fun blog hop.

  28. Joan Veronica Robert says

    Lovely post and I do so agree! Our passions do change over time. I'm just hapy I can still feel passionate about something as I get nearer to the end of my life. Have a great day, and thanks for the ever supportive comments on my posts.

  30. Christina (Tina) Mor says

    I love your answer and the photos! I'm so happy you found the right kind of love with Kevin. I don't think my answers are any different in regards to family and writing, but I do have one that I can add and that is my love for singing. I'm a vocalist without a vocal coach. 🙁 I'm still hoping that singing will become a bigger part of my life. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment on my blog. Have a fabulous weekend!

  33. Cyndi says

    Janine – haha! I loved reading about your different passions. That picture of you and Kevin – I STILL SAY – is one of my all-time favorites. Here's to a lifetime of passions and memories. 😉

  34. Dakota Adelphia says

    I love this post – great job Janine.
    I'm not a wife (or a mom, yet!), but eventually those will be my passions. Right now I'm very passionate about blogging, learning, and playing the piano. 🙂

    Thanks!
    ~Dakota

  41. Kera says

    Sorry I missed this week's link up! It was a good one. I LOVE that photo of you and Kevin at your wedding. I'd have to say that I'm passionate about my family and of course Sofia. And adopting Dallas has made me passionate about doing as much as I can to help other homeless dogs or dogs that are in shelters. And the beach…I'm passionate about that, too 🙂

  42. Kristi Campbell says

    I'm just now getting around to commenting on the FTSF posts. I love the photo of you and Kevin – so cool how you're in color and the guests are in black and white. Oh and I serial dated for a few years too. Glad we found our guys!

  45. Amanda says

    Hi Janine! Thanks for swapping buttons with me. 🙂 Please go here to get your button on my page. .
    Go to the Groovy Button Love option. Have a great rest of your Saturday! <3 Amanda*

  46. Kate Hall says

    I agree. Our passions are evolving. Writing wasn't a passion of mine until two years ago. Experiences change us.

    I really like your wedding photos – that color on b/w is so cool!

  47. Joan Veronica Robertson says

    Hi Janine! A question, what is the prompt for next Friday? so far I’ve seen the “cool” one (again) and one about an island. Which is it going to be? I’m already planning and I don’t know what to plan! Have a good day!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh so sorry Joan, I must have just forgot to update it above. And thank you for telling me, I just edited it. The sentence next weekend is: “If I were stuck on an island, I would like to have..” Sorry again for the confusion and can’t wait to see what you come up with now!! 🙂
