Passion
I have many passions and I will be sharing a few here. As the title and subtitle say, I believe my passions are lifetime loves. Could any of my passions make me money? I think not, but let's take a look at the list here and decide if any of the following is a dream that may make money.

Unidentified
First, I want to tell everyone that I am not a photographer. I am still submitting my entry for this challenge. My husband and I moved from the urban area of the twin cities, Minneapolis, and St. Paul, in Minnesota, in 2012 to farm country in the north, between Grand Rapids and Hibbing. Since that time, I have seen herds of deer, skunks, hundreds of different kinds of birds; including eagles, hawks, and owls, foxes, porcupines, mink/weasel, ground hogs, field mice, mosquitos, wood ticks, bees, wasps, fly’s, ants, frogs, crickets, bats, and other unidentified critters. I believe I saw a mountain lion twice. I have seen many dogs, cats, horses, cows and chickens, alpaca, mules, ducks, and other farm animals. My grandchildren, living just down the road, have six pets for six household members. I think the pandemic has done something to them and others. People that never had critters now have one for every person in the family. And some people take their critters everywhere. And after mentioning many of the animals I have seen in the last several years, I do not have a decent picture of any of them. My photo for this challenge is very disappointing. Please excuse me. I intend to work on my photography after totally embarrassing myself here.

Odaminwaagan
Odaminwaagan is the Ojibwe language word for toy or doll. I am Anishinabe, the Ojibwe word for the people. I have always loved sewing since home economics class in middle school. And for many years I did not sew. But I knew how to follow a pattern and sew on a button.

CAMEO
I am not a horoscope person. I do know I am a Capricorn and my husband is a Pisces and we are compatible. I know a little bit more but not much. So, why am I even writing for this topic? Intriguing is what it is, all that super this and super that, warm and generous.

Socialized Native American
I grew up brown, I was familiar with the frown and how some called it stoic. I didn’t see that with family, as what we did best together was laugh. A professor said, “I thought you were shy. I understand why, as I was socialized to watch and listen, more than speak. The saying is we have two eyes, two ears, and one mouth for a reason. Except, no one had to say that. We just knew.
