Passion. It’s what I live for. To wake up every single day and follow my heart while staying wildly passionate about the life I’m living. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are my favorite band in the whole world for that reason. Passion. They have it. There was an indescribable energy in the air at Crossroads that Friday evening of October 5. I shouted, jumped, twirled, danced and sang my heart out for their nearly 3 hour set. I was reminded this life is worth living…and it feels dang awesome to be alive.

What are some experiences in your life that have reminded you it’s great to be alive? Answer in the comments below…
