I Didn’t Know I Could Sing

Can you think back to when you realized you had a particular talent or gift for something? Perhaps you wrote a short story and someone complimented you on your writing skills. Perhaps you tried your hand at baking and your family and friends were blown away with your approach to a recipe that they hadn’t ever considered. Or maybe you signed up for a 5K run and were surprised by how well you performed that you realized with a little extra effort, you could be exceptional. We have to have these opportunities to try something new in order to see if it is something we enjoy and/ or something we might have a talent for. These are important beginnings to possible careers, side hustles, or hobbies that can become lifelong passions...
