Dana Hall encourages Baby Boomers to
live passionate lives
 Dana’s
story is one of renewal and reinvention at mid-life.
She is a 46-year-old wife and mother of two. Dana describes
her life as if it has just begun. Before kids, she was a senior
underwriter for a national insurance company. She remembers
being 30 years old, working at a career that did not bring her
joy, and thinking how wonderful it would be to have a job she
loved. At that time, Dana had no idea what that job would be.
Fifteen years ago, her first child was born with a major birth
defect; he was born without an esophagus. Years of surgeries
and stress, and Dana and her husband found themselves in counseling.
Fortunately, the counselor asked Dana the question, “What
are your hopes and dreams?” Dana had no idea.
Dana embarked upon a journey of self-discovery. She learned
to live her life authentically. She learned that the old, negative
views of herself that kept her in a box were untrue. Dana learned
to trust herself and to take a chance on her dreams and on herself.
She concluded that life should be lived fully, and with passion.
Dana’s dream is to inspire others to discover their passions,
and live their own passionate lives. She created Passionate
for Life, the online magazine for living your passionate
life. http://www.passionateforlife.com.
Dana enlisted writers and life coaches who are all passionate
about living their best lives, and about helping others do the
same, to work on the magazine with her. On Passionate
for Life, the key elements of living life with passion
are addressed. Dana’s new on-line community explores the
power of passion; how to discover your passion; how to live
a life of purpose, authentically and with passion; the art of
living passionately; finding your dream career; reinventing
yourself mid-life, and many more related topics.
Dana suggests that today’s baby boomers are very lucky
to live in a time when reinventing ourselves at mid-life is
not only acceptable, but encouraged. These baby boomers are
paving the path for future generations, and changing the “look”
of mid-life.
What can we learn from Dana?
The only thing holding us back is action. With each new action-step
on a new journey comes new discovery and energy for a more fulfilling
life.
