Something that I am learning this week is to be true to myself. Not to worry about WHAT I DO but rather to consider WHO I AM.
I don't want to be SOMETHING, I want to be SOMEONE.
Who I am is a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an auntie and a friend.
I am also a creative person, a thinker, a prayer, a person who loves to laugh and also to share my life with others. I enjoy kids and music and road trips.
There is a lot to me! :0)
On my birthday this year, I shared 33 things about myself.
I thought maybe since I'm in this whole self realization mode, I might as well share the rest of my list with my readers.
Over year or so ago, I was challenged by a friend to write out 100 things about myself. I posted those things on my myspace blog, before this blog ever existed.
