Such sense of reality with flair! You put yesterday’s post in perspective.

Excellent advice, beautifully rendered. I have just done a big values and strenghts exercise for some personal coaching I’m involved in, and “athenticity” was high on my list of values.

Too bad it takes so long……………….(sometimes)

Yes… I’m with Mimi. It can take a long time to know who you are. And for some of us it can be the most challenging thing we have to do in our short lives.

Same wavelength with me today. I just wrote a little snip for a future post about this very subject! This is the first place I came to visit after I finished, kind of goosebumpy moment.
If only more teenage girls could understand this message. -
Thank you! I have been thinking the past few days that I don’t know what I am going to do in a couple of years when my son goes to first grade and I need to go back to the work world (if we are ever to afford a home). I have a B.A. in Art and a teaching credential. I was a bilingual teacher (Spanish) for 8 years, before my daughter was born, eight years ago. So, now I have had this job, Mama, longer than any other. I feel like I need to start preparing. And your words today remind me to have courage, follow my dreams–and my priorities (is that possible?). Thank you!

Mimi’s correct, it can take a long time to figure it all out. One of my oldest woman friends here, who’s always been super-successful professionally, would lament ironically that she wondered what she was going to be when she grew up. Me too, I’d reply. Finally, just before we turned 60, each of us found our respective vocation: I became a translator, and she (who’d completed her Ph.D. in her 50s) got a tenure-track faculty position in her field at the big university here — where, coincidentally, Farmboy Husband also teaches and I went back to school to study Portuguese!

Roger that.

Thread-weaving here: How about art therapy, perhaps for Spanish-speaking clients?

Thank you for the advice my friend, I try to be.

I believe this, “know yourself” was ment to take a long time. We have to go through all the passages to find out what we stand for..and the wisdom to listen to that inner voice that we smother sometimes because of one reason or another.
Knowing myself now, in my middle 60’s, sure makes some people very unhappy!!! I love it:-) -
As my Mom would say, God bless her, youth is wasted on the young.

I love her shoes and the crow…one crow sorrow one crow joy before the morrow
Very talented painter….thanks for sharing
Happy Mother’s Day tomorrow everyone….I was talking with my cousin in England and they celebrate Mother’s Day in March -
Growing up (many, many years ago) I always tried to live by the Shakespeare verse, “To thine own self, be true”. Later I have tried to instill those words in my now grown children. It is so important to understand who you are….. My best, Lisa
