It seems this week is going to be a BIG one. With CnC's going on, I am also co-hosting a link-up tomorrow and I am participating in the Bigs and Littles Blogging Network too! Sometime this week I need to do a weekend recap (because it was a big weekend) AND I still need to download the photos from Florida. We have been home for a month! YIKES! Hopefully I can throw in a craft or two.....sounds like a lot. I'll try my best! Also I want to give a shout out to my new followers there on the left and to those on Bloglovin'! Thanks for joining me! I hope you like what you read. Onto the convo.....
This weeks question:
What do you consider your two greatest strengths? What about the areas you would like to improve?
Whooooooeeee. This is a good question. What are my strengths? This is always a hard question for me because I tend to build myself down....not up.....there's an area of improvement right off the bat. I guess I would say that I love deeply and with conviction. If you are in my life it's for a reason and I hold onto that connection very strongly. I tend to go above and beyond for those people and truly try to make them feel like a special part of my life. When someone chooses to leave my life for whatever reason it's very hard for me to let go because that person found their way into my heart and there will always be a place for them there, regardless of the situation that caused them to leave. If someone asks for my help, I am always willing to jump in and do so. I love to listen and even if I don't have a solution I feel like I can be a good sounding board for all my family and friends. I am a redhead, and they say that we are passionate people, and I think that's true. I am passionate about my relationships, my hobbies, and anything else that is deemed worthy in my heart.
An area I can improve upon is: I don't let go of things easy, I like to hold onto them and think about how if the situation had been different how my life would look now....but honestly this is an area I need to work on. Letting go of things that aren't in my control. I am a controlling person, and like things to be done a certain way, but I need to know that if I cannot control it, then I should just let it be. This one has been something I have been working on a lot recently, within the last year. Letting go of situations a can't control, feelings that have harbored over the years, anything that causes undo stress in my life I have tried to just let it be. I have made great strides in this, but I think it will always be an area in my life that I will need to work on. However since the hubby and I decided to do this, our relationship and our all-over well being has improved dramatically! I can be thankful of that! We both understand what's worth fighting for and what isn't. Our relationship is, other things are not.
Another strength I have is that I tend to be extremely organized, in my own way. Again this stems from me being controlling and wanting things done a certain way....however I do have a mild case of O.C.D. and I know where everything is at any given time. I do have to say that my filing system does tend to get a little lazy, but when it comes to re-organizing the hubby and I tend to get it done rather quickly and usually everything has a place. I also HATE clutter, so we like to go through our things and get rid of clothes, or other items that we haven't used in the past year to eighteen months and donate it to charity. You look around my desk at the office and it (for the most part) tends to be the cleanest and easiest area to find paperwork in.....I also tend to stack finishes and fabrics in a very neat way and have files and folders for EVERYTHING! Thus why I can find it all, and if I am ever out at a job site I can explain to someone calling me very easy! I wish I could be more organized at home, but with little storage in an apartment I deal with what I have, and let go of what I cannot control! See! I am trying!!!!
Those are some things that are my strengths and weaknesses. I'm sure there are probably better ones, but I couldn't think of any but these! I hope you enjoyed reading and that you head on over and link up your own discussion! The hosts of this great link up are Kalyn at
