I often wonder who I am in the grand scheme of things, in my little place in this world. What niche am I carving for myself? I am a girl who drives an orange VW bug with a Boise State license plate frame. I live in a yellow house with red shutters, comfortable porch and a welcome mat. I cook in a yellow kitchen with red plaid curtains...my happy colors. I love a clean home and organization, though I'm not perfect. I hate clutter as it drives me nuts and messes with my feng shui. I love chocolate covered raisins, Cherry Coke Zero, homemade pizza and salads with grilled chicken. I am a reader, movie lover, yoga enthusiast and sometimes runner who enjoys journaling, writing, blogging and pretty pens. I am a peacemaker, people pleaser and introvert. I say yes to most things asked of me, just to please, even though sometimes I don't want to. I'm an analytical thinker. I have the ability to look at both sides and think things through. I've never been one for spontaneity, but I'm trying. I am a wife of almost 24 years to KT, daughter to two great parents and mother to three: One air force son, one missionary son and one sophomore in high school daughter. Being a mother is the best job I've ever had. Yes, it is and has been tough, but oh so rewarding. It's who I am and who I was meant to be. I am a daughter of God, I love my Savior Jesus Christ. I try to please Him, too, and I am a Mormon.
If I were to sum up who I am, this is who I am, the niche I leave...
How would you sum yourself up?
What niche are you carving for yourself?

ReplyDeleteI'm a TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! haha :D
I agree with you about pizza and salad, Cherry Coke Zero, chocolate covered raisins. All delicious things!
:) What is it that defines us? Is it our roles? Is it our jobs? Is it other people? For me I try to put my identity as God's girl first... and most important... but it's hard to do. I ALSO love Cherry Coke Zero. ;) I couldn't live without Pizza... hmmm. Thought-provoking post.
ReplyDeleteWow. Well done in such a short time. I guess I'd have to say I'm still discovering who I am. :).
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job expressing yourself. I think your bug is my favorite orange color for a car. :)
ReplyDeleteNice to get to know YOU more. I have many roles: mom, professional, writer, seeker, feminine, traveler on a journey, Christian. Somehow distilling it down to descriptions seems inadequate in some ways.
