Who are your 5? Get up! Again and again!

I do not excel in all the areas I wish too! People have their different skills and talents. I love getting to know people and learning where their gifts are. I admire how developed and skilled people are in so many different ways. There is a study that says that you are a combination of the five people you spend the most time with. The study also says that if you are the best at things in your group, that you need a new group. You need to surround yourself with people who help you grow and push yourself to be better. Who are your top five? I struggled here because for decades I have surrounded myself with my family. Here are my top five: and what they help me grow in.

Scott - patience, playfulness, giving things to God and Letting go

Becky- dedication to physical well being. Pushes me to care for my physical body when I am not well and would rather stay in bed.

Carrie- she teaches me the beauty in simplicity. The joy of enjoying others as they are with no expectations.

My children- keep me humble, teach me so many areas of growth. Teach me to love 💗 Unconditionally!

My parents - teach me to keep living at any age

I am drawn to others and try to incorporate them into my life because they bless my world.

Elizabeth- she is a living example of a bright, beautiful woman who found joy in loving as Christ loves. Beyond all else her love is what makes her beautiful even more then her physical beauty.

Colleen- compassion and charity. I always need more of that in my life

Rosemary- self reflection, self acceptance, and sharing knowledge with others. A healer.

Amy Call - spunk, design creative, and a mother who has fun with her children and is all in with her family.

Desiree - quiet wisdom, fighter for family and good, serving others with her gifts.

Maria- feminine 🎀 rocks being all girl.

Janis Vause - power house of strength, musically talented, endless server.

Jill Eccles- natural with children, joyful soul. A giver.

Joanna Colvin- Wonder Woman! Never complains. Press on. Musically gifted, spiritually gifted. Hard worker!

Shelly Felt- a server, a good woman always serving quietly and endlessly.

I could go on and on. As I reflected on this I thought, what do I offer? I am not a musician, a scholar, certainly not the most charitable person, so what do I give ? I don’t want to be only a taker. I want to be a giver.

A quote I love “have COURAGE and be KIND” Cinderella 🎀 that is me. I have courage and am kind.

Who are your five ? The people you spend the most time with ? What qualities do they bring to your world and what do you give to them?

I don’t have the best immune system, I am not a scholar who can recall everything I study, I love music and am not a musician, I 💗 art and am not an accomplished artist, I 💗 gardening and have chaos in my garden, I am Christian and sin, I love other cultures and traveling and can not speak a foreign language. So the list could go forever. Here is the thing it is okay that I am NOT a lot of things. We are all beautiful in our own way!!

I AM:

A spiritually strong person, who has a passion and zest for life, I have an appreciation for all things beautiful, I am person of integrity, and I am kind and generous.

Who are you?

I keep trying no matter how painful it is spiritually, physically, mentally, or emotionally. Last week I did a run after having a stress fracture. I am not physically all well, but I did it. I walked in the MS walk in Salt Lake City and was moved to tears seeing so many who keep going with all their trials. I don’t know what your gifts are, but with spring I challenge you to blossom🌷 bloom! Let your light shine☀️

Assess your five, and what you offer and make the changes to be moving forward and upward☀️

Until next Monday sending love your way 💗
