I'm a woman that is absolutely in love with life....I'm doing what I love to do-as a massage therapist,a writer,a seeker of all that touches my soul and lifts my body.
I find great pleasure in the midst of chaos, in time with nature and kindred spirits.
I love the wisdom and clarity of Paulo Coelho, the music that makes me dance, and being present with the person I'm with.
I write to fulfill my soul and, hopefully, to touch others.
Let us see what it says about your unique personality traits.
A. Trees
If the first thing you see are trees and/or tree trunks, there is a large possibility you are an extrovert. You show kindness to strangers and are polite to those you know, but you have a limit and there are two things you won’t tolerate: being pushed around or mocked.
You are a sensitive soul who shows compassion to others. You pretend not to really care, but the truth is that you care greatly what they think of you.
Even though you surround yourself with people you consider to be friends, you know deep down in your heart that only a few of them are sincere and authentic. You come across as a sensitive person, but make no mistake- you are as strong as they come. You are also extremely intuitive and when it comes to showing your true emotions you would rather hide them than put them on display.
In addition, you tend to not trust people very easily. You are a mystery to some people, and they’ll never figure out what’s going on in your mind. You have a tendency to say ‘yes’ to new opportunities, making sure you succeed in anything you put your mind to.
B. Roots
If you noticed roots first, you are likely an introvert. Acknowledging your mistakes and accepting constructive criticism is what helps you to improve yourself for the future.
At first, when people meet you, their first impression of you is usually wrong. It’s likely you’ve heard “when I met you I didn’t think I’d like you,” or “when I first met you I thought _” countless times. However this impression changes when they get to know you and they start to realize you are extremely wise, and have tons of personality. It’s really not your fault you give off a different vibe at first- we all have walls for a reason after all.
You are someone who is incredibly diligent with tasks. If you want to accomplishing something, you will. You have morals and principles which you use as a guide to live by. This has made you the kind of person who knows what they want and will achieve success in life because of this clarity. When people get to know the real you, it becomes obvious you are an independent and responsible person who always strives to be a better version of themselves. You suffer from low self-esteem sometimes, but you have genuine friends who remind you of how amazing you truly are when you need to be reminded of it.
C. Lips
If lips are what you first saw when you looked at the image, you are a simple and quiet person. You prefer an average life which is not complicated by unnecessary commotion to find fulfillment. You are very flexible in your thoughts and manners and always go with the flow.
You are wise and also sometimes naive as your thoughts are not malicious and you always have good intent. You may be perceived as weak and in need of help but in reality that is not true. You have strength in dealing with problems on your own without the help of anyone.
You do not care for complicated relationships and like to be honest with people. Therefore people come to you for advice or to talk to because they know they can trust your opinion.
When I was born on Mother’s day, my mom and my Mema declared that I was their “mother’s day present” and from that day forward, no other gift I could give them mattered as much because I made them who they wanted to be- a mom and a Mema.
I used to think it was silly the way they would write on my birthday cards, “to our Mother’s day present” and how they would tell everyone I was “extra special delivery” because I was born on such an important day.
I was spoiled rotten by both of them. I knew it and they knew it, too.
I really do get it now.
I understand how they felt about me in ways I couldn’t understand when I was younger.
I am who they were…now.
I am a mom and a Jamma. My “presents” don’t come in packages tied with bows anymore.
My favorite gifts have names and they call me names.
They made me who I am and who I want to be.
Sunday afternoon, I stood on my porch as my little blonde Charli ran as fast as she could and jumped into my arms, both of us squeezing tight after 3 months apart due to the Covid 19 outbreak and the issuing Shelter In Place.
That’s the best present. That’s the gift I was born for
I was born on Mother’s day to become a daughter that was known and loved unconditionally so I could become a mom and Jamma that knows and loves unconditionally, too, just like I was taught to do.
There’s a quote by Anne LaMont that came to mind as I was surrounded by my children and grandchildren.
“I think this is how we are supposed to be… Present and in awe.”
I was present and in awe as I watched my sons discuss politics.
I was present and in awe as I picked out yellow lantana, red salvia and purple verbana with my husband.
I was present and in awe as I read the words on the shirt my daughter picked for me.
I was present and in awe of every bite of my shortcake covered with berries and cream.
I was present and in awe of the laughter I heard coming from everyone gathered in my home.
I was present and in awe of the people that reached out to me with messages and cards and gifts that showed I was known and loved.
I was present and in awe of how much I’m becoming like the women that raised me.
Mother’s day falls on my birthday,or maybe it’s the other way around, every four years, and every time I realize more and more what a gift it is to be present and in awe of what I receive and what I give.
Today was full of intentions
I woke up with words on my mind
Did the things I was required
Then dressed with care
I put on my favorite stones
Slipped on a shirt for which I’m known
Tied a belt around my waist
Red lips and pink cheeks
I started to head to my hiding place
925 was calling my name
But then my son said
” I feel so hopeless, not sure of what to do… Everything seems to be harder
Than I ever thought it could be”
So I did what was needed
Grabbed a chair and sat
We had one cup after another
Hours flew by
Next thing I knew
The day was done
Night peeked thru
Not a word got written
Not until just now
I did what I had to
And now I’m about spent
There’s so many stories
I’m longing to tell
But looks like I’m. Going to have to wait to write
Take the ribbon from your hair, Shake it loose and let it fall,
Layin’ soft upon my skin. Like the shadows on the wall.
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I’m takin’ is your time. Help me make it through the night.
I don’t care what’s right or wrong, I don’t try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow. Lord, tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow’s out of sight.
And it’s sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night.
I don’t care what’s right or wrong, (Yes, I do!)
I don’t try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow. Lord, tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow’s out of sight.
Lord, it’s bad to be alone. Help me make it through the night.
