When I think of what I am good at…well, I love a million things…but what am I good at? Oh man, I could not go into business for anything. I studied a million languages, but none to perfection, though I do speak Spanish well enough to claim it. I love dance and the fine arts. I love getting my hands muddy on a potter’s wheel. Photography intrigues me. I enjoy changing my physique through nutrition and exercise. I like trying new things, new experiences (excepting those involving cow intestine.) I adore looking at home decor and artistic architecture. I feel alive exploring nature, history, cultures, and continents. I cherish and am fascinated by principles of liberty and the concept of liberating captive whether via education, health, feeding the hungry, friendship, repentance, etc. Pregnancy, birth, and lactation…I know enough to feel entirely at ease and help others who want help from me. I make a few mean Italian and other dishes and can bottle preserves like a Great Depression guru. I love my faith. I adore homeschooling with my kids. Music moves me. I’m a romantic. I love a good conversation with a bite of controversy so I can learn something. Reading has always given me inspiration and changed me. I love most being around people I can learn from and helping my family.
But, to do what I really need to do in life, I don’t need to go into business for some special talent. In fact, while I have a hard time labeling myself an expert or lover of any particular topic, it is enough to love and enjoy and express myself through many genres of life! Don’t you think that works?
What I can do darn well…I could almost write a book…is being a woman. I can do that.
