Thanks to some encouraging words from my mother it's my new motto. Aren't we all like this in some things? I have to say that being a mother, although I don't have time to perfect any one subject, I study many different things that interest me, or in order to educate myself about something. I am a pianist, a guitarist, a singer, a parenting expert (I know the skills, however I don't always use them), a baker, a dog trainer, a nurse, a counselor, a financial expert, a gardener, an organizer, a chef, a personal trainer, definitely a maid, most certainly a servant, unfortunately for my husband a comedian, a nutritionist, a beautician, a coach, a martial arts student (that's right...I've got a yellow belt!) a chauffeur, a decorator, a story teller, a writer, a yogi, a teacher, a mediator, an advocate, a scriptorian, a disciple, and best of all a daughter of god.
There is no time (for now) to become a master of any one of these things, and for now I am content with just "dabbling" and learning about anything that interests me. I love being a mom. I may not work in the "working world" but it gives me all the more time to study and refine talents and skills that benefit myself as well as my family. Lucky me!
What are your skills? I was surprised I could come up with so many. Make a post on your blog...I want some new skills! (You know like nunchuck skills....computer hacking skills)

WOW Joalea ... that's quite a great list of things. I'll have to think about it and put some down on my blog. Thanks for sharing!
love the list...you are DYNAMIC girl!!
Guys only like girls that have great skills. How do you think I nabbed Seth. My beauty, nah, it's my killer skill of making a mean loaf of Zuchinni bread!
You are amazing! I have to say that you are one of those people that I give as an example of a "super mom"....i'm not joking. The conversation goes as follows...."I have this friend that has four kids, a spotless house, cooks amazing dinners, bakes her own bread and still has time to excercise and look great!". At least there are people like you that I can be inspired to become like.
That is a great list. We can all learn from each other. I love learning from other as well as teaching others. I'll have to think of some things and post them in a blog post. Maybe I could take paino lessons from you. Jarom bought me a keyboard about 4 years ago, and I tried to learn on my own, but I was not very successful. I love paino music. It is just so relaxing. I have bought so many cd's that are just piano music to listen to in the car, while I study or do crafts, meditate, etc. One of my problems is that my hands are so small I have a hard time stretching my pinky as far as it needs to go sometimes. LOL!
