As a toddler, I took a pinking sheers to a lovely gray corduroy jumper my mother had made for me.<br /><br />My mother always encouraged my artistic gifts - my father not at all.<br /><br />It took me several decades to find my way back to my artistic roots and I couldn't be happier!Eileen The Artful Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281091759658067977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605819207590206494.post-9963956843366727442010-07-09T11:14:44.762-04:002010-07-09T11:14:44.762-04:00What a wonderful post.

Your biggest strength is always your biggest weakness, thus the double edge. For example some people have admired my personal strength while others have found it to be intimidating. I do however relate to your having moved many times as I quit counting at 40. I do not have the wonderful class reunions that my friends are now looking forward to but what I do have is a wealth of experiences that astound people when I choose to share them, and the motivation to work on relationships in my life now that I have chosen to 'settle down in one place'. Thanks for the reminder that it is our own attitude that determines which side of the blade is being used.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965401814434836393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605819207590206494.post-35869321269942638372010-07-09T07:24:14.362-04:002010-07-09T07:24:14.362-04:00It's my pleasure, Erin.

And I love this thought about the personality traits that are your weaknesses but also your greatest strengths. I used to lead leadership retreats and one thing that we looked at was the native American idea of the medicine wheel. That which is your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness. We explored that in some depth. I think you and I share some of the same traits. Impatience, check. Community-seeking, check. I love to research things, but I don't feel that I know that much so I am not always sharing that position of strength. But if I don't know I will certainly find out. I love the path of least resistance and am basically the biggest procrastinator or perhaps a bit lazy. Whatever it is, it makes me work that much harder under pressure (gallery exhibit looming as proof). Thank you for always sharing yourself so willingly and always, always giving me something meaty to chew on.<br />Enjoy the day!<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605819207590206494.post-10956036282110788042010-07-08T12:32:07.102-04:002010-07-08T12:32:07.102-04:00Just a quick note to let you know that a link to t...Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on <a href="http://www.craftcrave.net" rel="nofollow">CraftCrave</a> today [08 Jul 12:00pm GMT].
