This is an awesome movement and I'll be sharing both of your posts, as well as checking out the others. One thing I love about myself is that I can generally find the positive in any situation. It may take a little time if there's an initial shock or challenge, but I always find equilibrium and joy eventually instead of carrying the stress with me forever.Alicia | Jaybirdhttp://jaybirdblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928598130851835729.post-51116160488296174142014-03-09T22:06:12.872-04:002014-03-09T22:06:12.872-04:00This link up is great!

I can vouch for so many of these for you (though, I would LOVE to hear you speak Welsh. Let's make it happen soon.) and I am so very thankful to have all of these qualities in such a beautiful friend. <br /><br />As for my friend, Jess...I love her strength of conviction, passion for people, and unwavering loyalty. She's pretty great.

I have awesome hair. It can be curly, it can be straight, it is versatile! Yes, my hair is a chameleon.<br />2. I can paint my fingernails like a boss! Get my on my level! Looks like a professional manicure, all the time.<br />3. Anytime I try something new, I can usually catch the hang of it in a few tries. Except snowboarding. But I hate snowboarding and skiing, so those don't count.<br />4. I can pick up languages easily. I'd like to thank my high school Spanish teacher for that. Went to France, having never spoke French, and picked up the language in a day or so. I once learned Welsh because I was bored, and picked up Latin by reading my friend's textbook.<br />5. I like that I can be creative and technical. <br />6. I am not very tactical when I speak sometimes, but I like that about myself, that I don't try to sugarcoat things, and can speak plainly. <br />7. People have called me brave, and I like to think I am, but really, I am scared to death most of the time, but manage to do brave ridiculous things anyway.<br />8. I sound exactly like my mother. And because she is awesome, I love that about myself. I try to channel her hardcore spirit when I am running after things that scare me.<br />9. 'Satisfaction is not in my nature.' -Loki... I am competitive! And I dig it.<br />10. Reading is akin to breathing for me, I've always been able to read incredibly quickly and comprehend.<br /><br />That being said, I am super encouraged by all you awesome ladies celebrating yourselves! <br /><br />So as not to be completely self-centered in this comment, here is something I like about Christy:<br />I appreciate that she gives me her time and energy, while she is an introvert. I know it wears her out, but I am always refreshed by our time! Thanks, girl. :)<br /><br />-jessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928598130851835729.post-15227590054400623782014-03-05T15:26:52.466-05:002014-03-05T15:26:52.466-05:00This is such a great link-up idea and I loved writ...This is such a great link-up idea and I loved writing my post! :-) Owning up to your own mistakes is such a great quality to have - it's something I definitely need to improve on.Lisa @ Naptime Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661999435893416022noreply@blogger.com
