strength finder test shows that i am practical and meaningful

The inspirational Jan Mc Carthy gave me the book Strengths Finder 2.0 and after taking the test, here is where i landed:

arranger - effective flexibility

self assurance - having faith in my strengths

responsibility - ownership and follow through

activator - once a decision is made, i cannot not act

connectedness - belief in life force, that everything is meaningful and connected.

very practical and very meaningful.

Special drawing party

We had a special group of women book a drawing party recently. They were celebrating their friend's 65th birthday and since she is an artist, they wanted to treat her to a bit of fun.

She arrived to the studio and was thrilled to see her friends and to have a nice lunch at an art studio - then we surprised her by unveiling the true event - the nude model.

They giggled like school girls, made great drawings, and had a wonderful time. Celebrating life in a new and exciting way! Meaningful and Practical!
