I feel I am……

🧶 I crochet & give everything away…..my Mom taught me how to crochet when I was a teenager. I feel close to her whenever I crochet…I love doing it & it is my natural tranquilizer. I also feel so happy to gift my creates. Grateful 🙏

❤️ Kindness…..finding ways each day to share my smile with others & kindness opportunities…..as easy as saying hello to a stranger….sending uplifting, funny messages (quotes/graphics, etc) every day to a group of friends 😊

🙏 Practicing Gratitude

I have the ability to create things that move people which is sometimes an awesome responsibility. I also can make music! One of the gifts I have is something I was made aware of not too long ago- that I can think creatively in all situations - we can make something fun out of almost anything if we choose to!

Two gifts I know I have are the gits to organize, and coordinate. Maybe a third and fourth are the gifts of learning and connectedness. I absolutely love using what I learn to develop and connect people to resources that enhance their well being, regardless of the circumstances or their station in life.. I'm a late bloomer and did not recognize these gifts until my early forties when I stumbled upon my calling, and I continue to enjoy sharing my gifts in several different settings.

I for one am so glad you "stumbled on your calling." The gifts you mention are clearly manifest!
