I think I wanted to know what you're asking us here...what makes you, you? In short, it's my faith, my family, and my friends make me who I am today. Of course there's more to it than that, but we'd have to chat over some kind of food to cover it all! =)Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145504027833176749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146849164685900054.post-34793412294188471392009-08-09T20:36:00.012-07:002009-08-09T20:36:00.012-07:00Now to become a follower!Now to become a follower!Kwanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428954660974395117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146849164685900054.post-52888004178627054322009-08-09T20:35:38.428-07:002009-08-09T20:35:38.428-07:00Hmm...

However you have seen my blog and you and I follow each other on Twitter :-)<br /><br />I am woman who takes chances and accepts that sometimes I will fail. Sometimes I will hurt. But it's worth it~ the journey is totally worth it. I have been learning that I trust too easily and always think that all people are good but they are not. That has been a sad lesson in my life but it doesn't keep me from loving, trusting and taking those chances. I am in love with a wonderful man who loves me back "even more".

Living in Utah that doesn't happen much, but we love to do other things together too!<br />All the people and things I surround myself with is what makes me who I am-- a happy, most the time peaceful mom and wife who loves life!Our Crazy Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06876932775623179357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146849164685900054.post-80380796414334808622009-08-08T09:55:32.019-07:002009-08-08T09:55:32.019-07:00I am a bipolar SAHM to two little boys, my younges...I am a bipolar SAHM to two little boys, my youngest is fighting Cancer, and that about sums it up!

I am sometimes told there is something unique in the way I move. The slight awkwardness in my gestures, I guess. The imbalance in every step. The glimmer of grace that I imagine flickers on and off. I care about my body, what goes into it or onto it, but <br /><br />I am more than my body. I am more than the tattoos etched onto my skin or the skirts that I wear or the glasses I choose not to. I am more than my voice, which is too quiet most of the time and often uncertain. There is more than my external timidity. There is my internal strength. <br /><br />I am more than the sum of my passions; the notebooks I fill; the books I read; the films I watch; the classes I attend; the places I go...<br /><br />I am the curve and margins of my handwriting. I am, literally, off-beat. I wouldn't say I dance to my own drummer. Rather, I am incapable of moving in any defined rhythm. I am a little of everyone around me and everyone I have ever met, as they are a little of me. <br /><br />My experiences don't define me, but some of them describe me. I backpacked halfway across the country. I sat by the Mississippi River in New Orleans watching the moon rise in an unbroken window one month after Hurricane Katrina. I tried to stretch my arms around a Redwood. I jumped into the ocean at Venice Beach naked. I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. I have woken up on an island in the Philippines. I have sailed down the Seine. I've gone hiking in the Grand Canyon. I've traveled by ship and train and plane and bus and by foot and hitchhiking.<br /><br />I can't hold still. I am so light and restless that the wind can blow me around. I am so heavy that I can sink into rock. I am my desire to merge with the universe. I am my desire to be my best self.<br /><br />I am a girl who does origami when she is sad, stringing paper cranes across walls. I love classical guitar, cooking, eating, rainy days, bookstores. But I am more than what or who or how I love.<br /><br />What makes me who I am--<br />It isn't something simple. There's my flesh and my bones, but my essence is my soul and there's no blueprint or definition for that. I am several thousands of things, most of which can't be pinned down, but here's trying...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146849164685900054.post-68713321785708547292009-08-07T10:25:56.452-07:002009-08-07T10:25:56.452-07:00* Now following you :-)* Now following you :-)JaelCustomDesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16582793131116054168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146849164685900054.post-54145882338808198922009-08-07T10:25:08.037-07:002009-08-07T10:25:08.037-07:00I'm Jen and I wear many hats so what makes me ...I'm Jen and I wear many hats so what makes me who I am would definitely be the trials and tribulations I've encountered on my journey through this thing called "LIFE" <br /><br />I'm mommy to four beautiful children ages 13, 11, 9, and 18 mos.

If not, ask your daughter about it, it is a quite delightful website :)<br /><br />My name is Esther Lee. I am a very ambitious and driven girl who someday hope to have neurosurgery as a job. I dislike it when people ask me what I want to be and expect me to give them a job description as an answer- although that is often the easiest way to go, I feel like what I AM and what I would like to BECOME is only sightly affected by my choice of job.

One of my friends recently told me that the only thing he'll ever come to expect of me is change. I laughed because it's true. I've spent the last four years living in four cities.

Hi everyone.. My name i...Congrats on this new blog.<br />Hi everyone.. My name is Andrena. I'm from the Caribbean and living in London for the past 11 years. What makes me me? Well, I think that I'm finding this out every day. <br /><br />A year ago, I had to stop working because my passport was stolen by a family friend and I had to apply for residency and so until I get that I cannot work. <br /><br />In this frustrating time, I have been rediscovering my creativity and also volunteering. Now, I have two jobs line up waiting for me (my old job as an actuary and a new one at the place I volunteer at doing youth research). So please pray for me that I get my passport soon. It's been a yr! <br /><br />I have now a deeper appreciation and love for myself and have discovered my strength and also the unconditional love from my bf have made relax and accept being taken care of. I've learnt that I don't have to be a superwoman.Lion-esshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150985707591134279noreply@blogger.com
