This was a challenge for me because I rarely talk about myself. But it was a great exercise because it humbly made me come to terms with what I like about myself.

I like that I’m calm, cool and collected. I think before I talk even when I’m upset.I’ll rather take a few deep breaths than fall into the drama.It’s tougher to walk away than to get in the mix and lose control.

I like that I can put myself in other people’s shoes and a great deal of that comes from the tough experiences life has thrown at me. Empathy isn’t just an emotional skill it’s a gift that has allowed me connect authentically with others. Part of my personal mission is to be the access point where others can experience God’s love in physical form, and empathy has been an essential tool.

I like that I can take criticism without taking things personally. When it’s given from a place of love, I appreciate it even better. I don’t have to agree with everyone and everyone doesn’t have to agree with me either.

I like that I’m open-minded. No matter how different we may seem there’s always something that unifies us.I have my own beliefs, but that doesn’t mean I can’t listen and learn from others. It doesn’t mean I can be swayed by others but I get to experience life a little more and see others just as they are.

I like my constant search for good.It keeps me grateful and connected to God.
