I’m signed up for Reverb10, which means that for the whole month of December I’ll be receiving a daily email prompting me to Reflect on the past year and Manifest the year to come. Today’s prompt comes from Karen Walrond:
Beautifully different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different – you’ll find they’re what make you beautiful.
Image – my vein-y hands & feet
I am beautifully different because I love to laugh and dance and sing. I take my relationships and my wine seriously, everything else will probably work itself out in the end.
I am beautifully different because of my slender (and slightly vein-y) feet. My feet are strong and have taken me on miles long journeys around the city, along the coast and through mountainous paths.
I am beautifully different because I put people at ease. I am personable and friendly. I can relate to just about anyone and I love to hear about others’ stories and what makes them who they are.
I am beautifully different because I’m observant and quick. I rarely forget details but I might forget your name.
I am beautifully different because I’m a listener. Not someone who says they’re a good listener but then interrupts you when you start talking, but a real listener. One who can listen between the lines.
I am beautifully different because I am creative and innovative. I think of millions of ideas a day and try to capture most in my handy dandy notebook.
I am beautifully different because I have limitless energy. I can go-go-go. I’m also rarely frazzled or stressed. There is nothing you can throw at me that I cannot handle.
I am beautifully different because I’m a connector. I thrive on connecting people with the people or things they need the most.
I am beautifully different because I can easily pinpoint what makes others beautifully different. I can pull that incredible talent out of you and make you aware to all of the special gifts you have.
What makes you beautifully different? I’d love to hear about it!
