Whether you’re a kid or wish you still were. When you were younger, what did you love most?
When you are daydreaming or letting yourself travel to “Imagine Land”, what ideas keep re-appearing?
What were some of the wonderful experiences or even the mischievious ones?
What were your struggles, those things that you wished were different or better, (subjects in school, people, situations). What were the things you wished you’d gotten to do or places you’d wanted to visit?
Take a few minutes and revisit some of the positive paths, the encouraging moments (past or present).
What were your favorite topics to study?
What were your favorite books, your favorite stories?
Who did you look up to?
Who were your role models?
What about your closest friends?
Who did you admire?
Wherever you are: a kid, a parent with kids at home (young or older), an empty nester, a grandparent, single and planning on having your own family some day.
YOU’RE STILL A KID!
YES YOU ARE!…. You Are A GOD INSPIRED WITTY INVENTION…GIWI®
And there is always time to strengthen your current course or redirect it, if you’ve stumbled or fumbled and want to change direction and focus. Who Are You and What Do You Love? And What Are You Waiting For?
At this point perhaps you are asking,
“Who is this person and what are they talking about GIWI® ?
Are they going to answer some of these same questions?”
Glad you brought that up.
I’ve always had a hunger for learning. I’m a regular bookaholic. Not the romance sort of reading, although I’ve enjoyed a few on occasion. Romantic comedies, love stories, I’ve shed many a tear over the years. More often than not however it’s health, nutrition, faith, finances, family, biography and history trails that I stroll along.
If someone were to ask you, as I just did,
Who Are You? What Do You Love To Do? What Challenges You?
I think that is a good ‘self-check’ list to consider a number of times throughout your life.
WHO AM I?
I’m a Mom — I’m a Widow — I’m a Daughter of my Creator God — I’m an Author
I have a hunger for truth and wisdom — I’ve been a Math Teacher & had a career in Sales and Marketing — And I love dogs. In the race of life I’m not the Hare, but I’m not the Turtle. I’m somewhere in between moving ahead and allowing the Lord to fashion my steps.
WHAT DO I LOVE TO DO?
Read — Cook — Bake — Sing — Dance — Listen to Music — Spend time with my daughter — Have Deep Conversations — Encourage others of their Value and to go for their Dreams — Share The Truth About Our Amazing God — Exercise? getting better on this one — Never stop growing and learning, seeking more depth of understanding — Hopefully making a difference on the positive end of the scales.
CHALLENGES
Staying Focused (but I just take it a bite at a time and it keeps moving things forward)
Not Grasping All the Technology (does anyone?)
Negative People (ahhh, gotta love them anyway)
How do you put this or how do you put you all together in your own ‘rhythm of life’.
We’re truly each a unique creation from God and these are characters He has put in my heart to share. We want a safe place and want to know who really is influencing our kids. Maybe who is also influencing ourselves. So, that’s what I’m doing and sharing with you through four or more characters known as GIWI®’s.
MARGIE is a very inquisitive young girl.
MEASURE is an curious inch worm.
TRUMPETER is an expressive elephant.
BEAR FRUIT is a thoughtful bear (of course).
There are other friends who I’m sure will be added along the way, but this is where we’ll begin. These characters are curious about so many things in life.
My prayer is that their journey’s will spark, highlight, ignite ideas in you, wherever that may be. I invite you and we invite you to come along!
