One of my strengths is Connectedness: People who are especially talented in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links between all things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.

This describes me to a T. I often fail at describing why I feel that all things are connected or how, but I do have faith that we’re all connected and that all aspects of life are interwoven. I can’t help clients fix their financial woes without first helping them examine what else is holding them back whether it’s career dissatisfaction, relationship woes or weight problems. They’re all tied together, which drives the development of my business philosophies and how I serve my clients.

Looking forward to following your work!

I loved that you wrote about yoga and your struggles to achieve a headstand. I could picture your gym teacher, Bob, and Steve the Marine. And I could picture you picturing yourself doing that headstand. That, I believe, is the sign of a good writer: the ability to recreate your experience in your reader’s mind.

I’m so glad you achieved your headstand, Catherine, and that you can now turn yourself upside down whenever the mood strikes you. And I’m also so very glad you wrote about what you did to achieve your goal.

Now some of my strengths I can tolerate (harmony … have you heard me sing oh not that type of harmony, think serene essence). Some strengths I try to say that is not me at all (deliberative … I do not think I am that careful and cautious, I do take risks … but why does it take me so long to make a decision). Then there are strengths I wonder where did that come from (achiever … how is one an achiever and deliberative then that little voice inside says so what have you accomplished today, this week, month, year). Those strengths I will accept (restorative that at least sounds like I am fixing, solving problems for some benefit). One other strength for me and I ask; Is not everyone a learner?

It is interesting we know ourselves better than anyone else does (friends, family, colleagues …). Yet knowing these are my strengths, still makes me wonder, could I trade one or two … humm I guess it’s okay to just be me.
