“Here are the two best prayers I know: ‘Help me, help me, help me’ and ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you.'”
–Anne Lamott
A writer, editor, actor, mom and social catalyst, I am essentially a communicator. In DISC profile terms, I am a “high I,” relating to social situations and communication. People with high “I” scores influence others through talking and activity and tend to be emotional. They are described as convincing, magnetic, political, enthusiastic, persuasive, warm, demonstrative, trusting, and optimistic. In Myers-Briggs terms, I am a solid ENFP. As an ENFP (extroverted, intuitive, feeling, perceiving), my primary mode of living is focused externally, where I take things in primarily via your intuition. My secondary mode is internal, where I deal with things according to how I feel about them, or how they fit in with my personal value system.
They say ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. So, even with all of this self-awareness, I still have so much to learn.
I thrive on the creative process, finding connections and igniting possibilities. I relish any opportunity involving creation, the arts, music, theater, laughter, service, dining, joy, serendipity, synchronicity and spirituality. Lately, my world has been defined by a larger proportion of bittersweet blessings. Thus, I am moved to branch off from the “mother blog”Ā on social media musings and take on more personal issues.

And you have listed all the reasons I love you as a person and follow your musings on your blogs. It is through knowing you and talking with you (both in real life and in virtual salons) that my life becomes enriched. So thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oh, Linda, I soooooo needed to hear this today. Tears welling. You are my angel, indeed. No doubt about it. And feeling is mutual. Thank you.
