“One day, I will become the greatest Jedi EVER. I will even learn how to stop people from dying.” – Anakin Skywalker, Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones
Special piece of wisdom that crawled into my brain while showering today:
You are the person you want to be.
If you are not the person you want to be, then you are working to change yourself into the person you want to be.
If you are not working to change yourself into the person you want to be, then you are indeed the person you want to be.
Just a few of the things I am, am becoming, and am not.
- I am a nightly retainer wearer.
- I am becoming a person who is dairy- and sugar-free (and maybe gluten-free).
- I am not a singer or music-maker.
- I am a clean house keeper, ok a kid-and-cats-live-here clean house keeper.
- I am becoming a bi-lingual English and Dutch speaker.
- I am not a fashionista (though I do love beautiful shoes).
- I am a voracious reader.
- I am becoming a regular exerciser.
- I am not a radical unschooler.
- I am a truster of my child and promoter of his wishes for his future.
- I am becoming a daily leg and underarm shaver.
- I am not a fabulous cook, instinctive decorator or natural hostess.
- I am a loving, and loved, wife.
How about you? What are you, what are you not, and what are you becoming?
Don’t forget, you’re also a witty blogger and a great online friend.;-)
OMG. This is such a great idea. I started commenting . . . but it ran so long that I think I may make a blog post out of it. I need to put some more thought into it first.
What a great concept. I’ll link to you when I follow through with it.
Yes, please, I would love to read your list!
I am Gluten Free (3 years) It’s hard at times, sometimes all I want is a regular PB&J, but I have never felt so healthy.
I am an incredible advocate for my children.
I am an incredible pain in the A$$ when it comes to ensuring the health of people I love.
I am going to turn this into a post of my own (if it’s Okay with you) It’s an awesome idea!
Firsttime here… Love it! -J
Yes, feel free. And thanks for stopping by!
I am a writer
I am someone who is coming to visit in the fall- we’ll send you possible dates later this week then buy flights.
Oh, oh, oh!!! Yeah, that’s so exciting! I can’t wait to see you again!
Hi! I posted my list! Here is the link if you’d like to see…

Enjoy! Thanks again, -J
Thanks, I did see it.
I am not even remotely patient.
I am in love with an organized home life.
I am a “routine monster”, sort of like “cookie monster”- I see something I can make into a routine and then it’s “yom, yom, yom, crunch, crunch, yom”.
I am happiest when I’m super busy.
I am grinning at your list!
And I am happy you enjoyed it!
Very nice, I think I’ll give it a shot on my blog…um…soon. I haven’t been blogging much but I am trying
Great! Please let me know when you get it written up.
Oh my gosh – this is not a list to be coming up with at midnight! I may have to give it some actual thought and write a post for it. Great list!! I especially loved the part about becoming a daily underarm and leg shaver. LOL
Just keeping it real, Firefly Mom.
