Not sure how to answer that one. Todays blog post is not easy for me to write – actually I have been trying to write it all morning….and I still have not got a glue how to answer The Question Is What Are You Good At?
Asking What Are You Good At
Is something that I would never thought about. But is a great idea that came from Laney at Crash Test Mummy for the theme of “March To Your Own Beat”. I really liked the idea of #marchownbeat as we sure do that with our lifestyle (living outside of the square and all that!)
So here goes :: What Am I Good At!
If I Was An Animal I’d Be A….
A Bird. That can fly really fast. Free. Flying to where ever I wanted when ever I wanted. Not sure what type of Bird, but I do know that I love the idea of being able to move on from location to location whenever I wanted.
Or maybe a Dolphin. I love the Beach, I love the feel of the salt water on my skin. It’s the best way to stay healthy, and have the clearest skin. I really love how a Dolphin moves so beautifully through the water, and also has such great connections with their babies.
Be A Bird ~
Yeah I know this is a Duck but I couldn’t find a picture of a Bird!
If I Could Have Any Role I Would Be…….
A Full Time Real Estate Investor. I love Houses – which sounds weird as I never want to live in a House ever again. But I do love looking at houses, and working out how to improve their value, as well as working out where the next big boom in Real Estate is going to be. If I could be a Full Time Real Estate Investor I would invest in every state of Australia so that I can travel and claim my expenses for my business!
My Hidden Talent Is……..
I am not sure how to answer this one as I don’t think I have any hidden talent? Could I say that I can read a book in one day…is that a hidden Talent? Or that I can see things around me, and they come true? I have seen places where I have wanted to visit, stay at or live at and we end up exactly doing that! I also can sense when something is about to happen – from winning gifts to a phone calling – to even feeling like something good is about to come our way.
My Imagination Runs Wild!
The Most Creative Thing I Have Ever Done Is…..
Oh Double Damn…not sure how to answer this one…I am not creative. I guess you could say I like to Create our Bus into a Home ~ with a colour scheme that flows from the front door to the bed at the back. I also think that my boys are the most creative thing I have ever done! They are so smart, so funny, so cheeky, so silly and so full of beans!
Create Our Bus into A Home.
People Come To Me When They Need Help With…….
Their life. They come to me, and I listen. So many people like to talk about their situation and debrief from it….I try to be a good listener and I try to agree with them so that they feel more at peace. Some people say that I have a calm nature (sometimes that is true..other times no way!) and that I have an inner calm that helps them feel at peace. At least I so hope that is what happens.
People also come to me when they need help with wanting to see the best side of things – I like to look for the positive in every situation!
Love having a coffe/chat/cake with friends!
The Sorts Of Problems I Like To Solve Are…….
Life. I like to look at our life, and our family and see how I can change it for the better. I like to create memories for our family, ones that they will love for ever. I also like to think that any problem is really not that bad once it’s talked about, so I guess you could say that I love to solve other people’s life. More again about how I like to listen to another person – and connect with what they are going through.
Someone Else Thinks I am Good At…..
No idea. So I thought it best to ask four of our five boys 🙂 Not sure if I am game enough to know what their answers are but here goes…
Our Second Son:- Blogging and Writing
Third Son:- Being a Mum! (Actually at first he told me that I was good at fishing…which is so not true because I don’t fish!) Teenagers hormones kicking in big time.
Fourth Son:- Doing the Dishes. Making up Games – like setting up the game hopscotch and tickle games
Fifth Son:- Reading Books. Driving the Car. Blogging. Tickle Games.
Ummm – yeah not sure if I should have asked them. After I got their answers I mentioned what about giving them hugs and kisses and telling them I love them. They all rolled their eyes and said “Yeah but that is something that you just do, because you are our Mum”!!!
The Question Is What Are You Good At. The Answers were so not easy! Thanks Laney for the great idea.
Do You Think You Could Answer What Are YOU Good At?

You sound like you’re pretty tuned into things Lisa – the world around you, people, especially your family. Being able to listen is a admirable talent and seeing the positive in things is something we all need to do more of. I’ve enjoyed your post tonight Lisa. Thanks for joining in 🙂

Oh Lisa I love all your answers! I nearly said Dolphin too as the animal I would be!
And I love how you have decorated your van – it is definitely a creative success!

Its funny how we have trouble answering that question. We as mums are good at so many things and yet we don’t give ourselves the recognition. You had some great answers and I love your duck ummm bird.

I can’t believe you live on a bus – now that IS creative! in its own right. And even more impressed at all of your hidden talents, definitely talents there – mine was a little less impressive. But maybe the rest of mine are hidden…right? 🙂

Hi Pip,
It was a really hard question to answer. I can answer just about anything, and write about anything, but to look within is so not easy! I believe that we all have talents, its a matter of seeing them…that is why I got my boys to help me as I dont feel like I have any special talent at all 🙂
Cheers
