This is the first question on the Patient Voices Networks profile questionnaire for members... An information gathering tool they are using to create profile e-newsletter articles.
Here is a sampling of my process so far.
OMG! Where do I start? Which part of my life? What do I want others to know about me? Well, you get the idea....
I contemplated the possible answers in my head for a week or more. Nothing. So I shared the question with a group of friends hoping for my own breakthrough. I took the step of writing down my thoughts... Here they are:
- multi-faceted
- well connected
- alone
- constantly changing while feeling stuck
- constantly shifting
- sometimes well grounded, feeling strong, fulfilled, happy, satisfied, one moment - then the next moment feeling "Come Apart Awhile", discouraged, disappointed (in myself and others), emotionally fragile.
- snapshots
- feeling over sensitive
- sensitive
- interested in helping others
- resists being labelled
- sharing me & my stories / experiences with others to help them
- learning & growing / personal growth
- trying / learning new things
- balancing giving and receiving
- primary mode / sense of travel >>> kinesthetic / feelings
- information gatherer
- maturing mind
- seeking balance
- working / still playing with this journey to figure it out
- never liked being pigeon holed / labelled
- in the right place at the right time > in the flow >
IT is easier to list 'who I am not'
- not as successful as I think I could have been
SO, so far this is as far as I have gotten in forming MY answer:
This Calgarian embraces her playful_______
All the while MY list keeps growing, sprinkled with the answers that others have generated.
- "A sweet little old lady" one lady said
- "Will the real Jane Doe, please stand up." said another.
Still needing help with my answer to this question. It has been a wonderful journey of examining my life from top to bottom, from different angles, through different lens. Welcome to my world of ah ha moments.
Love and Peace
