YOU...



I really believe that your own opinion of yourself is the only one that matters but if you were to describe yourself what would you say? Would you be kind, smart, confident, funny, giving, inspirational...? What type of person do you want to be and what do you think others would say?

Last night I saw a post on a friend’s Facebook status that I found interesting. It read, “let's see how forthcoming my Facebook friends are. Leave a 1 word comment that you think best describes me. It can only be 1 word. No more than 1 word. Then copy & paste this post on your wall, so I can leave a word about you. This should be interesting... !”


I don’t normally add these types of things as my status update but was curious this time. What I got was unexpected. I guess I expected my closest friends to comment... but they didn’t. Instead... very new friends, very old friends, clients and people in between did and I was honoured by their descriptive words: energetic, thankful, caring, peaceful, Earthmother, kind, honest and friend. Looking at each of those words I am speechless. Yes, I believe I am each of those things, but for others to see it as well....well, that is what makes me speechless. And proud. And grateful.


Give five words that YOU think would describe you... and then five words that OTHERS would describe you. And then compare the two lists. You might surprise yourself.


Blessings,
Kim

    I did this once by email a long time ago. My first serious boyfriend told me I was benevolent. I had to look up the definition and I was so flattered that he saw me this way.
    I think of you as "positive"
    So many people see the darkness in the world and I'm trying to change myself to see the light. I see you as one who sees the light.

    Benevolent... I had to look it up, too -lol. Yes, definetly and I definetly see you as positive as well! One of the most positive that I know, actually. The word I would give you, however, is articulate. I noticed that whatever the situation, you make it sound positive and professional.

    Thanks Michelle... and thanks for seeing me as one who 'sees the light'! :-)

Warning: Brainstorming May Lead To Great Ideas

Image
"Maybe it's time to get a job?" they ask.  Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it isn't.  After deciding that I wanted my own income and more independence, and after either being in school, caring for our family and sanctuary for 13 years and/or having a business that eventually closed,  I decided that I needed a change. First step was the huge decision, because it means a huge chunk of time away from my family and home. The next step was getting help to update my resume. Then, the job search. But, after 3 months of steps 2 and 3 and dozens of resumes including signing up with a local job placement company, the results were discouraging. No interviews. Nothing. Then, on a regular visit to my friend's awesome spa (Bliss day Spa in Trenton) and some great conversation with my friend, Tina, a suggestion snowballed in my head.  "What about cleaning?" At first, it was "meh, I don't know..." but then it started to feel different.

Hello friends! I have a few things in the works and am excited to tell about them!  First, I have a new photo for my Products from Mindful Kim Facebook page, this blog and it might even go in a few new places... ... like maybe a new Patreon page! I'm also thinking of either changing an old YouTube channel or starting a brand new one, for professional content only. As well as my Facebook groups, like Our Minimalist Lifestyle.  I need to get more organized and consistent.  Any tips on YouTube or Patreon would be appreciated! Either on OML, one of my FB pages or via email MindfullyCleanKim [at] @gmail.com  Thanks! 🥰🙏🏻

Guest Post! || Suicide: Warning Signs, Risk Factors, And Prevention by Melissa Howard

Image
I first received an email from Melissa Howard in January, 2018.  She wrote, "...I'm  on a mission to prevent suicide with my website, stopsuicide.info ". Mental health affects likely everyone in one way or another, so I was intrigued.  I had planned to do a few posts about mental health myself so Melissa's email seemed like perfect timing.  She is writing a book on emotional wellness and fitness and her website, stopsuicide.info, contains articles on handling suicidal thoughts and recovery from suicide attempts.  Please visit her site if you have been having these thoughts or pass this post along if you think it may help someone.  Or even share on social media.. you never know who it might reach! Thanks!
