Celebrating Womanhood: My 3 Best Traits

Hosted by Living, Learning, and Loving Life, Cabin Goddess, Tea with Dee, Living This Moment, and Teachable Scotts Tots Homeschool.

Today is the day! For one day, we want to drown out negativity and celebrate the beauty and pride of women.

I was asked to share 3 things about myself that are grand without any qualifiers of modesty or put downs in the name of humility. So, here goes:

1. I have always loved the fact that I have blue eyes. People have commented on my eyes all of my life. Once, when I was younger and single, I remember going through a drive-thru at a Naugles restaurant. It was a stop I would treat myself to occasionally since I worked nights, and there wasn't much open when I got off work. Naugles was open. One night, I placed my order and drove up to the window where a male worker opened up the window to take my money. Instead, he stared at me and actually stepped back a bit as he remarked how beautiful my eyes were.  Another part of my eyes is that I passed them onto all three of my children. That's right! Even though, my husband has hazel eyes (a dominant color), God saw fit to allow my children to get my blue eyes. I often look into their eyes and feel as if I am looking in a mirror. I love my blue eyes.

2.     I am not afraid to fail. It's a unique trait, I know. But, I possess it. I will try new things, new ventures, and figure that if I fail, it simply means that I need to adjust how I do it in the future. In addition to this, I have always loved that I am organized. I love when things are order. A lack of chaos, replaced by order, creates peace. I like peace.

3.     I love my sense of humor. I have a very selective sense of humor that borders on sarcasm, dry humor, and even a bit of intellectual humor. I love to laugh, and my husband has often told me that he loves to hear me laugh. Laughter is medicine to the heart, so it makes it even more joyous to know that laughter is healthy. I love laughing.

Now it's your turn.  What's so wonderful about you? Blog about three characteristics and be sure to link up so we can celebrate womanhood together.

Celebrating Womanhood Exciting Announcement Coming

For one day, we want to drown out negativity and celebrate the beauty and pride of women.

These days it seems that some people want us to be ashamed of being women. They want us to believe that we’re less: less intelligent, less important, less human. There is so much negativity out there. For one day, we want to flood the internet with positive messages about women.

For the past two years, we've let you get away with shining the spotlight on another woman. This year, it's all about YOU. As women, we often have trouble putting ourselves front and center. We're not important, not pretty, not smart, not talented. Just not enough. But that is SO not true, and we challenge you to break through that barrier. Join the #selflovechallenge on September 16, and share three positive things about yourself. If you don't have a blog, share on Facebook, Twitter, a favorite email loop (as long as they don't mind off-topic messages), or just write it on a Post-it note and put it on your bathroom mirror. Men can participate, too, but we really want women to embrace this. You are amazing, and it's time you owned it! Your three things can be just one comment each, or you can give background or elaborate in some way. The positive things can be anything: a physical trait, a talent, a facet of your personality, or anything else you can think of. The only rule is that you can't add any qualifiers. YES = I have beautiful eyes. YES = I get a lot of compliments on my eyes. NO = I have pretty eyes. At least that's what people tell me. NO = I guess I have pretty eyes, but no one can tell because of these stupid glasses. Just acknowledge and accept that you have gorgeous eyes and move on. ;-) We're not looking for afirmations here. Find three things you can love about yourself just as you are. Sure we can all improve something, but you are amazing RIGHT NOW! If you honestly can't think of anything, ask your friends and family. You should love yourself unconditionally, but sometimes we need a little help realizing that there is something about us to love. Join our Facebook page, and help us spread the word. We’ll have a linky up on the 16th for you to share your posts.
