Wednesday Giveaway : Superhero

What a lovely necklace.
My superpower is being strong and tuff when my kids need it the most. Even if all I want to do is cry because something is bothering them or there in pain. I always manage to be there back bone when they need it the most and they are mine.

I vowed to myself that I would never be the mom that yelled. almost 5 years ago I made this promise to myself (and son) and have only really yelled at him once. my superpower is definitely patience with my 5 year old son...

I have been given the superpower of forgiveness. I have learned by using this superpower often I set myself and others free.

My superpower? Being a great friend to my friends - helping when they need help, surprising them with little gifts if they need a pick me up, and just being there when they need me.

Oh, I have long been a fan of her bead necklace designs as well.
I have superhero good will towards all :). It comes easily, giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, and believing in the fundamental good in everyone.

I am a Mom. I am a Mom born with a heart defect who then had a baby born with a heart defect and on this eve of February the month of love both our hearts are still strong. My heart is a superhero.

Ali, this is such cool topic. Gotta check out her blog next. Soooo hard to think about our own personal attributes when we can easily see the gifts of others, isn't it? I guess my own talent would be the ability to see "positive" things in other people and even really downer situations.... I try my best to be optimistic always.

I am great at scraping together a meal at the last minute with only what's in the fridge and pantry. Some of my best meals were throw-togethers.

my superpower... I am a good student (I learn things quickly & easily). Probably part of the reason I'm considering going back for a third degree not even related to my first two.

OK, I don't mean to brag.. well maybe I do a little, but I am an awesome cook! You name it and I can cook it. I have tried my hand at many types of cuisine and my husband sings my praises every time. :)
I guess my super power is cooking. Does that count?

One of my superpowers? (trying to be optimistic here, since I have so many superpowers---it's hard to choose!! :) (said tongue firmly in cheek...)) I can look at something, then reproduce / interpret it on canvas, & paper with pastel, watercolor, acrylics, or oil paint. With those same eyes, I can make my husband squirm, & my daughters laugh!

a superpower huh? well I just shoveled snow, but everyone has to do that if you live in an area that snows. Hmmm
I enjoy being silly with my kids. Make them laugh. Their laughter makes me forget all the crap this wrong with the world at that moment.

Well, I'm not sure if it's a superpower, but sometimes I feel like it is... hehe. I drive 38 miles to my kids' school (which is in a different town) each day to pick one of them up for hockey, drive another 25 miles to the hockey rink (in yet another town), then drive the 35 miles back home. We do this pretty much every day. I completely and totally love watching my kids participate in team activities, so I do what I can to make sure they get to their sports. Round trip drive= almost 100 miles, but it's so worth it! It's totally not a talent, but I do love it and feel like I'm making a difference in my kids' lives by helping them explore the many different opportunities that are available in life.

Does spending money count? Because I am really really good at that! :) My husband, family, friends, strangers rave about my baked goods. I like to think that baking is my superpower! I can change someone's day just by doing something I enjoy. That's pretty powerful in my book.
Thanks!
Monica

Hi Ali...thanks for the ever-inspiring blog!
I am great at keeping a level head during the tumult of running a household but most esp. during the midst of a challenge. My baby girl had open heart surgery two weeks after birth (she just came home on Sunday!) and I really think it was my ability to keep everything and everyone (esp. my husband) organized and calm that aided us through that time!
Thanks for the chance...

I do have a super power: I can strangely grow muscles overnight. I see results from lifting weights instantly. I have super strength.

I'm so incredibly proud of my 30-year-old son and all of his accomplishments, I think I must be a pretty good mom. :)

I love love love Andrea's necklaces. I own one and it is my favorite piece of jewelry; if I win, the new necklace is being passed along to a dear friend.
My superpower is listening and remembering. I've been told I have a great ability to weed out verbal chatter and find the heart of what people around me are saying. I don't always see that in myself, of course, but enough people in my life have commented on it that I'll embrace it as true.

Hmmm.....superpower? Well, I do think the fact that I've been making milk for over a year this time is a superpower. Ooohh...another one....keeping our preschool Board meetings on track (it's a group of super-smart, overly-educated stay-at-home-parents who think too much and have too few opportunities to socialize!). I keep them on task. :)

This is a tough one. Thank you for this enlightening thought. My superpowers are smiling at people (I love the smile I get back) and being a trustworthy confidante.
