Comments on: I HAVE GIFTS? SERIOUSLY! WHAT ARE THEY? http://pennypinchingdiva.com/2010/03/i-have-gifts-seriously-what-are-they/ Sat, 14 Apr 2012 04:42:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Shynea http://pennypinchingdiva.com/2010/03/i-have-gifts-seriously-what-are-they/#comment-9870 Shynea Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:38:32 +0000 http://pennypinchingdiva.com/?p=4939#comment-9870 Dear Adrian, I still have this phobia. Sometimes I can be so reclusive that I just make myself go out and be social. And then again, I feel like I can be just as social online depending on what I'm doing. I always second guess and doubt myself, but I have learned that rejection is a part of life and not everyone will always like me. (Which isn't a problem. lol) Take care, Shynea Dear Adrian,

I know that you are talented at something and I am going to push you just like I'm going to push Priscilla to help you find them and use them. :) Take care, Shynea Dear K.O.,

I feel you know what your gift is, your just too shy to say it. ;) I know that you love your job and that you work for a catering company. Could that be your gift? I know that you are TOO talented to say that you have no idea. Now, I'm going to bug you until you figure it out. lol Take care, Shynea Dear Priscilla,

I made a lot of personal sacrafices for my children, including staying at home for over two years to be a SAHM. Although back then I looked at is as being a chore, I'm now SO happy that I made that decision. I was there for all of my two baby boys first and I beyond active in my two oldest sons school life. I would love to see some of your interior design work. Like I said before, you are very talented. Take care, Shynea Dear Jennifer,

Doesn't it make you feel good to put your gifts to good use. Take care, Shynea Dear Shannon,

I feel as women we underappreciate ourselves. Especially when we have families, children and a relationship to worry about. Not to mention the fifty other things that we juggle on a daily basis. I never once thought about my gifts until I saw this post and I have to say that I hope that I can continue to put them to good use. Take care, Shynea Dear SOFnFREE,

My entire philosophy on this was “if I didn’t let anyone in, I couldn’t be hurt.” No matter how much I may claim that I like being “left alone” or being to myself, I really am a people person. I enjoy talking to other women who I have things in common with. I love connecting women together who otherwise would have never met.<< This is exactly the story of my life. I am constantly in conflict between my desire to connect with others and my anxiety that they will reject me. I know it's all about just changing my thinking, but that's so easy to say and so hard to do. Glad I'm not the only one who struggles with it. >>There have been so many times in my life that I have been outcasted for not fitting in or fitting “the mold” that I often retreated and found solace in being by myself.

It's funny how other people can recognize the gifts that we don't even see in ourselves. I'm like Priscilla...Still don't know what my gift is.
