1. It is my belief that how someone looks on the outside is not necessarily a reflection of who they are on the inside. I was picked on as a child for the way I looked which made forming relationships with others difficult. I believe that how one looks is mainly superficial and it is how one acts toward self and others that is important. Along with this, I tend to believe in people as good and decent until proven otherwise.
2. I believe in spending time with family, especially with my children as they grow into adults. I also feel that spending time alone is vital to learn who you really are and to give yourself a chance to recharge. It is hard to care for someone else if you dont also care for yourself.
3. I believe in spending time outdoors, with fishing being one of my favorite activities. Fishing allows me to spend time with my family on a neutral ground and it can lead to many discussions about life in a nonthreatening way. Fishing can be about catching trophies, feeding the family, or just about spending time drowning worms.
4. I believe that being self sufficient makes me a better person, but also creates difficulty in asking for help. I think that self sufficiency breeds survivabilty. I know that myself and my kids can live through any situation this world may offer because we can take care of ourselves.
5. I believe in gardening as a way to feed body and soul. It fulfills many needs including exercise, communing with nature/ my higher power, and provides me with the opportunity to demonstrate generosity to others as I share my harvest. I feel like I must be surrounded by nature, grass, trees, animals and not concrete and steel in order for my soul to flourish.
