Entry #4

My vital friends map consists of seven friends.
Nicole is a builder, champion, companion, energizer, mind opener, and navigator she is always there when I need to talk or have a problem she is usually the first one I call when I have a problem or need help figuring something out. If there is a problem or I need to make a decision she is the one that I can turn to to help me figure out the right answer. When I need a pick me up she is always there to cheer me up. She is one of the first people I went to when I was deciding to get married.

Isabel is a builder, champion, and mind opener, she helped me tremendously in planning my wedding and she was one of the first and few friends I made when I started my current job. She gives me her opinion and she helps me see things through different perspectives.

Wendy is a champion, Collaborator, companion, energizer, she is just like me and thinks the way I do about almost everything and if there is something we don't agree on she's not afraid to tell me and vice versa. She can lift my spirits and help me through a difficult time.

Donna is a collaborator, companion, and a energizer she is always there when I need to talk and she can make me laugh even when i'm having a bad day. She has been my friend through a lot of ups and downs. She and her family have always welcomed me into their home and made me feel welcome.

Ryan is a collaborator, mind opener, and navigator he always tells me when he doesn't agree with something I'm doing or thinks that I should be doing something else. He always has an opinion and speaks his mind. He helps me to see things from others point of view.

Michelle is a companion, energizer, and navigator she has been my friend the longest and we have had a lot of ups and downs. We have been friends for over 20 years and she has always been there to listen, she does not judge me on anything.


All of my friends play a special role in my life and I hope that I do the same for them as they do for me.

My strengths are deliberative, responsibility, restorative, empathy and belief.  I think that they strengths that I have the most difficulty with are command I would rather sit back and try to solve a problem rather than take command and help decide what happens I think that this conflicts with my strength of deliberative.
Another strength that I have difficulty with is positivity I do not always see the positive and I am not very upbeat and excited. I tend to stay to myself or my friends that are around me. I have a hard time talking to people that I am not familiar with. This is also true with Woo I have a very hard time breaking the ice and connecting with others. I can be very serious this conflicts greatly with Woo. I think that at some part of me has all strengths i do agree that these are my five top because this is how I see myself others could have a completely different view of me. I hope that even if my strengths conflict with other strengths that I can learn to embrace all strengths to some extent.
