So over the last few months those who have been reading have watched me reflect on the aspects of self that encompass being a mother, wife and woman. For years, the predominate aspects were mother and wife. Over the last several months, the woman aspect has been rediscovered. Now in looking at myself, I see that I need to examine further who that woman is. We all have different aspects of self, that make up who we are. Some parts are more dominant than others. This year I am integrating myself with all my aspects of self, to become a more holistic me. The part of me that enjoys athletics and spending time outdoors. The part of me that has rediscovered my love of writing poetry. The part of me that enjoys intelligent discussion on the meaning of life. The Lisa who enjoys just kicking back with a beer and doing nothing. These parts have been slumbering inside of me for a long time and I feel their reawakening and it engenders a wholeness for me that wasn’t as evident before. So I’m encompassing all those parts with those that are already embodied within me. Not that I was a lifeless twit before either;) But that I feel more fulfilled with my personal growth, and happier.

So on another psychology bend. From Psychology today magazine, a couple of quizes;
What’s your arguing style?

I have a friend that tells me I like pop psychology like Lucy from Peanuts. I won’t deny that I do have a proclivity for it but mostly I just like trying to understand people. I find people fascinating subjects, wondering what makes them tick. And I like trying to figure out what makes me tick:)
