Wednesday Giveaway : Superhero

I am a great listener! I haven't always been, but I've worked on it and now I'm great!

In my family they like to call me "Just-Ask-Julia": I find a way out of most problems. Is it awesome? I don't know - I think it's normal to help people. What I'm quite good at is playing the flute: My family encourages me and the music gives us so much joy and happiness.

my superpower is my faith!!! :)

I have superhero patience. I am grateful that something in me is able to step back and let my toddler and preschooler have the room and space to make mistakes (and messes and noise) and not let it phase me. I never knew how patient I was until I became a Mommy.

my super hero power is compassion. sometimes i have way too much. i rescue every stray animal that comes my way...

I teach. I teach 165 high school students that are all different like every snowflake that falls from the sky. But I do more than just teach, I listen and I learn and I care. And I do this all at once. Am I the best? Probably not. Am I a great teacher? I would say yes. I'm not great because of the content that I teach but because the students know that I will put in the time with them while they are striving to be excellent, I will not let them make excuses, I will only accept the best from them. My superpower is that I wake up every day trying to make today better than yesterday for me, my students and my community.

Hmmm...I think my superpower is listening. Just sitting quietly and allowing another person to tell me whatever they need to say at that moment. It might be my kid telling me about his day; a friends telling me how angry she is with her ex; or my employee telling me that she just found out her husband lost his job. No distractions. No multi-tasking. No trying to solve the problem. Just listening. :)

my superpower - at work I'm known as the girl with the perfect handwriting. I've been handlettering the chalkboards for close to 5 years now and I still love it!

I have an awesome superpower! I am a Super Researcher! Need to find out how (and why) the bathroom faucet is dripping? I'm your girl. Need to figure out how to fix it? No problem! I'm also good at researching really hard topics, like whether financial aid policies preferring American Indians violates the 14th Amendment. (they don't... American Indians are not classified as a racial group for constitutional purposes; rather, they are a political group with a special relationship to Congress) :)

I love her jewelry! My superpower is the ability to wake up 12 times a night without a sign of grouchiness...does that work?? :)

I am the fixer of all things: broken toys, billing problems, meals, schedules, health problems, and on and on and on... I accept this challenge as it keeps life moving smothely.

I am a superhero today because we have survived 4 years since my son's type 1 diabetes diagnosis...we left the hospital in shock and scared and since then I have grown to be an expert and advocate to keep him in the best healthy shape and happy! I am proud to be my son's superhero!

My superpower is having the ability to give direction to anyone in the house who is in search of "something". It's not easy knowing where everything is at any given moment for six people and three dogs... but somehow I do it :) Well.... most of the time anyhow.

I like to think I am pretty good at being a Momma to 5 yo triplets (one of whom is autistic) and a 10 yo son who is autistic. I wouldn't change my life for anything.

At the moment my biggest talent is making milk to nurse my son. :) Other than that, I'm good at saving money.

Cool! My superpower...balancing life and doing a pretty darn good job of it!

My personal superpower is warmth - to my children and husband especially, to people I know already and to people I meet. I am genuinely friendly and smile at people a lot (even when it is sadly not returned to me). I just have a zest for life that, I hope, emanates from me.

Wow! What a beautiful necklace! and a cool way to have found and met a new friend! Hmm.. superhero powers? I see myself as pretty ordinary.. but I do manage to be an Army spouse, raise 4 children and work in the meantime.. The ladies I work with think that is amazing.. LOL! I think it is just life!

Optimism - I am pretty good at seeing the positive side of things. Even during the rough times, I can almost always see the light.

I am a superhero at presenting literacy to grade 2 students! I love reading and writing and developing vocabulary and it is my delight every day to pass that love on to my students.

Her jewelry looks as vibrant and colorful as she does! My superpower is about the mall things :), i guess i'm able to really feel thankful for my blessings, also the very small ones. For the blessings that are in my life right now, but also for the blessings that i trust will be on my path. And i really celebrate them too. Yes even by throwing mega-big-confetti into the air, together with DH or friends. It helps. It's powerful and it's a whole lot of fun too (until the vacuumcleaner has to come in the next day LOL)

My superpowers- I feel like Elasti-girl from the Incredibles. My flexiblity has come in handy more often than not. I am not swayed by a situation looking not possible, but rather find a way to stretch around it. My son says that I often "save the day" and am "so cool." that makes me FEEL like a superhero!

My superpower would be patience. I work with students who have big difficulties, and I patiently help them discover their own inner power.

I adore handcrafted jewelry!
When my husband was introducing me at a workshop once, he told everyone that my very best quality was that in all the years he had known me (since grade 9!), he had never heard me say anything negative about another person. It's always been my nature to think positively and speak kindly, but I hadn't really thought about it until he announced it to everyone that day. What a sweetie he is!

those necklaces are so great. . . I love them! I would say I'm a pretty good multi-tasker, if that can be considered a superpower!
