About midyear last year while in a meeting, someone asked me to use two words to define myself. In those two words, they wanted to know who I was and what I did and I couldn’t use traditional definitions like wife, mom, daughter etc.
The two words that I came up with were:
A).Writer
B). Brilliant*ologist.

The writer, while could be debated by others, is a title I wear. One that I feel like I was created to be. It is the thing I have always done and is as much a part of who I am then aspect of who I am. Sure I get caught up in the punctuations and spelling, but it is the storyteller aspect that I am talking about, the connector part of me that feels compelled to use to words to paint the pictures.
Then there is the Brilliant *ologist. That part of me that loves to see the brilliants in others. People fascinate me. Their talent and gifts always blow me away. Of course, I feel that words capture the dimension of who they are in a way that film and paint simply cannot. I have noticed however that the use of the word “Brilliant” and Brilliance” can disturb some. Either they can’t wear the word afraid that others will think they are egotistical or they are stunned that I would have the nerve to use it. It makes me wonder why that is? Why are we “Okay” with lesser words that describe our gifts? Hmmm.

I stopped defining myself with other people’s terms and definitions of who I was, and began to claim what I KNEW I WAS.
So, I am curious who are YOU? Maybe it is the YOU that no one has been allowed to see before, or maybe you are already established in the self-approved label either way, I am curious...
WHO ARE YOU? I double dog dare you to join me 2010 in claiming the real you. Like the old game show use to say... WILL THE REAL RENE’ PLEASE STAND UP.

I’m Rene and I am a writer and a brilliant * ologist.

Wow,
YOU ladies are amazing. I am so glad that you have taken this little assignment to heart. Labels aren’t important, especially those that others want to put onto us. But, I do believe that knowing who we are is HUGE. I have found that I save so much time and resources by wearing who I am like they are comfy slippers.

Susan, thank you so much for the word encourager. Years ago I took a spiritual gifts test and it said I had the gift of exhortation, which in Hebrew is encourager.... so I think that is so great. It went on to say that an exhorter is someone who walks along side others and aids them in their journey... what could be better right? It is one the qualities of the brilliantologist label I have given to myself... Because sometimes I see the brilliance in others before they are willing to see it in themselves and I get to walk along side them until they have clearer vision.

I guess the first word that comes to mind is "artist". Not just that I like to create things, but I practice artistry in the way I fix my food, my spiritual seeking--it's like life is the canvas and we are the artists who create the masterpiece. Sometimes my artwork doesn't appeal to some people, but that's true of any artist.
The second word is--this may sound strange--"Indian". No, I'm not a true Native American, but I feel very close to the Indians in spirit. I believe there is one great Holy Spirit who oversees us all, and if our paths are different, it's because the Spirit leads people in the way that works best for them. Some people turn their backs on the Spirit and I pray for them, because they're not being true to themselves.
I think we are all complex people and sometimes we need "infra-red" vision to see the full range of the colors that make up our spirits.

Rene', thanks again for starting this thread. I come back again and again. I'd like to suggest a third label for you, that of being an encourager. Your responses to others' labels are so enthusiastic and show your acceptance and caring.

I loved reading all the words that have been chosen to descripe themselves. I really had to set and ponder the idea. But I came up with creative, and giver. To create I'm able to bring who I really am out to share with other. Creating something is always somewhere in my mind until I just have to stop what I'm doing or think needs to be done and get in my craft room and start in. I may be pulling out all my supplies that I know I'm going to need. Or, to just go in and jot down what my ideas are so I can start the planning. But everything I create is done with love and usually someone special will come to mind and that makes it even more so, fun to work on. Which gets me to the giver. I love to see the looks they get when they receive something from my heart. It's kind of like the saying, Reach out and touch someone! Well that is a two way road. Not only have I given them joy, but also given it to myself. By reaching out! And I also agree that my abilities to create was a gift and blessing from God. So keep creating and sharing with all of us. It is a gift you have been given. Believing in your self today, brings a beautiful tomorrow!

Hi, I'm Lisa. This exercise was also profound to me and has remained on my mind since I first read all the wonderful posts. It humbles me to think of the gifts and talent that God gives each us, and how beautiful the world is as we experience one another.

Though I certainly can identify qualities about myself, I am often critical of myself, so my thoughts gravitated to what others often say about me.

The first word would be 'joyful'. I have been told that when I am missing from a familiar environment, that my laughter ringing through the halls is absent, and noticed. My faith is everything to me and there is a Scripture verse that says proclaims, "The joy of the Lord is my strength". I am thankful and blessed to acknowledge that I awaken with a song of praise in my heart every single day, even when I have tough times, or trials that seem too big to bear. This is God's Joy, exhibited through me. I thank Him for it because it does indeed give me strength!

My second word would be 'peaceful'. I have administered several assisted living communities over the last several years. Over and over again, I've had residents and families share that I bring peace to an environment. A particular former resident came to mean a great deal to me, though his own family would have nothing to do with him. I was no longer involved with his residence when he reached the place point where death was imminent and he would be forced to leave the community. I invited him into my own home to live for the remainder of his life with the involvement of hospice to assist with his personal care and, when the time came, his death. I loved this gentleman; he had taught me so much through his wisdom and sometimes brutal honesty.

When hospice became necessary as his life ebbed away, the two most involved nurses (those who remained around the clock with us) took me aside after my friend's death. They told me that a peace existed in my house and in me, that they tangibly felt upon entering, and that it remained even after my friend passed from this life as I held his hand. This touched me, again, because in the midst of a very painful situation, one I still recall with intense grief, God's Peace was present and noticeable. God's Word says that when our trust is in Him, He provides a peace "that passes all understanding."

So, I will describe myself as being joyful and peaceful, no matter the circumstance, and I give my God all the credit, as the source of both of these qualities.

Thank you, Rene, for such a meaningful and thought-provoking exercise!



Thou wilt keep them in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee. Isaiah 26:3

This is awesome! So often we believe what others tell us we are - good and bad. It's nice to know we can relax and let ourselves be defined by the one person that knows us better than any other human... ourselves. I'm not sure that this is one word but the first word would be Planet Loving Tree Hugger and the second? well that would have to be Old-Fashioned. Not the stuffy kind of way that people immediately think of - by the Mayberry RFD kind of way! Does that make sense or is that just in my head!! :-)

Okayz....underneath the shyness and the semi-hermit-ish part of me, the true self is ...Creator and care-giver

I'm a creator. I love knowledge, I love to create, even if I only dream of the project, I love to write and cook, I love to grow things and build things. I especially enjoy language and writing and may, at my advanced age =), go into endangered linguistic!

Care-giver...I love to help and comfort people, I love to bring a smile to a face and help others with problems if I have a possible answer. I am wishing that I could go to Haiti and help the people there. I am always wanting to go some place to comfort and bring some semblance of calm and peace to some one...I enjoy taking care of the hearts and souls of others.

Hey!

I can easily pick the first one:
I am a SPONGE: I loved to absorb knowledge, lessons, love and culture. Reading, learning, listening, doing...whether it be meeting someone on a plane during a trip to MJ's Farm fair, or watching Contrary Wife whip up a whole meal from scratch and then doing it myself, I love to learn. I'm not afraid to try anything once.

This one was a little harder for me to come up with but I think it fits:
Adventurer: Goes along with #1, but with more courage and dare. I'm not afraid to stop on the side of the road and walk into an abandoned house just to 'feel' what it has to tell me. I will hop on a plane and whisk myself off to the other side of the US to stay a week with someone I've never met. I will jump in my car and take off for NY, WV or other various locations and be anonymous, as long as I can be home by 8pm! I'm very gutsy. So there are my two.

I really took this post serious. I have been think since the first day it posted. How can I sum up me in two words??? In posting on another link it came to me.
"integrity-ologist" - I believe that your integrity defines you. Honesty and adherence to strong morals and ethical principles makes you a whole person. I am the type that will point out when the cashier gives me 10 cents too much change. I am a nurse, farmer, mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and business woman. I can be any of these and not have strong morals and integrity (it happens everyday). But I can't be me without integrity. As I said in the other other link, I like the fact that others trust me. I like the fact that others do not feel comfortable doing things that would be consider immoral while I am around. I like the fact that when I close my eyes at night I sleep very soundly.
So far, I have only come up with one word that sums me. I am still looking for a word that brings together; blessed, creative, artistic, fun loving, gardener and many other activities that makes up the whole of me.

Begin each morning with a song in your heart.

WOW, what a great thing to read first thing this morning. I love the thought that others are making it a habit to "SEE" others thru the lenses of love. Thank you for that.

Hostess... How fun. I have a lady at my church who has an amazing servants heart. I learn a lot from just watching her..... what a very special gift. Thanks for sharing your words... I really think that this excersise has been a great one. As it allows us to see each other in a fun and different way.

Hi all, I am Cynthia
I sat reading all the things you think of yourselves and it made me smile, cry and want to grow up to be just like you!

Two words to describe me:

I have to say I am a practiced "Seer", I say practiced because I have spent most of my life praying and practicing seeing other through the eyes of my Creator. I do now and have for a long time. Seeing others with love, compassion, looking on inside not just the outside. It's not always easy but Oh can you find wonderful things in people if you look deeper.

Hostess, would be second word. I love to entertain, to have people surround me and enjoy my home and my cooking. Some good times!!!

Simply Thankful,
Cynthia

I read this thread on the first day... been thinking since then!
This is harder than it looks. Just two words? I am having great difficulty in picking "just" two.

Ah! I got one!!!! One that perfectly describes me is optimistic!

definition:(expecting the best in this best of all possible worlds; "in an optimistic mood"; "optimistic plans"; "took an optimistic view")

I have been accused of looking at our world through rose-colored glasses! Well, I do wear glasses but do not have rose-colored lenses. I find this to be comforting that is how people see me, all cheerful, happy go-lucky type of a gal. I ooze happiness and anyone around me get affected by it. I like that about me! I learned that things aren't all that bad, that God will only give me what I can handle.

Okay, next word that also strongly describe me is Empathy.

definition: (the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to,and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectivelyexplicit manner)

This is tough for me at times.

I would not change nor desire to do anything different than just be me, who I AM meant to be, the happy go-lucky Karrieann as my hubby says.

I would have to say creator/learner.

I have always created something from whatever was at hand. I am a hunter/gatherer at heart. I love to find things and create something beautiful and useful.

I like learning new things. I wished I had felt the same in school, I guess it's the whole older and wiser thing. I have really been a learner this past year with the passing of my husband. It is amazing to me how much I learned from him when I wasn't even always paying attention.

So, now I am combining the 2 to find my place in the world to bring in an income, selling things online and looking into the possibility of owning my own business. Creating and learning are essential in this process. It is both scary and exciting.

For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

So I've been thinking about this since last night. I woke up a couple of times during the night and it was in my mind.

I am joyful and loving.

Joyful keeps coming up in my life and has since I was small. There are small and large joys around me all the time every day - a butterfly wafting by, reading about someone's new learning or success on this forum or my Facebook, talking to a friend, being a shoulder, completing a sewing project, a sunset over the Rocky Mountains or Galveston Bay, just the joy that I feel about the growth I've made myself in the last couple of years, talking to my wonderful son, riding horses with my sister - there are so many things big and small.

Loving - I think this is so important. Loving myself, loving no matter what - knowing that all are imperfect and growing, loving in spite of pain. It fills my heart and as long as I can stay in that place I feel complete.

Thanks for providing a space for all of us to share with each other.

Kelly,
A compassionate Independant, how awesome is that? thank you for sharing. There is a freedom when we know that we can handel anything that comes. I heard a teacher say once.. "fear inst the reaction of the deed itself, but rather the minds reaction to whether we think we can handle what comes next". I have always loved that.

What a great post. I read through it this morning and thought all day about what "my" two words would be....

Independent - I take pride in knowing that I can learn to do anything I put my mind to. There's something satisfying about knowing how to grow, harvest, butcher, preserve, etc. your own food, make your own clothes and do the "pioneer" stuff.

Compassionate - I've always taken care of the "underdog" and will continue to do so, whether it's a 16 year old student who needs a little extra TLC and an ear, a friend who needs a shoulder to lean on, or an elderly neighbor who needs help with groceries and such.

Thanks for posting this Rene!

Claudia,
Normally I would agree about not liking labels, but I think there is a differnece we "we assign our own." I think all to often we are willing to wear labels (even begrudgingly) that others assign, but are less willing to assign our own, that build us up. I truly believe that most of us have more than two aspects of who we are, but I just phrased the questions in the same way it was phrased to me. I think it is is also worthy of stating that some aspects of who we are may change. Certainly I havn't always been open to seeing my own light or the light of others. Yet, I have always been a writer.. so the labels are fluid and self named.

Claude09647 Posted - Jan 06 2010 : 5:15:54 PM
hmmmm.... this post really got me thinking. What two words would i choose to describe myself. I never liked labels to be linked to a person, but we are only human and that is just what we do. There are positive labels... along with negative ones too. But how do I find two that describe who i am.

The first would be..
Thinker---- I have a mind that i love to use. I was blessed with this wonderful mind and i find so many people waste their "Thinkers" with bland tv and the mumbo jumbo of everyday life. I love to read books. I like a good love story but i also love a good textbook to sit and learn and to ponder some of the new facts i have learned. We all have minds, its just up to us on how we use it.

The second word would be...
Creator---- I love my two hands. Anything with my two hands that i can think up to make is a great way to spend some time. With my two hands i am able to earn a living, and when i'm not making some extra money, i'm doing what i love most, Crafting! I love cooking, baking, crafting, sewing, crocheting, knitting, scrapbooking, wood working, anything i'm able to do with my hands.

Well thats me, plain and simple!

It's really difficult to boil it down to two words. I believe that every aspect of life is a spiritual experience/expression - from the mundane to the magnificent, therefore all aspects are universally valid. I also think in terms of art - whether it is crafting,spinning,knitting, sewing, working on my marquetry (inlaid woods), or painting or even gardening, taking care of animals and fixing a meal, and even coming up with a creative solution - it's all artistry in practice. So I guess it would be an Artistic Universalist. That may not be the best description of what I am trying to say but I feel that I am a spiritual being on a human adventure and I try to express that with as much artistry and imagination as I can. I think we are all in this together and the more we can do to support and help, and uplift each other, then the closer we will become to effecting the world toward a more positive outcome.

Blessings, Sheri

ceejay48 Posted - Jan 06 2010 : 2:36:31 PM
Rene,
I know you said TWO words but . . .
. . . I have to go this route.

1. Creator/organizer. I have been described as a "Master Organizer"
pulling all sorts of things together from a Relay for Life Event
to a Prayer Shower for our daughter.
I'm also CONSTANTLY creating things . . . the projects I make
in my "project room" . . . as well as my music. I have been at
the piano before I ever started school . . accomplished pianist,
piano instructor, voice instructor, choir director (talk about
"creative organizing"!!!) . . improvisation. Oh my!!!

2. Encourager/Nurturer: because I know, personally, the value of
being encouraged and how it feels when I'm not . . .and being
VERY BEAT UP . . and picked to the very bones of my soul! I
try to be sensitive to others and their needs for encouragement
and to be "in their balcony" CHEERING, SUPPORTING and HOLDING
THEM UP in this manner. I nurture my son who has Down
Syndrome (he's 36), my brain-injured sister . . and this entire
family as we deal with the related issues. But I also attempt
to nurture those who are hurting . . . no matter how they are
hurting. Nurturing also includes home, garden, pets, yourself
and all sorts of things.

Sometimes I think we need to look at WHO we are and how we fit into the grand scheme of things and be able to say, with pride and confidence . . . and humor (gotta laugh as much as possible!!!!) that I AM!!!!

I just turned 61 years old and while at my daughter's for Christmas I shook my booty for the family just for fun. Told my son-in-law this "Hey, I'm 61 years old and I can still touch my toes with ease (he can't even get close to his) and shake my booty!!!!"

GOD BLESS US . . . ONE AND ALL!!!

Kris,
I think that so many of us are like what you describe. I am finding that by labeling me it has also served as an anchor allowing myself to not be bounced to and fro when the winds of change blow in. While I always want to be open to change and to new things I now find that I can do so through the lens of Writer and Brilliant*ologist, and somehow that feels freeing.

Thank you so much for giving so much consideration to this little project, and willing to be vunerable in the process as I truly feel that I am better for having asked myself the questions and the settled into the answers. GREAT job by the way what could be better than a "Resourceful Dreamer?" and couldnt the world use more of them?

Rene', I saw this post this morning and I have thought about it since. While I was running errands in town and doing laundry. Sometimes I feel like I really don't know who I truely am. I am so many people. I am a Gemini so I always felt like I had a twin somewhere. I do have many different personalities. But I think I have come up with 2 words to describe myself right now.

Resourceful. I can pretty much do anything I set my mind to. I can also come up with pretty good dinners on next to nothing. I can stretch a dollar pretty darn far. I love to reuse anything I can find.

Dreamer. I am big dreamer. I see what I can be in my dreams. Although I may never actually be that person, I can see her. I have always had big aspirations for my life. Just getting there is a struggle. So I dream big.

There are alot more words. But you asked for only 2. This was really hard. I want to ask my family what 2 words they would choose for me. That should be interesting, for sure.

Kris

What a blessing to start this morning reading these. Truthfully, tears are running down my face. Kimberly the Magpie is priceless (shiny things), who will ever forget that title? In addition, rescuer and creator, two very powerful words. Beverely ~ I love that you highlight your originality and are curious enough to search that out in others. Susan, the ability to nurture and being committed to lifelong learning are both steps that can change the world. Jennifer, brilliant and successful are two titles that can leave us knowing that we can find a way out of any situation as well as that helping us to know that we are enough and have enough in any given moment. As a brilliant*ologist let me just say, thanks for using the word brilliant. Some seem afraid to use it in describing self and others... I am glad that you are not. Marybeth~ a happy optimist. My grandpa use to always say, "happiness is a choice", and I believe him, thanks for making the choice to see the possibilities in life. One of my new favorite artists is a gal named Kelly Rae Roberts and she defines herself as a possiblitarian. I love that.

Now the fun part. We get to go out into the world and be who we know we are. You have made my day!!!
