You are an Audrey -- "I am at peace"

Audreys are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.

How to Get Along with Me

  • * If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure

  • * I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this

  • * Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit

  • * Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally

  • * Ask me questions to help me get clear

  • * Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery

  • * Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings

  • * I like a good discussion but not a confrontation

  • * Let me know you like what I've done or said

  • * Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life


What I Like About Being an Audrey
  • * being nonjudgmental and accepting

  • * caring for and being concerned about others

  • * being able to relax and have a good time

  • * knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around

  • * my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator

  • * my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now

  • * being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe


What's Hard About Being an Audrey
  • * being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive

  • * being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline

  • * being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally

  • * being confused about what I really want

  • * caring too much about what others will think of me

Down for the count...

Well, not totally. I had surgery on my right hand yesterday, so I can peck along on the keyboard some what, but sewing is going to be awkward for the next few days. I planned my surgery for this three day weekend (I get Monday off) so I wouldn't have to miss as much work. I'll be up and running again soon, I get my stitches taken out next Friday (I know TMI). I'm anxious to get started on the skirt I posted about in my last post. Actually, this is a great time to daydream a little and do some real planning. So, maybe I'll put more effort in some solid plans and goals.

Next time around I'll post about what I've dreamed up for my wardrobe plan with pattern and fabric selections. Have a great weekend and those off Monday ENJOY!


HAPPY SEWING!
