Elephant Test

Who Are You?

Here's are results from last week's test. This is what the cup that you chose tells about you.

IVY'S CHOICE, tea cup #9: a light cream cup with ornate lavender roses

You love to feel liked and adored by everyone.

A great day for you is getting lost in a deep conversation, a good book, learning something new or listening to music. You appreciate being educated, for you feel it gives you power.

You desire to be known as someone who has accomplished many things, but you need to hop out of your bubble and assess life from a clear and grounded perspective.

Your thinking needs more balance and more appreciation.

Spending time in nature, or donating your time to a charity or cause in your area could really shift your mind set.

Your task is to do something kind for someone or something, to do something for others that comes from your heart. 

VIC'S CHOICE, tea cup #4: a slim, green metallic sippy container

Always on the go. Never enough time. Right? There are just not enough hours in a day to get everything done. You dislike being alone with your own thoughts, that is why you keep so busy.

You are a very disciplined person, yet you need to take the time to figure out what you really want to do with your life. Spend more time with people that inspire you and make you feel good. 

You need to take your image conscious energy and put it into a craft or hobby that takes you down a new path. In the meantime, try journaling, or writing out your thoughts. It is time to start observing the world around you as a magnificent miracle.

Take time to slow down and truly start observing.

Your task is to do nothing for a full day, maybe two. Literally try to do nothing. You will slowly ease into it.  Being on the go desensitizes us from life.

ALI'S CHOICE, tea cup #7: a pale pink, non-ornate cup 

Slightly high strung, you are usually quite a worried person that likes routine and the familiar. You enjoy the balance of your day-to-day schedule and all of your decisions are very thought out. 

You have a great empathy for others and can be quite a sensitive person. You have some kind of strong faith that you let guide your life.

You might feel that you have not found your authentic self yet, but that is because you need to become more independent and discover who YOU really are. Develop your own dreams and interests. Find what makes you truly happy.

Your task is to join a group or class that is completely out of your comfort zone. Just try it. It will help you decide what you truly love.

Is the assessment on point?

****************************************************************

This week's test continues with a roaring trumpet blast.

Discover how you think and act and some areas of your personality. 

You just need to signify with which one of these elephants you identify the most.

Please send me the number of the elephant you chose.

Until next week.

Snort, snort, grunt. Pffffteee. Arouuu!

Pick A Tea Cup

Who Are You?

I already know me.

A little random.

A little scattered.

What about you? Who are you, really?

In my blogs, I've attempted to do a portrayal of you through stories, anecdotes, and characterizations. Have they been accurate? Did they hit the mark? Sorta? Not quite?

Well, today, if you're reading this with a cup of coffee or tea in your hand and a heart filled with a desire to disclose the real you or discover stuff about yourself that you haven't even been looking for, this series of personality tests that I'm offering just might fill the bill.

Quizzes of this kind are usually intense.

Bleh.

Not these. Definitely not Myers Briggs or one of those other fancy assessments. But the revelation might be surprising or at least interesting and fun.

Are you game?

Here's this week's test. It’s time to brew some coffee or tea, let go of the stress, and delve into an aspect of who you are.

Which coffee/tea cup would you regularly drink out of? 

Please send your response (cup #) to me only through text or email. 

Analysis next week!

 

Love Haiku iv

Haiku is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. It consists of three phrases with 17 phonetic units in a 5, 7, 5 pattern.

love came to millions

 who found mates on match.com

hey, it sounded good

it worked, so why not?

-----------------------------------------------------

This was what I had planned on posting.

Phooey! I don't even know and am past match.com.

I suppose that with all the previous cavalier and I-don't-care-anymore postings on love, there is still a vestige in me that believes in romance, if only as a nostalgic memory. It is what makes love poignant.

Thus, I end the series with these lines that were recently shared by a dear friend.

You shall not forget, for I am past forgetting

I shall come to you again

With the starlight, and the scent of wild champakas,

And the melody of rain.*

What more is there to say?

I concede.

Love remains.

Love Haiku iii

Haiku is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. It consists of three phrases with 17 phonetic units in a 5, 7, 5 pattern. 

all you need is love

but a little chocolate

will not really hurt.

Wanted!

Have you seen this person?

Notorious for being a fish thief

Wanted in all 50 states of the Union

Be wary.

She is careful to hide her identity.

  

She has even been spotted garbed in a fish costume. What? Is that the dead carcass of the fish she stole that she's wearing?

Note: Beside her is her partner-in-crime. Don't be fooled by those dreamy puppy eyes. She is a thief in her own right - of socks, rocks, and Uno cards.

Sometimes though, this wanted person has taken off her Jackie-O sunglasses to reveal her face.

Alas, but only a partial view.

Who can she be?

Where could she be hiding?

There was a rare sighting of her running down a foggy mountain in New Zealand.

Or was that simply an apparition?

A paparazzi photo has revealed that she could really be a hobbit who lives in a hobbit-hole. Geez, what do we really know about this wanted person?

One time, based on a tip, we followed a trail of chocolate Milano cookies that could possibly lead to her hideaway.

Guess where the yummy brown bits led?

To this person with an unusually small head and giant toes! 

What?! Is she related to Big Foot? The pursuit for this fugitive is getting to be more interesting! 

There are rumors, though, that her Dad is this good-looking fella. Odds are against her, though, for if she ever boards his vehicle, she'll easily be spotted in his solar octane Toyota 4Runner. 

Anyway, today, let's try to find and apprehend the thief, not only to enjoy the $1,000 reward but also to get the chance to say, You're in luck, girl!

If you surrender, your prison sentence will be reprieved because  according to government records, it's your birthday today!

Come out and surrender.

Let's celebrate 11 years!

And remember, no more fish robberies, or you'll immediately be thrown in jail and rot like a fish.
