Who has been your greatest role model?
- LL Cool Joe said...
- I've had several role models in my life, that have all taught me different things. My Dad, my partner, Jesus, my Nanna.

- That's a great question. I can't say any one person has been my
greatest role model - I admire different people for different things.
The grace in which my older sister handled her son's illness when he was
little comes to mind.
- It had always been my plan to marry a wealthy man and hire
servants and stay at home to raise a family. Didn't happen. Married
for lust. Divorced after 9 years with a 4 year old son and a 3 year old
daughter. Found myself skilled as the bread winner having learned the
business world from my dad and skilled as a homemaker having learned
from my mother. Perfect combination. Treasure their influence and love
in my life to this day.

- In my younger years I would have to say my Mom. In my Christian
walk it was a special friend. In life in general I would have to say my
husband.

- My grandmother. When I was little, I wanted to grow up and be her.
- Arkansas Patti said...
- My Mom. She taught me to care for the smallest of God's creatures and to own compassion for all.
- Elephant's Child said...
- Lots of people shaped who I became.
And both of my parents were both positive and negative role models. They showed me who I wanted to be, and also showed me people I refuse to become.

Actually, my husband. Only married 12 years to him, and he's 16 years younger than me, but he brings a yang to my ying that my life was missing. He is so calm and collected. He he a perfect foil to my neurosis. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd hi! New to your blog!
Role model?
ReplyDeleteAll I knew was I didn't want to be like my mother. Now that it's too late, I think maybe I could have learned a thing or two from her. On the other hand she did prefer her sons and I remember her sole objective seemed to get me married off as soon as possible.
I really don't know, to be honest. I'm not sure if I even have one, or if I ever did.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I would have to say my granny.
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few. My parents. An aunt. Cousins. Friends. A nun from high-school. My grandparents. Still counting... :-)
