Pick a Color:
I am Turquoise Blue, I represent serenity, and calmness. I can make anyone smile when they look how beautiful I am. i am unique because I represent two colors in one. I am the color of my daughter's prom dress which is beautiful up against her skin. When I thought about it, I am my brother's favorite color. He named his daughter Tourquisha!
The Private -Eye Game:
The person who lives in this space loves to dress well. She has suits, and dresses that any woman with style would love to wear. She enjoys the brightest colors to reflect how cheerful she is, and the darkest colors that identifies her as warm and caring. Her books on the bookshelf represent that she is very much into African American history. Books that represent Lynching, to the Color Complex, to The African American Odyssey. She has several Bibles, self reflection, journals, and books that get her in touch with her spirituality. Her furniture has warm colors, and it is durable because she has children. However, she has added glass tables in her living room, and kitchen, and she is surrounded by mirrors throughout her space. I can tell she uses the reflection of the mirrors to reflect on her thoughts. She has surrounded herself with all types of music R&B, Soul, Jazz, Gospel, Blues, and she has a little of some 3 Mo Tenors. She has a brick fireplace to keep her warm in the winter and central air that will keep her cool on hot summer days. I can tell she is computer savvy because she owns more than one computer. I can tell she likes, and believes the products that she sells( Pampered Chef). Her kitchen, and closet are over flowing with them. I can tell she likes plants. There are many of them and for her it probably . represents growth
Seeing Yourself as Others see you (Version #2 Creating Your Own Cheering Section)
Barbara Sher states "if you've got even a little nerve try Version 1".
I am not generally shy, but I can be imaginative so, I going to go out on the limb & try Version 1. I picked my husband because he is someone who I love and trust and he will be honest with me.
I can tell you it wasn't easy because he feels more like the subject than I do (hum mm imagine that).
He wrote " You are very spiritual, loving, giving, trustful, loyal, and you are a good cook". It's a wonderful thing & I tell you I am surprise by some of his responses. He said these wonderful things about me & yes I am claiming them. I choose not to pick people that are famous like Albert Einstein, or even Oprah. I pick the people who are truly loving & they really got my back. I will not trade the people who I cherish for someone rich, or famous.
I wrote their names down and close my eyes and I imagined that I was one of them.
Getzman (husband) handsome, intelligent, loving, quick, eager, comical, trustworthy, compassionate, spiritual, great father, great husband, and provider.
Denisha (daughter) beautiful, smart, funny, compassionate, loving, humorous, passionate for others, speak Spanish.
Getzman Jr. (son) smart, funny, love to talk on phone, love body physic, smell good, loyal to friends.
Jacolbi (son) articulate,s,art very observant, loving, like African American History, speak Italian

We have a house right on the ocean floor where when we awake every morning with the hot beautiful sun greeting us. We enjoy the beautiful sound of the waves hitting the shore and color of the water is exquisite. My husband is thankful God gave me to him and he can not imagine life without me. (Vice versa). No amount of water could be put out the flame that him & I share. We are sharing our wonderful life with our grandchildren in this wonderful climate on the beach.
