Hutzpa
I am naturally shy and timid, a very sweet person. I was always the quietest, most manipulated person there was. Until I dumped all my mother's programming and figured it out for myself.
It has been the MEN in my life (bosses included) who have manipulated me the most, and my one and only divorce taught me every thing I needed to know about myself.
My paranormal and psychic experiences have helped develop my character. Today, I am fun, grounded, independent and savvy.
The guys over here have tempered me as well. I am always trying to incorporate attitudes and temperments; that's what I do best. I suffer all except the assholes.
BTW, signing off......I fly up north to see my family today. It's been 2 years 2 long.
