I wouldn’t call it a talent exactly, but I always know which way north is. Maybe everyone knows this? I can also say, and again not really a talent, but if I take a short catnap and tell myself I’m going to wake up in 12 minutes, I’ll wake up in 12 minutes. I think I learned this skill in college.

Those are amazing talents! I am directionally challenged and am amazed at your ability to wake yourself up. Can you direct your dreams?

I’m not sure how secret it is, but I have a talent for making the seemingly ordinary an adventure. We’re not lost it’s a side quest, it’s not only a birthday it’s an opportunity to celebrate some new quality you haven’t yet discovered, it’s not a walk - it is a sojourn through the…, and food prep is the discovery of fantastic flavors. For me, an adventure is everything!

I love this Apryl! When my boys were young, I was notorious for taking them on adventures. This basically involved spicing up ordinary things with a little flair. This is a great way to approach life!

My hidden talent is making something out of nothing. Now figure that one out! I can pull out appetizers for 12 with no notice. Or I can come up with decorations for something out of my garage!
