How I give away 72 lbs. of chocolate candy every Halloween

StrengthsFinder 2.0 Part 2 of 6 Intellection

In my spare time, I'm writing a series of posts on my official blog all about my StrengthsFinder 2.0 results. I just posted Part 2 of 6 the other day. The report I got lists my top 5 talent themes as Intellection, Adaptability, Learner, Analytical, and Connectedness. I'll be writing about each theme individually and then later I'll write about ideas for action and how it's working for me. Stop by my blog to keep up with the series.

If you follow any of my other blogs, you'll have picked up other details at Tumblr, Vox, LiveJournal, Wordpress, and Yahoo!.

Learning languages

I took courses in Italian and German while I was in college, more than 20 years ago. I have also dabbled in Lithuanian and Italian (again) on my own since then. Lithuanian is the most different from English. The main reason I try to learn another language is to stretch my brain and give me different ways of thinking about the world. Will I ever use it? I don't know. It depends on 1) if I have a reason to use it and 2) if I have someone with whom to practice it.

I can't quit you baby

Once I start a blog, it lives forever. This one is likely to remain a photo blog. I don't know why.
