What is your underrated skill set? - good question and good point for self reflection. Once we clear the weeds of negative self talk, there are more skills and talents than we realize. One of mine--I think, explaining things? I can grasp complicated ideas quickly enough to take action, and deeper understanding comes later. I use this at work in meetings to help translate between departments, or I have, historically. the other side of the coin is i get frustrated when people are bad at explaining and we spend 30 minutes trying to get on the same page about an idea I feel like I have figured out.
Favorite Saint who failed up? - I was just listening to a Manly Saints podcast about St John the Harvester, bad things kept happening but he discovered his Christian heritage and gave voluminously to the poor and ended up performing miracles before and after his death. I he didn't let life setbacks discourage him--he glorified them!
What is something you want to master in 2026? - Too many things. Too many. All the things. I'm trying not to look too far ahead. But--if I can keep my prayer life burning throughout this year I'll call it a win.
Yes absolutely - to everything you said! Explaining things! That's amazing . Walther is great at this too and I appreciate this as someone who is very Michael Scott. We need people like you!!
I would say one of my underrated skill sets is bringing people together. I meet people and love connecting them to others. I'm a connector.
Blessed Solanus Casey is so wonderful to read about when I'm struggling. Especially when I'm struggling with a concept/situation I don't understand.
I want to master my communication skills especially with my kids.
