"Your Strength"

Hello everyone on this Wednesday, March 11, 2020.
Our topic for today is "Strength".
Here are definitions:
:the quality or state of being strong : capacity for exertion or endurance
: power to resist force : SOLIDITY, TOUGHNESS
: power of resisting attack : IMPREGNABILITY
: legal, logical, or moral force b: a strong attribute or inherent asset
: degree of potency of effect or of concentration
: intensity of light, color, sound, or odor
: vigor of expression
: force as measured in numbers : effective numbers of any body or organization
: one regarded as embodying or affording force or firmness : SUPPORT
: maintenance of or a rising tendency in a price level : firmness of prices
: BASIS —used in the phrase on the strength of
: vigorously forward : from one high point to the next

Which one of these definitions do you find yourself?  You may answer only if you've been given another question pertaining to a specific definition of strength.  Am I asking you in reference to being strong or how tough you are? Am I asking you because your organization and duties are measured in numbers which determines your strength?   Do you determine your strength based on physical, mental, or spiritual attributes?  All I'm trying to get you to do is to think seriously about your strength.
Here is my card share to help you out in your thinking:

I followed the sketch SC792 from Splitcoaststampers to make this card.
I've used Neenah white; Recollections black; Tonic Studio and Prima Havana cardstock.  The added embellishment (butterfly) is also from Prima "wild & free" chipboard pieces.
I will enter this card at https://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com
Come and join me on this site.

Thanks for viewing.

Sending you a hug and love,

"Strength"

Hello on this Thursday, January 9, 2020 to all !
It is nice and cold in my neighborhood.  It really would be nice to be back in an area that is warm and cozy, but I'll take my place of happiness for the present time.
Let's focus on "strength" for today.
How strong are you?  Seriously, when you look at yourself in the mirror or think about your overall self, how strong are you?  At this time of the year, many are in the gym to work on strengthening  their core muscles.  Does this mean that you are not physically strong?  Are you able to manage your emotions, thoughts and behaviors in ways that set you up for success?  If not, does this mean that you are not mentally strong?
What are some examples to determine strength?  Enthusiasm.  Trustworthiness. Creativity. Discipline.  Patience.  Respectfulness.  Determination.  Dedication.  Are you lacking in one or all of theses areas?
Maybe we should look at one definition of "strength" taken from the vocabulary.com dictionary:  ...permanence by virtue of the power to resist stress or force.  Let's go one step further and mention
"indestructibility"...the strength to resist destruction.
My point for today, which prompted this post, is that when we think about ourselves and our "strength", it has nothing to do with our physical ability.  "Strength doesn't come from what you can do.  It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't".~Rikki Rogers

 Enabler's List:

This next card was made for the sketch challenge (SC783) over at splitcoaststampers.com

I used Neenah white; Recollections black; Tonic Studio DP as well as Lavina Stamp DP.
Three dancers were die cut using Spellbinders "dancer" dies.  The "hello" die cut came from Hero Arts hello stamp and die.

We are strong even when we think we are weak.  Many of us have overcome  numerous things in our lives and we are still standing strong.  Keep this in mind as you go about your day or evening.

Sending you a hug and love.
