Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive

[E]xperience

I wenr on a youth group trip and finally understood who loved me, I had know from childhood there was some. i had along way to go and stayed believing believing off and on but was sitting sitting on the fence, things still changed, but I was not growing

Garfield Community Church, Garfielf, Wa. Boyh my Pastor and I wore many hats, I was involved in the following
Made coffee for everyone, set up communio, grearter, My pastor xand I were the worship team, handed out communion, gatered the tithes and offerimng and fill out the bank paper work, Did worship when Pastor was gone, Co youth leader for the girls to have someone to go to. preached God’s work when God needed me to. did clean up after church.Board menber, secretary. Treasurer probably did this over a 10-15 year time. Left when mybhealth interfered with it. very strange that God took out the Pastor at the same time, it has changed this small church for the better.

God”s provition when everything was gone, except my home and vehicle. 2 weeks before I would’ve had to go live with my sister, that my income was reinstated.

Think of Ca poppies on my was home one day, about how I missed them on the road side, The next weeknI was treated with poppies along the road. NowvI see them all time. As they were taking me back tomy hospitak room I saw in an office a picture of poppies.

All the spiritual women who have stood by me and taught an me how to be a Christian women, who taught me and hugged me, making me feel safe as I hadn’t felt that before with my mother,

My mother was an alcoholic, who many times took her anger and bitterness out on me. there were several incidents, which I have forgiven, she was 40 years older than me, and took her bitterness on me. I resolved to not be bitter, but for a time was stillbangty about how things were against me

My first husband who was an atheist and a wife beater, I was pregnant ith my oldest daughter and he abanonded us, my daughter has since found him. I pray he has changed.

My 2nd husband had a secret life, we have two daughters as well. we were together from 1982-1907. He often worked away from home. I knew he had no inpulse control and was addicted to, marijuania, beer and cigerettes, as tge years went by, gambling, and meth were added. when he left I found out he also has a sexual. addiction. I had always thought it was me. But know now their is something wrongvwith his addictive personality, I pray the seeed planted years ago will be watered and brought back to life. I feel pity for this poor mam chained to addiction.
