Share five things you’re good at.

“No one is you and that is your super power.”

I never feel totally comfortable talking about myself. Honestly, it’s probably one of the reasons I arrived fashionably late to the Blog Party. I spent years hovering outside the door, worried about putting myself out there, bracing for criticism that might never even come. But somewhere between dreaming about writing and actually doing it, I finally hit “send.” And just like that, my words were out in the world. Suddenly I was answering prompts, connecting with fellow bloggers, and fanning this tiny—but mighty—writer’s flame spark back to life.

With that little backstory, let’s tackle today’s prompt.

I feel like I’ve stepped onto the set of Family Feud or some fabulously cheesy 70s game show. “We surveyed one hundred people… tell us FIVE things you’re good at.” The lights are bright, the clock is ticking, and here we go.

1. Presentations.

Hand me a microphone and a room full of people, and I’m oddly at home. Speeches, training sessions, full-on emcee duties—bring it on. I spent years as a trainer at GEICO, teaching Customer Service employees. I genuinely miss those days. Twice I was asked to emcee my friend’s fundraising event, standing in front of 250+ people as we raised money for her cancer foundation. It was an honor, a thrill, and maybe the closest I’ll ever get to feeling like a celebrity host—minus the sequins.

2. Listening.

Not the pretend kind of listening where someone nods while crafting their response. I mean the real deal. I’m an active listener, always trying to understand not just what someone is saying—but what they mean. It’s one of the quieter things I’m proud of.

3. Shopping.

Look… part of this might be a hobby, part might be a personality trait, and part might be a slight obsession—but I am a good shopper. I can track down the perfect gift or that one impossibly specific item like it’s a mission assigned directly by the universe. I am relentless and I have no shame about it.

4. Dancing.

You will not catch me doing this in public anymore—my ego is fragile and TikTok is unforgiving—but I’m actually a pretty decent dancer. Nineteen years of dance will do that to a girl. It’s probably why Broadway musicals have my whole heart. I don’t just watch the show; I devour the choreography like it’s dessert.

5. Being a loyal friend.

Plain and simple. If you’re mine, I’ve got you. No disclaimers, no fine print. Just loyalty, wrapped up in love, salted with honesty, and delivered in the way only I know how.

  16. Kiki, your words shine with authenticity, courage, and quiet confidence — the kind that grows from real life, real effort, and real heart. The way you embrace your strengths, from powerful presentations to true listening and loyal friendship, is both uplifting and deeply relatable.
