- She's confident and sensitive: "The young lady seemed to have a great deal of confidence, both in herself and in others; but this abrupt generosity made her blush."
- She speaks her mind: " 'Ah,' said Isabel slowly, 'You must be our crazy Aunt Lydia!' "
- She has an active imagination: "Her imagination was by habit ridiculously active; when the door was not open it jumped out of the window."
- She has great energy for and deep thoughtfulness about life: "...she had an immense curiosity about life and was constantly staring and wondering. She carried within herself a great fund of life, and her deepest enjoyment was to feel the continuity between the movements of her own soul and the agitations of the world."
- She has a clever sense of humor: " ' He thinks I'm a barbarian,' she said, 'and that I've never seen forks and spoons;' and she used to ask him artless questions for the pleasure of hearing him answer seriously. Then when he had fallen into the trap, 'It's a pity you can't see me in my war-paint and feathers,' she remarked; 'if I had known how kind you are to the poor savages I would have brought over my native costume!'
- "She's an independent thinker: " 'I shall always tell you,' her aunt answered, 'whenever I see you taking what seems to me too much liberty.' 'Pray do; but I don't say I shall always think your remonstrance just.' 'Very likely not. You're too fond of your own ways.' 'Yes, I think I'm very fond of them. But I always want to know the things one shouldn't do.' 'So as to do them?' asked her aunt. 'So as to choose,' said Isabel."

If I didn't know better, I would identify this blogger as someone who has a heart of gold, is extremely trusting of others. Is a hopeful and beautiful woman both inside and out! This angel on earth gives her self little credit for being patient and brilliant and a true advocate for her children and other children that cross her path. This angel on earth strikes me as someone loyal to her loved ones and her employers and friends. Does she long for acceptance from the Lord and others? I think so. Would she give you the shirt off her back? I'm sure she would lend it to you. You're a giver and you can rest your head at night knowning in the smallest and sometimes the largest ways, you've made a difference today. Keep doing exactly what you're doing!
