What Kind of Wild Are You?

“What kind of wild are you?” This question whirled in my head earlier tonight as I gazed at a poster in a coffee shop that was meant to market a new latte flavor. “What kind of wild am I?” I thought to myself. And then I realized that in order to accurately answer that question, I would need to understand the meaning of the word “wild.” After perusing through twenty two different meanings on dictionary.com, I landed on the following:

WILD - Informal. Intensely eager or enthusiastic.

One of my strengths is my ability to remain positive. You could probably describe me as “wildly giddy.” I love to laugh, love to smile, love to see others’ smile. Sunny days are far better than cloudy ones and I thrive off of positive energy. I’m always eager for a new challenge, eager to learn something new about someone, eager to make a new friend. I’m enthusiastic by nature, chomping at the bit to start the project at hand. While I pride myself on my professional, formal mannerisms, I love to get informal with people and cut through the fluff to dig deeper into someone’s soul, what makes them who they are. Isn’t that what true friendships are based on anyway?

What kind of wild is Mandy Anderson? I’m wild about life, really. Wild about my dreams. Wild about the lessons I am learning and wild about sharing those lessons with the people that are in my life.

So, what kind of wild are you? Let’s have a wild conversation and dig a little deeper!

As always, be blessed, be healthy, and be inspired!
