About Us Bees

I didn’t know it was a thing.  I didn’t know I wasn’t alone. I didn’t know I was ok, special even.  What a relief.  

My boredom is not a character flaw.  My obsession to learn is not aspergers.  My inability to settle is not detrimental!

The world needs to know about this.   I can’t believe I just found out! I google random stuff all the time. How did I not find it?  I pride myself on being on the cutting edge of trends, but I totally missed this.  Perhaps because it’s not a trend. Not like ‘following your dream’ or “being YOU’.This is an explanation for who we are. This is a way of living, working, surviving.  Thank the Lord!

We need memes.  Lots more memes.  That’s how people came to appreciate introverts.  Books and memes. Yes, there’s an open market here!!  Am I too late?

Emelie calls us Multipotentialists.  Others, a Generalist, Scanner, Polymath. (https://puttylike.com/)

What a mouthful!  I’m thinking Polydexter.  That term might get coined.  Finger in many pies. Turn your hand to many things.

Crap, I just googled Polydexter and it’s the name for some robotic arm.  Polydexterous is not in the dictionary, but it fits, in definition. What about Polydexterian?  I like it! Polymath means a person of broad learning, but too many people will think it just means math, and besides, they’re like masters or experts of many things.  We don’t just have vast learning, we DO lots of things! Especially me.

I listed all my talents and interests, going through the alphabet.  Then it was pretty easy to find the overarching theme – Finding a Home.

Where do you belong?

 You’ve felt it-

– snuggled up with that person who feels like ‘home’
– in the midst of a project that has you vibrating with excitement
– lost in a book that’s reading your mind
– feeling alive on stage, breathless and sweaty, your heart pumping, 
– careening down a snowy mountain, or climbing up a craggy cliff
– aching in wonder at the immense beauty of the world
That sweet spot you never want to leave.  

All my life I’ve been asking, “Who am I?” and coming up empty handed.  Or rather with two very full hands that get me no closer to my answer.

And then I found it.  I found myself. And I knew I was home.

It was there all along.  I am many-handed. A Polydexterian.

I’m looking for Bees Like Me.  People who flit from flower to flower, gathering nectar, seeking variety and enjoying the journey. You need a community to share your sweet hoard with.  

Make this hive your home.
