If a Pea needs advice what areas are you excellent at.
Me?
I am darn good at my job in the mortgage business and can work through most closing and post closing issues.
Also I am my groups "craft-bulance" and can be counted on in any craft emergencies!!

I always refer to myself as a Jack of All Trades, Master of None, so I can probably help with several things. Mainly sewing, travel, moving, expat life, thrifting and maybe selling on eBay.

Computer programs. Any of 'em. I play around enough that I am pretty good at figuring out how to do whatever you are supposed to be doing in them, and figuring out shortcuts, etc. Things like Photoshop or Excel or EPIC/ORCA (electronic medical record programs used by my hospital), etc.
Also: I am the self-proclaimed Queen of Google. I can find anything, if it exists on the internet. It is all about figuring out what phrase/keywords you should use.
And, travel planning. For me or for others. I made the most epic travel plan bring-along guide for our first 2 week Europe trip a few years ago. Absolutely over the top planning that was thorough and awesome. I added pictures from our trip to the guide (it was a blank magnetic-close journal when I started) when we got home, and have had tons of compliments on it's coolness.

crafty/DIY stuff I do a ton of and love to help others, also wedding invitations (my 2nd job) and décor, Etsy questions (where I have my shop) and sometimes car stuff- I used to do light repairs on my own, and my dad and brothers are mechanics so I still absorb a lot of info.

I'm really good at travel planning too. For me it's all part of the fun of the holiday. I'm good at finding deals, whether it's flights, hotels, tickets, etc. The first time we went to New York (pre-internet) DH couldn't believe how I could say things like "if we turn right here, then walk two blocks north, we'll be at the library". I'm also good at helping to build people's confidence, and I'm good at public speaking. Not really skills I can use with the Peas...

I'm good at connecting with kids, and as a resource finder for other teachers.
I think, and have been told, that I'm good at listening to others and offering calm and rational advice or support.
I'm good at editing and proofreading, and have an eye for tiny little things that need to be tweaked.

and I'm good at public speaking. This is one quality I wish I had. I get in front of people and freeze and then start crying. It's horrible!
I'm good with numbers, keeping finances straight and up to date. That's sorta boring when you type it all out.
People say I'm good at photography and house decorating.

I can get along with anyone. I think it's one of my greatest strengths as an employee. I won't become friends with just anyone, but at work, I get along well with people.
I'm good at puzzles and untying knots in jewelry chains.

I do massage, kinesiology, muscle energy technique and aromatherapy massage. I also did a course on nutrition and the Blood Type Diet, which can suppress the auto-imune problems that can cause fibro.

I'm quick witted and sarcasm is my super power. I'm pretty bad about cutting with words (stabbing?). I'm working on it!
I think I'm a good solid B+ at most things I do in my life. Other ppl tell me I'm an A, but I'm not.

I cannot bake to save myself, but I can make a really good piecrust. Just don't ask me to bake anything in it haha. At holiday time, my neighbor and I trade duties - I make all the pie crusts and she does all the fillings. Works great for us!

I have never heard of that, an osteomyologist, I will have to look into it. I do see a PT for myofascial release massage. I have heard of the blood type diet and have been meaning to do more research.
