Q&A
Totally stole the idea from Kate...
1. What is your idea of perfect happiness? An undying trust in the goodness of the Universe, unconditional love for myself and all others, being surrounded by the great people in my life, lots of laughter.
2. What is your greatest fear? (My answer is the same as Kate’s) Being abandoned or rejected by the people I love.
3. Which living person do you most admire? Elie Wiesel
4. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? I tend to be forgiving with others but judgmental of myself.
5. What is the trait you most deplore in others? Being inauthentic.
6. What do you consider the most overrated virtue? Selflessness
7. On what occasion do you lie? To please another.
8. What do you dislike most about your appearance? My weight.
9. What is your greatest regret? Happily, there are none. I am truly beginning to see that even “problems” came bearing gifts.
10. What or who is the greatest love of your life? The life experience itself.
11. Which talent would you most like to have? I would like to be a great peacemaker.
12. What is your current state of mind? I’m sick, but at the moment, I’m kinda having the pain without the suffering. It’s a nice change.
13. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I am often swayed by my ego instead of just trusting my intuition.
14. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Having searched for, and ultimately, creating my own truths.
15. If you were to die and come back as a person or thing, what do you think it would be? I really liked Kate’s answer- a well-loved cat. Oh, the delicious laziness!
16. What is your most treasured possession? I love my photographs, especially those of my Papaw Berryhill or the childhood photos with my sister and brother. Such beautiful innocence!
17. What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? A feeling of hopelessness
18. Where would you like to live? Oklahoma has turned out to be a wonderful place, full of the best people I’ve ever met. I do want to get out of town and make my home in the country.
19. What is your most marked characteristic? My dedication to my growth.
20. Who are your favorite writers? Oh boy, Neale Donald Walsh (who I think is incredibly brave), Gary Zukav (a true peacemaker), Marianne Williamson (if I can be half the woman she is…), Louise Hay (she gets it!), Richard Bach (Illusions taught me to be open to the magic in life), Martha Beck (spiritual, wise, and hysterically funny), Mitch Albom (when I need a good, soul-cleansing cry), the list goes on…
21. Who is your favorite hero of fiction? Huge fan of Junie B. Jones. ;-)
22. Who are your heroes in real life? My best friend, Tara. She is authentic, full of love and laughter and joy. I am so, so glad that she chose me to be the girl with whom she shares her journey. It is an amazing one.
23. What is it that you most dislike? Besides mayonnaise? Closedmindedness.
24. What is your motto? The above quote by Anais Nin
25. Favorite Journey? Hiking and snowmobiling in Utah and Montana with my Dad.
26. What do you value most in your friends? They really put themselves out there, they are unafraid of what others think, and they are not afraid to speak their truth to anyone. These people do not hold back, and I adore that.
27. Which words or phrases do you must overuse? “I should…”
28. Which historical figure do you most identify with? There isn’t one that comes to mind.
29. What is your greatest extravagance? Massages
30. If you could change one thing about your family, what would it be? I loved Kate’s answer, and I couldn’t have said it better- “I'd wave a magic wand and make it so that we could communicate with each other honestly without hurtful words or drama.”
31. What is your favorite occupation? On a really good day, teaching. I do see myself growing into something more, possibly sooner rather than later.
32. What is the quality you most like in a woman? Awareness
33. What is the quality you most like in a man? Awareness
34. How would you like to die? Peacefully, please, and with Papaw being the first to greet me.
