Sigh…

If you had a time machine and could send just one message to your past self, what would it say? Just one message would be, ‘don’t move in with your grandparents and get your degree in English and let it take you some place.’

Dinner Muse…

Which author would you love to have dinner with? I would love to have had dinner with Sue Grafton. I love her alphabet series. Unfortunately, she has passed away. She never finished the alphabet and it would interesting to see how she’d finish and what conclusion we could have had with the characters. Regarding having dinner with her, I think it would have been so cool to pick her brain on her…

Gotta Have Faith…

What’s a moment when a stranger completely restored your faith in people? As long as humans are imperfect, you gotta take them as they are. There are the kind and generous ones, the narcissists and sociopathic one, and all in between walking amongst us. I try to worry about myself. To answer the question, if anything, my interactions with humans do the exact opposite. I don’t have restored…

It’s Worth It…

If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say? That’s all I’d like to hear. Or, ‘don’t give up’. As we cruise through this world, it is like a trip to the unfamiliar. It seems to last forever. “Are we there yet?’ comes loudly from the backseat. And, we arrive, you check your watch, it’s only been 30 minutes. Not very long at all. Just keep moving forward. We’ll…

School Wishes…

What’s a thing you wish schools actually taught? I always read on social media that people wished schools would teach life skills like budgeting, cooking, and taxes, etc. I am assuming some schools don’t teach that which is why it is being wished for. My kids had that class—life management. One of them took the second class that was optional. For me, the USA’s high school system needs to go and…

Thanks, pet…

Share a photo of your pet and tell us one thing that makes them uniquely them. This is Pierce and he is definitely unique. My husband rescued him from work. Someone left this old man behind when they moved out. He is a big cuddler. He does have to climb up because he can no longer jump with badly arthritic legs and rear hips. He likes to announce his presence with a meow/scream when you’re…

No More…

What’s a quote that perfectly describes your outlook on life? Not so much a quote, but a lyric pays in my head when I see so much evil in the world. “In a little while longer and the wicked one will be no more. You will give attention to his place, and he will not be there.” This Psalm (song) promises us so much happiness. A beautiful life without those who harm and destroy. A relief to the…

The Art of Advice…

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? I rarely ask for advice, people are usually compelled to give it. It’s rarely good, but opinion-based. I prefer facts. Give me data and I will listen. Even if it worked for you, doesn’t mean it necessarily works for me. Just sayin’…

No Worries…

What’s something you used to worry about but don’t anymore? I worry…about many things. I have experienced too much loss to not worry about loosing something, or someone, else. I learned to worry. I worry… I am worried about my twins out in nature, enjoying life but exposed to danger. I worry about leaving the house and there is a fire. I worry… I am worried about getting another dog now that…

Destination to Nowhere…

What are your top 10 travel destinations? Okay, let me depress myself some this morning. The top ten places I’d love to visit knowing I never will… France – I wanted to see the Eiffel Tower but walking it in Google Maps is the only way it will happen. Italy – Lake Como looks beautiful. Greece – the white buildings are gorgeous. Iceland – because of Northern Lights Germany – for the second…

And I quote…

What is your favorite quote? …I remember two. “Don’t take any wooden nickels” and “a boy let on the loose, is causing his mother shame.” One is a caution against being scammed. The other, a proverb, is about how a young person’s actions can reflect on their parents. They aren’t exactly favorites, I just remember them. I don’t usually live my life based on quotes. They aren’t written anywhere…

The Basics…

What’s a skill you consider basic, that most people don’t actually know how to do? I lived as the world went digital from analog. It was basic. We used typewriters and went to libraries. We wrote in cursive without the use of Ai to write reports and essays, etc. it was a much simpler times. One skill we don’t use anymore is allowing boredom to inspire the imagination. (If you still have that…

Tips…

If you had to give one life-changing tip, what would it be? Ironically, I was just telling my kids (they’re in their 20s) to never listen to your mother. The mistake I did as a young person. I know what I was saying was rather self-defeatist considering I am their mother, but I stand by that statement. Please, don’t listen to me. Ironic? Absolutely. I am telling them to not listen to me, but I…

Relatable…

Who is the fictional character you relate to the most? I’d relate to any character who’s an INTJ female: introverted, quiet, internalize everything, planning two steps ahead, and judgmental. I feel a bit connected to Sue Grafton’s character, Kinsey Milhone. She notices details, just like me. She prefers solitude. She keeps people at a distance usually, but at times desires to be around others.…

Design and Decor…

What’s your home decoration style? As an interior designer, I need to studying trends for customers. But, when it comes to my own home, I have my own style. I love traditional and very eclectic styles, with my tastes ranging from Victorian to Mid-Century modern. I think my home reflects that taste. I want my space to feel comfortable and clean. (I wish it would be clean)

Un-reasonable…

Do you think everything happens for a reason? I don’t believe everything happens for a reason necessarily. Bad things happen to good people. Time and unforeseen occurrences befall us all. We can be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Those in the twin towers didn’t get punished for anything. It was a tragic act of terrorism. In this world, the innocent suffer as the wicked seem to…

Lyrical Memory…

What’s a song lyric that has stuck with you forever? Song lyrics don’t stay with me. It’s because I have very little auditory memory. I’m 100% visual. I do appreciate in the moment the lyrics of Taylor Swifts songs. They’re poetry. I don’t remember any of them. But, they’re often clever. I wish I remembered lyrics. My sister is much better at it. And, she’s good at math and I suck at it. Maybe…
