11 Answers

1. What is one object you can’t live without?

In Haiti I learned to live without a lot of things, but one thing, I don't think I could ever live without is my bed. 

2. If you were an animal, what would you be?

A small animal that gets a lot done. I'm not sure what that would be…but I'm it. 

3. What’s your go-to comfort food?

Mac and Cheese - If I ever don't know what to eat, especially for lunch, nothing is better than some Velveeta shells and these. 

4. Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging for myself, to write about the things I was learning. 

5. What is your dream job?

I guess I'm doing it. I love what I do. 

6. If you had a super power, what would it be?

I'm sorry, I don't think I would want a super power. I've thought about this for a while. There are things that are appealing to most of them, but then I kept thinking of the negatives…like I think it would be cool to see in the future, but would it, it would change the way you live today…

7. What do you consider your best quality?

I love hard. (sometimes this isn't great). I pour everything I have into relationships, friends, work etc. 

8. If you could be the best in the world at something, what would it be?

I'm sorry, I have no idea on this one. 

9. How would you describe the perfect evening?

Spending the night on the dock at our lake home, with a glass of wine, talking with my favorite people. 

10. Where would you most like to travel?

This is so difficult for me. There are so many places I would want to go…but I have always wanted to go to Australia and still would love to. 

11. And the most important question of them all…. Toilet paper – over or under?

I don't have a preference and in our home right now we don't have a holder that allows either…so even better.
