Sitting around on the patio enjoying drinks and snacks and just talking with a group of good friends,  yesterday questions were asked and I thought I would share some of my answers with you.

1. If you were not a therapist, what would you be? A nightmare, I love this profession
2. Best career advice I’ve ever gotten? Don’t look at the person, but pay attention to the message
3. What kind of work would you do for free? Cook, run a farm?
4. Change I would like to see in my industry. Transparent rules to licensure and professional growth
5. Last thing I binged watched? Blacklist and Scandal
6. Song that always gets me running? Beyoncé Girls, you can’t hear the song and not take off
7. What are your financial fears or dreams? My financial fear is being poor- by that I mean living paycheck to paycheck and not having enough savings to cover my living expenses. My financial dream is sustaining my current life style in retirement
8. What every person should try once? Something new at the farmer’s market and a walk in the woods
9. One thing I am exceptionally good at? Gardening
10. The beauty essential you have to pry out my hand- almond oil, I have dry skin
11. My first kiss: Um my biological parents, I hope.
12. What would my ex-boyfriend would say about me? How many companies does she run?
13. Do you ever find yourself stuck for blog ideas? No. Titles, yes- but ideas, never.
14. How would you describe your blogging style? Real life, I started to share my career and I hope I am doing that with the articles and reflections I share. I also hope I am showing readers how to have a complete life by cooking, enjoying days off, and volunteering. At the end of tough days, those moments matter.
15. What’s the craziest thing you ever bought? I once bought a $50 denim shirt while in graduate school. Luckily I still have that shirt, and although I am financially sound, I still think $50 is a lot for a shirt.
16. What makes you happy and sad? This moment right here with friends, what pisses me off is racism, poverty, and child abuse.
17. If you could buy one thing, money not being an object, what would you buy? Everything and nothing
18. If you could travel one place where would it be? I’ll just take a round trip ticket around the world
19. Do you have any more of this salsa? No (I made salsa by grilling all the ingredients today)
20. What do you want people to know about you? I am learning Instagram, please check me out (laughs) and what you see or in the case of the blog read is the real me.
