1.    Write about the best decision you ever made. How did you make it? Was it reasoning or gut instinct? the best decision I ever made was to accept myself as I am--physically, spiritually, and emotionally and it was both reasoning and gut instinct.  I am me.  I am a more compassionate, patient person for it.

2.    What ONE thing would you change about your life? How would your life be different? I wonder what my life would be like if my mum had lived.

3.    What is the hardest thing you have ever done? Why was it hard for you? What did you learn? January 2024 was the hardest thing I have ever done.  Being evicted after 29 years, having Covid, and finding a new place to live and managing the move in essentially two weeks on top of teaching and other obligations was a shitty start to the new year.  I learned that what will be will be.

4.    What is your greatest hope for your future? What steps can you take to make it happen? I hope to have a happy retirement.  The steps I can take--well, get through the next few years until I retire.

5.    If you can time travel, what will you tell your teenage self? He is not the one. And you should definitely go to more concerts!

6.    Write about the most glorious moment in your life so far. interestingly enough, the glorious moments I'm sorting through involve heights--climbing the spires of Sagrada Familia, observing the lights of Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower, kissing the Blarney Stone and curing my fear of heights, and floating over my hometown in a hot air balloon
