What have you been putting off doing? Why? Two things:  getting started on writing a children’s book that I have wanted to do. I just need to suck it up, grab the confidence and GO!

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? In a shocking revelation for those who know of my coffee addiction, the time I felt grown up was when I got to have my first cup of coffee.  My grandfather always told me it would stunt my growth.

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? I used to love snow.  The sparkling white under streetlights of freshly fallen snow, sledding in it, the beauty of a white Christmas.  Not anymore.
