Thanks to Trish – LIEBSTER AWARD (My 1st blogging award ever!!!)

LIEBSTER AWARD!

 

 

Thank you to the amazing Trish at http://10yearsasinglemom.wordpress.com/ who has an amazing heart, a nurturing spirit, and is also a really talented writer!  Thank you for your support.  It means the world to me!!!

1. Who is your favorite person? My Mom (she passed away a few years ago).  She taught me to always be honest, courageous and true to myself.  She radiated joy and love.  Picture Carol Brady, June Cleaver, the Dalai Lama and Dr Ruth all wrapped in a tiny little 5 ft package.
2. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? Anyplace tropical where there is clear blue water and fruity drinks with umbrellas.
3. What was your last random act of kindness? I just helped a coworker carry a bunch of boxes to her office.
4. What’s a recent book you read that you liked and why? The Ultimate Happiness Prescription: 7 Keys to Joy and Enlightenment by Deepak Chopra.  It gives you simple exercises like meditation (I’m a beginner) to bring out your true self and let go of your ego.  It made me feel lighter and happier just reading it.
5. What’s your favorite meal? Chicken cutlets, my Mom’s mashed potatoes and salad with homemade dressing.
6. Does the current place you live in feel like home or is there someplace else that feels that way for you?  My house now feels like home and is comfortable.  But for me, home will always be my parent’s house where I lived for 27 years.
7. Where do you find your inspiration?  I find a lot of inspiration in my relationships with family, friends, etc.  I also get inspired by reading, looking at photographs, art, movies and television.
8. What makes you laugh?  Gosh, almost everything. Laughter is much more important than people know.  I love British comedies like Keeping Up Appearances and really silly comedies like the Hangover.
9. Would you ever skydive? Definitely
10. What is your favorite holiday?  It used to be Christmas before my Mom died.  Now I love the Fourth of July.
