What is the first thing you do when you wake up?

Have you ever felt genuine fulfillment? When?

When I am with my family. I loved it when I could meet their needs when they were small. Now, I love it when their needs are met by themselves. Very fulfilling

 

What is your most repetitive, negative thought?

Fear someone I love will get hurt or die. Because it has happened. A lot.

 

What is your most repetitive, positive thought?

Gratitude.

 

What is one thing that surprised you about adulthood?

How expensive it is.

 

What are three things you want to put every woman onto? 

  1. Make your own money

  2. Know your worth

  3. Never be afraid to ask for what you are worth

 

Rank the following from most to least important: 

money, food, sex, love, and laughter (feel free to explain or don’t).

Love, Laughter, Sex, Food, Money

 

How has your relationship with your parents/ guardians changed in adulthood?

I developed an appreciation for how much they loved me, which made us grow closer. Then I had kids, and I understood. It made our relationship more equal.

 

When do you feel most like yourself? 

When I am swimming, when I am with my family, when I am helping others, when I am traveling, and when I decorate people’s homes.

 

What is the best compliment someone has ever given you?

I said, “God has been very good to me,” and the response was ‘Well, you have been very good to him.” That blew my mind. And I like it when people tell me I am very patient.

 

How do you feel about falling in love? 

I love it. Being vulnerable and falling in love makes you grow. Whether it works out or not

 

What is one thing you’re sick of hearing?

I don't like hearing The Lord’s name in vain.

 

How often do you feel alone? 

Never. God is always with me, and so are loved ones who have passed.

 

What is one thing you hope everyone experiences in their lifetime? 

A deep spiritual connection so they never feel alone.

 

What is one thing you hope no one has to experience in their lifetime? 

A loss that they cannot accept or work through.

 

What is the best decision you’ve ever made? 

  1. To marry my husband

  2. To have kids

  3. To have my Dad move in with us

 

When do you feel most at ease? 

With my family.

 

What does having a successful life mean to you? 

Love and respect from people I love and respect. And to be a good role model in navigating life and relationships and how to serve others.

 

How often do you think about your body? 

Too much.

 

When do you ask for help? 

With technology, I fucking hate technology.

 

What is something you feel strongly about? 

Life is way easier when you don't think about yourself as the center of the equation. I finally learned that it's not really about me. It’s a huge world, and I am just a speck (kind of gives me the perspective that my shit is really not all that big, which then allows me to be present and peaceful). Takes the anxiety away.

 

BONUS: Tell me something good. 

I love you.
