| 27. How does humor play out in your life? Do you think having a good sense of humor is important? Share with us one of those 'you had to be there' moments that made you laugh. Humor...well humor is a HUGE part of my life...I have a twisted, blunt and very real, down to earth type of sense of humor... Just ask gardengirl LoL She will tell ya....I can bring ya down from the worst mood to laughing so hard your crying...(and then have to talk to the dentist) Bahaha...I can describe something that happened to me and it always ends up somehow containing humor...weather it is what I am talking about or HOW I talk about whatever...I can be sarcastic on a dime...but not a rude sarcastic..a funny one lol... I think I use humor to hide a lot of things..emotions, feelings...hmmm...interesting...Maybe I do...maybe I turn my flaws into a joke to make it easier for me to hear the flaw...I have no idea actually lol... I have been told many times that I should do comedy..to which I say, I am..everyday life! That comedy in itself! I think that having a sense of humor if majorly important...if you can't laugh then um...that sounds boring as hell! A sense of humor brings yourself and others joy, happiness and laughter....that is a awesome thing! I have WAY to many "you had to be there" moments..omg...falling on the ice...falling down..AND up stairs lol...tripping over nothing...saying stupid things...literally everyday I have one of those moments lol  |
| 26. We all know that the more you have of something the less you value it, but is there one thing you think you couldn't have too much of? Of course..several! Time, money, patience lol...but on a serious note... I can't ever have to much love in my life. The love of my kids is what keeps me going...the love from Steve is what makes me complete...the love of my friends is what gives me strength... Love is something that you can ever have too much of...not only receiving it BUT giving it... I cannot help but to have a big heart and I am always helping people any way I can...I have love in my heart to help others that is so strong...I could never have too much love to give OR receive. I think that love is what a person needs to make them stronger...to give love makes you feel good...to receive love makes you feel good...so how can you go wrong! Can't have to much love in this world...ESPECIALLY the way this crazy world is...We need more love..need to all grasp ahold of it and take it in, allow yourself to feel the power of emotions and feelings that come with love. The experiences are life changing and lessons....And never ever, take love for granted...because you never know when that person you love, will be gone. I think that we desire and need love, it makes us feel more whole. I also think that everyone deserves love in their lives...it is a wonderful thing! Love of ANY kind...is amazing. Life would be so very boring without love...and really...too much?? Nah...no way! MORE LOVE!! |
| 25. Share a moment in your life when you felt utterly helpless and what you learned from that situation. This one is a easy answer for me....I would have to say that when they took Raegan at 26 weeks by emergency c-section and everything started...I felt helpless. They wheeled me into the NICU after they got me all sewn up and out of recovery to see her...seeing this tiny 1 pound 10 ounce and 13 inch long baby hooked to all these machines and tubes were everywhere....She was so early her eyes were fused shut still and we had to be careful touching her because her skin was so think it could tear. I could not hold her for a few weeks. I had to sit by that bed with all those tubes and machines, and watch as my baby fought to live...for 10 months straight. Utterly, completely and 100% helpless feeling. So I decided that I could NOT lose it..I had to be strong for my baby..so I started researching everything that I could and I was right there at rounds with the doctors and I was a part of her team and the decisions made. I learned that while I felt helpless and that I couldn't help her, I could...by being strong and being informed and being there by her side every day, every step of the way. I learned that helpless feelings are scary and that there are ways to still be apart of things and that I could still help in my own motherly ways! She fought and has won...from where she was to now...Amazing! I have a miracle and she is my hero for sure! |
| 24. Who / what do you see when you look in the mirror? Ugh Ok so these prompts really get me thinking...deep thoughts. Well let's see...I have VERY low self esteem and confidence and I suffer from physical and mental health problems. That being said.....When I look in the mirror...it is never a good thing. I hear all the put downs I have been told over the years come flooding out when I gaze at myself. "Your ugly, fat, useless, worthless..blah blah" So honestly, looking in the mirror in NOT a favorite thing of mine to do at all. On my GOOD and UP days it can be tolerable....I can look in the mirror and feel okay...but on my BAD and DOWN days..oh geez...I might as well just be in a room with all the people who have said all these things to me, listening to each one put me down, time after time. By doing this blog and especially my Give It 100, I am slowly learning to try to silence those bad thoughts...I am slowly learning that I am NOT like the things they say..I am one of the good people! It is hard to reteach yourself to UNLEARN things...after so many times of hearing them and so many years of believing them...it is a lot of work to undo what has been done. BUT...I am trying and that is the first step! Right!! I am learning that these negative things that cause me to flinch and fear a mirror, are WRONG! I am not worthless or useless!! I have lots to offer in life and I am a kind, loving, honest, loyal, trusting, giving and generous person. I am not a bad person...the people that have made me believe these things my whole life though...whew..THEY are the BAD ones!! |
| 23. Do you think the world has become more dangerous or more kind? Why? I believe that the world has became a more dangerous place....It boils down to people and society. It is sad that the people who ARE kind are pushed aside because of the overwhelming bad people. Sad that bad outweighs good....breaking and entering, robbing, beating people, shooting, stabbing, the drug usage and overdoses...it is very very sad that these things over run the good things. I remember when I was a kid and never had to worry about the things I fear for my own kids these days. You cannot trust people it seems anymore because of all the bad things that you hear about and see that are out there. Danger is everywhere, of course, so why do people do things like what I mentioned to make things even more dangerous? It is not right that our children cannot walk outside without the fear of them being taken, shot or who knows what else! We only get one life...I believe that we should all make the most of it while we have it. Let the kindness show through and let the good take over the bad. Let us be able to know that once we are gone from here, our kids can carry on a safe and KIND life....It is OUR job to teach our kids to be kind to one another and know that as long as we teach them right, they will not contribute to the danger to this world! That is what us KIND people can do in hopes that someday the danger will be less. |
| 22. Have you ever considered going on a pilgrimage or similar? What would inspire you to go on one? So yea..I not only asked a friend about this but I looked it up as well and um...interesting... Simple Definition of pilgrimage : a journey to a holy place : a journey to a special or unusual place Yup..um ok...Well let's see here...I guess that MY thoughts and answer to this would be this: I am a person who believes in the spirit world, ghost, the "other side" and psychic ability....so I guess that I would like to be able to be taught by someone who has these things mastered...take me on a spiritual journey and teach me how to use whatever gifts I may have...how to accept things and open my mind to the things that I need to...answer all the questions that I have about life and about these things. I would like to take a journey through this spiritual world that people say is not real....I however think it is VERY real...It would be amazing to learn more about the things I believe in. I am sure this is WAY different of an answer then expected..but really now...ya never know WHAT to expect from ME! Ha HA |
| 21. Have you ever saved someone from some danger, or been saved? Write about it. Sure have! I was on the dance team my sophomore year of high school, we did the half time routines at the football games. We did dancing and flags. Well I have stress induced asthma as well as when I do A LOT of activity it can flare up. Well...Homecoming Night game we had a routine that was 5 dances, they all rolled into the next one...it was a longer routine then normal with no real stopping. We were into the 3rd part and we had these blue wood boxes in front of us that we were to cartwheel off of.I was feeling a little tight in my chest but nothing major..so I do my cartwheel and I did that just fine and BOOM...next thing I know I am coming to on the ground surrounded my emts, teammates, my coach and the dance teacher.... *NOTE~the dance teacher and I butted heads a lot!* I guess that I passed out and had a full fledged attack and stopped breathing...and my dance teacher gave me CPR...and saved me. Ironic huh...after that we never butted heads again! It was scary for sure...but once I started breathing again and came to, I was able to shake it off and get up and I was ok. Thanks to her! Crazy how things like that work out sometimes huh? To this day, if I ever go back to my hometown I can be know as "that girl that quit breathing at the homecoming game" Ha Ha...what a way to be remembered LoL |
| 20. Tell us about your first kiss. Describe the emotions you were feeling. Memories...lol..these prompts sure do get ya thinking huh? Ha Ha Well I was probably about 13 or so and I was in my first real boyfriend/girlfriend thing. We lived down the road from each other and went to school together. We would meet halfway between his place and mine and we would sit on these rocks and hold hand and be all giggly and flirty like you are at that age. We would sit there till we were required to be home for dinner or curfew. One evening about a week or so into us dating we were getting ready to leave and BOOM... Then he kissed me! I was shocked! I kissed him back...lol...It was scary and made me anxious But it was cool at the same time lol..it made me feel funny in my stomach at back then, I had no idea what that feeling meant lol It was a nice first kiss to be honest..sweet and gentle and not all sloppy and messy! Thank goodness ha ha I only dated him for a few months before we parted ways..but of course you will always remember our first everything...Never have seen him again all these years. Getting my first kiss made me feel pretty..that someone thought I was pretty and wanted to kiss me meant a lot to a kid like me. It opened up my eyes to romance, love, dating and all that fun stuff! I have learned A LOT of lessons since that first kiss... |
| 19. What is the most difficult choice you have ever had to make? Hmmm...I would have to say that would be when I divorced my ex-husband. We had been married for 11 years..since I was 18 years old..it was a rocky marriage, we argued a lot and had hardly any communication....when I had my youngest and she was special needs, we just pushed everything aside and focused on her. Lived a marriage of convenience....and set our marriage on a back burner, which took a huge toll on it. It was hard to decide to divorce for many reasons of course...but the biggest one was the decision for me to take a stand and get myself and my kids out of a marriage that was not a good one, for anyone involved. I just did NOT want my kids growing up thinking that a relationship was made up of arguing and living as roomates. That is not love. So I stood up...I filed for a divorce and for the first time ever in my life I moved into my own place with just me and the kids and that is how is has been for the past 8-9 years now! Moving out onto my own, knowing I was giving up the security of having a house and not having to worry about money..and to me that was the better choice! I learned how to make it by struggling and I still do, but I am a BETTER person for standing up and making that choice! I have raised the kids alone and I am so proud of the young adults they are becoming. I think that making that hard decision was the BEST decision for us. It showed me that was not how a marriage was supposed to be and I just would not stand for it!! It led me to met an amazing man that I am now engaged to who treats the kids and me wonderful!! |
| 18. What was the strangest dream you ever had? Did any part of it come true? What do you think the underlying meaning was? Ha Ha....This is (not surprisingly) going to be another one of my weird answers...LoL So I started having boyfriends when I was probably about 13 or so...no matter how long the relationship lasted, no matter how good or bad it was...I always had the same damn dream every time a relationship ended...I would dream that I was dressed in all white, in an all white room..EVERYTHING was white...and then whoever it was that I was in that relationship with, would appear with a huge knife and all I can see is the blood splattering on the white walls...bright red blood, dripping down the gleaming white walls....the knife being plunged into me over and over and the blood just keeps coating the white walls....and then..I wake up! It happened after the end of every relationship I ever had up till I got married...I honestly have no idea what it means...perhaps my sick and twisted way of closure for the relationship...who knows..it was rather strange though for sure...it was so vivid and bright....creepy kinda Lol Of course this dream never had any truth come to it...thankfully LoL... I would like to think that it was my minds way of closing that door maybe...showing me that each bad relationship left me with scars...I don't know..I just know that I am glad that I am happily engaged to an amazing man and that i do not have to worry about that dream anymore! |
