[...] Post some of the questions last week’s task (with a link to the originator of the questions, if possible). Encourage your readers to answer [...]

1. What is your life’s passion?
I have quite a few things that keep me passionate about life. My husband mainly- without him, I would be lost. He’s encouraging, sympathetic, understanding, and yet knows exactly how to motivate me and help me be a better person. Plus he’ll listen patiently while I babble incessantly about blogging.
Other lesser passions: Growing orchids, taking care of my pets, blogging, sailing and outdoor activities (camping, gardening, kayaking).

2. What / who inspires you?
My grandfather and grandmother. My granddad lived life to his fullest and is truly my hero. I think of him everyday. My grandmom- she’s the most amazing woman ever and has this incredible sixth sense about me. She’s over a thousand miles away yet calls me and *knows* when I’m sick, hurt, or under the weather.

3. If you will be given the absolute power to change one thing about the world, what would it be?
I’d require special licenses to drive the gas-guzzling SUV’s in America. If you don’t have a large family or a farm, you don’t qualify. And you’d have to learn to park them correctly, without lopping over into the other parking spaces and no driving like a bat-outta-hell just because you are bigger.

And now, for my questions…

1. Outside of the internet, do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
2. If you could go back in time to visit a certain period/decade/event, when and why would you go?
3. If you could have a super hero’s power, what would it be and how would you use it?

2. Who was the last person you hugged?
My hubby and my baby before I left for work.

3. How do you calm yourself down?
I stay silent, take a deep breath and replay peaceful images in my head. I usually visualize that wonderful sunrise I witnessed at the Mount Pinatubo crater years ago. It was so breathtaking.

My questions:
1. What is your life’s passion?
2. What / who inspires you?
3. If you will be given the absolute power to change one thing about the world, what would it be?

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe…

2. which blogger do you have a secret crush on?
If I’d say it, it wouldn’t be a secret crush anymore!

3. what has love taught you lately?
Love is never having to ask if your husband wants tea. Just give him a steaming mug already! Anticipate needs.

My questions:
1. If you were to face your 4-year-old self, what advice would you give him/her?
2. Who was the last person you hugged?
3. How do you calm yourself down?

2. What are you goals for 5 years from now?
– find the perfect man
– marry the perfect man
– buy the perfect car
– buy the perfect house where i can park the perfect car and where my perfect husband and i will raise our perfect kid

3. What 3 things would you take to a deserted island?

1. what song has meant the most to you?
2. which blogger do you have a secret crush on?
3. what has love taught you lately?

I’m new around here! I’ve enjoyed reading the past challenges.

1) What’s your all-time favourite movie and why? Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, it just reminds me that even painful experiences have led to who I have become as a person and there is a reason for going through them.
2) Who has inspired you the most in your lifetime and in what way? I would say my maternal grandmother … she made everyone feel so special and loved unconditionally. I always knew I had her support and I hope to be able to give that feeling to my future kids.

3) What’s your secret guilty pleasure that very few people know about? I am obsessed with lucking and often pluck out my leg hair mindlessly. My hubby hates it. I get so excited when I get a root. I have a problem … lol.

Christie

1. What book are you reading right now?
I usually have about 3 books on the go, but I’d have to say that the one in my bag is Kimberly Zant’s “Surrender”… another smutty book

2. Where do you sit when you’re reading?
I usually read in the car when I’m picking up the hubby from work, or in bed, just before sleep.

3. What other creative pursuits do you enjoy?
I enjoy knitting and crochet, and now that it’s spring, I love designing (and redesigning!) my front yard garden. Nothing like the feeling of good clean soil between the fingers!

Now the next person can answer Nicola’s questions!
