Better Seattle

I just got meme'd, compliments Rich Jacobson, and since this is the second time I've been meme'd, I thought I'd just do it...

Question 1: Who is my favorite Musical Artist?

This is tough to narrow down, I am very broad-spectrum!!! It'd have to be a three-way tie between Luciano Pavarotti, Bono of U2, and Peter Furler of Newsboys.

Question 2: Who is my favorite Artist?

William-Adolphe Bouguereau, hands down. 

Question 3: Who is My Favorite Blogger?

My favorite RE blogger is Jessica Horton! And I love Kevin Tomlinson for the pure entertainment factor. Both exceptional people, btw!

Question 4: If I could meet anyone (dead or alive), who would it be and what is interesting about them?

I would want to meet Jesus. I want to love others the way Jesus loved them.

Question 5: What did I want to be when I grew up?

A doctor, a pilot, an archeologist, and journalist, a New York Symphony violinist, and a shrink.

Question 6: What is the most interesting piece of Trivia that I know?

LOL that depends on how you define "trivia"! Actually, I can't think of anything... nothing seems like "trivia" to me! Rhodedendrums and Azaleas like shade. (Is it trivia if it has a practical application?)

Visceral fat is very dangerous, as it functions as its own organ in the body and correlates directly with life-threatening conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease... (Also  has practical application...marathon, anyone?)

Question 7: If you could live in any point of history when would it be and why?

Right now. I can't imagine a better time in history where individual people have been empowered to make the world a better place, caring for the disenfranschised and those in need. I am excited about the opportunity to live right now.

Question 8: What is the most interesting job you’ve ever had?

I thought of a few that matched perfectly for this, but then I opted to be non-traditional and speak about a "job" that's been close to my heart for over a year.... specifically, what it means for me to be a good steward of my life, my opportunities, my friendships, my money, etc. I've been taking steps to live more intentionally, with the choices I make, how I spend my money, even my entertainment... I can either live accidentally, or I can live on purpose. I used to feel powerless to change the world, until one day I realized that my powerlessnes came from the every day choices I made. Being a steward of my life is the most interesting "job" and meaningful one I could ever have.
