1. WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF PERFECT HAPPINESS?
Wow, what a loaded question!
I feel perfect happiness occurs in the moments you embrace all of the world with an Ah!!
I am perfectly happy walking terrier dogs early in the morning.
Seeing an amazing sun rise or set.
Watching my 12-year old granddaughter slowly becoming a young woman.
Listening to Christmas carolers during the winter season.
Perfect happiness is everywhere—you just have to breathe and be still in this magnificent world!
2. WHo DO YOU MOST ADMIRE?
I admire a local woman who carried twin boys for her sister who was unable to sustain a live birth. WOW—I was in awe, delighted, and amazed to watch the entire pregnancy from afar!
What a true gift!
3. WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE WRITERS?
My favorite writers are usually southern—not sure why. Perhaps I’m more southern than I am northern.
I remember being terrified, while reading Truman Capote IN COLD BLOOD during the summertime when I was in 8th grade. I would read on my parents’ front porch each day from 5:00 to 6:00 pm while the sun was still shining, waiting for supper. We lived on Main Street and 18-wheeler trucks were constantly changing gears at the 3-way stop, just a few feet from where I was reading. I was terrified! I have always held IN COLD BLOOD as the pinnacle of true terror.
4. WHO ARE YOUR HEROES IN REAL LIFE?
TEACHERS
5. WHAT DOES THE NEW HARMONY PROJECT MEAN TO YOU?
It is wonderful to have the conference here in New Harmony. The New Harmony Project is always special and fun because of all the different participants. New Harmony is like Forrest Gump’s bowl of chocolates—you never know what you’re going to get!
Happy New Year to all of you and your families!
