1] Do you have any favorite quotations? (Please share them with us if you’d like.
I do have lots – I don’t know if I have a favorite. I keep a quote journal. It’s filled with tons of quotes, but they aren’t in any order.

2] What are some of the best words of wisdom that you’ve ever been given? Who gave them to you, and when?
This may sound odd, but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten words of wisdom from anyone. I’m thinking hard, but I can’t think of anything.

3] Do you usually trust your own intuition on most things? Why/why not?
Yes, absolutely. For some reason I’ve always done the right thing when I follow my heart. I always run things by Mark, but we’re usually on the same page.

4] Is there anyone in your life who you feel is exceptionally wise? Who, and how did you meet this person?
Great question! To me, wise kind of means that this person has an old soul. I don’t necessarily think it’s the person that can rattle off statistics left and right. My dad is wise. There was this women who used to be one my co-workers that I considered wise. I do think most people would’ve called her ditzy, but she was such a good listener and seemed to know more than everyone thought she did. I think that’s it. Because of my definition of wise, I guess I leave out lots of people. But those two people are wise in my world.

5] Are there any philosophies, sayings, or words of wisdom that you try to live by? If so, what are they?
I guess two things. One, do not judge people. I accept everyone! It’s not my job to judge, and I have a hard time dealing with judgmental people. The other one is to just do it. I don’t wanna sound like Nike, but I do think people think things through so much, or they are too concerned what others will think. I think we need to try anything and everything we want to – life is too short.

Great questions!
