WHY DID YOU START A BLOG IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Writing is my passion and I want to share my sense of humor, my perspective and my inspiration with the world. Plus, my life is chock full of good material… just sayin…
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BOOK?
Anything by Jodi Picoult. I love how she flips the perspective on things. Jodi Picoult is the author of My Sister’s Keeper, which became a movie. Maybe you’ve seen it. She wrote a book called Nineteen Minutes. The book recounts a story of a school shooting. The mother in the story shows up at her son’s school, only to find that her son is the shooter. Through flipping the perspective, Jodi Picoult teaches non-judgement and “For the grace of God, there go I.” It’s a message that I live by and one that we all have to keep in mind when we find ourselves falling into the trap of passing judgement.
WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE THE MOST?
The thing that I dislike the most is being lied to! Give me your truth and I’ll deal with it… lie to me and you will shatter my trust forever. A close second is injustice. Injustice fuels my passion and my voice. I am fearless to stand up for a cause that I believe in.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD AT THE MALL?
I hate the mall and I can count on one hand how many times I’ve been to the mall in the past three years. I don’t feed into the “Keep up with the Jones'” mentality or feel the need to buy something because it is trendy, popular or a status symbol. I’m not connecting to material things and I don’t go to the mall so I don’t eat there. Enough said.
We all know that your favorite food is Corn in a Cup! Not to eat, but to make fun of in the most entertaining way! See? This is only one of the reasons I nominated you!

Actually, John eats corn on the cob with a fork. True story. I find this strange. Maybe different is okay…and good…or not.
My favorite corn quote is this: My ex-husband can turn a kernel of truth into a corn field of bullshit.
I’ve had to live it and I still do.
One day I’ll turn it all into corn meal. Until then, I’ll smother it in butter. It’s the best that I’ve got, at this point, so I’ll just run with that.
What’s a girl to do?
