The Questions


1.) Which lesson learned stands out the most to you in your life?

That is easy.  The most important lesson I learned in my life is..."It's not about me".  Boy, when I learned that, everything I thought I knew...went down the drain.  What I knew about life, love, spirituality, people, and emotions are subjective.  What I don't know will make another world.  That is why I soak up knowledge, cultures, and any information I can use to make me a better and more useful person.



2.) Which is more important: Being kind or being honest?

Even though I know being honest is very important, and required of us, being kind weighs in more with me. It falls slightly under mercy and grace.  You can gain a friend or an ally by being kind quicker than being honest.  If it's possible to be both, hey, that's a plus!  I try to blend a little of both in when possible.....



3.) What would you consider to be your biggest personality flaw?

My biggest flaw...hmmm.  Probably my self-esteem.  I am my worst critic, and I tend to shy away from being completely open one on one.  To say where it came from, would be for me to go back in time, to my childhood.  But, I am a work in progress.....



4.) Can you describe a time when you were wrongfully discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc?

I think the first thing that comes to mind is when I was outed on my job because I was dating a woman, and some of my friends acted like I had the cooties.  Amazingly I did not lose the job, but I lost some of the friends who I thought loved me anyway.  They said they loved me, but couldn't accept my choice to love, and live with a woman.  So they drifted away.



5.) What do you consider to be your best personality trait?

My best personality trait is my genuine love for people, for how it is easy to like the differences in people...until they show me that our personalities can't mix.  Not many people I find that I don't like.  I am very forgiving, and I try to not lose those close to me.  yep, I'm that friend to the end.....
