What was your first job? I was a Dairy Queen ice cream creationist! Who could ever turn down a job that offers ice-cream and toppings???
What is the best advice you have ever been given? Never to be too strong, stubborn, or proud to ask for help.
If you had a full day free with no commitments and nothing on your to do list, what would you do with it? I would paint (either one of the many white rooms in my house) or if I was feeling more creative to make my own masterpiece. When I needed a break… I would have a good old fashion tickle session with my kids. Nothing wraps up the day better than sweet smiles and the sounds of innocent giggles.
