I was having a hard time manifesting a blog this week so drew from the archives. Here is a quick self interview from 2022. The answers still ring true today.
Mini Self-Interview
What do I love? Everything and everyone no exceptions. Since I know some love me and some don’t, I also live with healthy boundaries.
What do I hate? Nothing and no one. See boundaries statement above.
What do I dream of? the same things I dreamed of when I was younger… having love, kindness and creativity in my life. Also some life goals, some I might reach, others I might not. I hold dreams lightly and feel joy and gratitude whether they come true or not. I generally have what I need in the moment.
What I wish was different? Nothing. Sometimes my boat has gone down rivers I expected, other time it has gone down rivers I didn’t expect. I ended up in a good place anyway and can live with wisdom now I would not have otherwise had.
What challenges me? My own lack of understanding plus hurt (dishonest) people who send me through mazes or take advantage of my weaknesses. When my own understanding increases, I don’t get snared in mazes. So even though this statement appears to be about others, it is about developing awareness and consciousness in myself.
What encourages me? Spiritual development, prayer and meditation, love and kindness coming from myself to others or from others
What do I want? Hard to answer. I want a lot of the core things I have always wanted, but from a higher vantage point than I had 20 years ago. Age and wisdom does wonders for discernment. I also want to avoid the potholes I used to fall into each time I passed them.
What gives me hope? Love, compassion, young people
What are my political views? Side with those not sold out to money and who value life, human hearts and common sense. I try not to argue about politics. (Independent, closer to Democrat than Republican. Democratic Socialist friendly but not quite Democratic Socialist.)
