1. Do You see Yourself as an Introvert OR Extrovert and Why?
More and more I see myself as introvert. I was once outgoing and completely opposite of the way I am now, but parenthood and marriage have changed this.
2. What is Your Dream occupation
and Why that choice?
My dream occupation is to be a stay at home mother. It keeps me occupied all the time and to see the smiles on my two wonderful boys faces is worth more than money could ever buy.
3. Imagine You were given a Key
to ANY place Imaginable...
Where would You go and Why that place?
If I were given a key to anywhere it would be to my husbands heart. The one he has locked away for so long I am not sure he knows how to open the door.
4. What Age do You wish You could be and Why?
The age that you are old enough to know better but still young enough not to care.
5. Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?
Why or Why not...
Probably not. It has been years since I was in school and they are there everyday and learning new things everyday.
6. How would You Describe Yourself to a Blind Child?
I dont describe. It is hard to describe something to a child that is blind. The simply feel. Which is what I would have them do. Feel my face, tell me what you see.
7. Would You Donate Your time in a Soup Kitchen
for the Homeless?
Why or Why not...
I spend time in a Soup Kitchen more often then most. I know what it is like to be down and out. It's not just the food that the homeless come to the kitchen for. It is to be treated kindly and with respect.
8. If Given 7 Words to say...
What would You tell Charles Manson?
Everything comes back to you full circle.
9. What form of Punishment would You "Feel"
is Appropriate for a Pedophile?
What I feel is appropriate punishment for a pedophile is technically considered torture, but includes tiny cuts over the entire body in which you would bleed out over time. Or by some insane and completely not needed miracle you survive, you would have no feeling to your muscles unless it was extreme pain.
10. In ONE sentence:
If Given Opportunity to speak...
What would You say to Adolf Hitler?
How self loathing of a genius mind can turn into genocide of a wonderful race is truly sad and completley damnable.
11. If a 7 Year Old Rape Victim asked You:
Why she was hurt...
What would You say to her?
Sometimes it isn't what you say that matters, more that you were there to show there are still good people in the world.
12. How would it make You "Feel"
if another Writer told You
Your Poem
was the Worst he or she has ever read?
I would take it in stride. I have been told this before and all I consider it as is constructive criticism that means I must work harder next time.
13. In 7 Words...
Please Complete this Sentence:
You make me...
completely enamored and insane all at once.
14. Imagine You have a cure for a Rare Terminal Illness-
Only a Single dose left...
but have to decide whether to give LAST drop
to a total Stranger [Age 33]
OR
save it for Yourself
because coincidentally You had the same Rare Illness.
What would be Your Decision and Why?
I would give the LAST drop to the complete stranger. Who knows what the beings above have planned for this person. Who am I to stand in the way of life.
15. Please Describe a Moment
You felt Helpless to Help another?
When my husband and I found out he had a daughter from a previous relationship at the same time we found out she was 5 yrs old and died in a fire. I was so lost and still have no idea what to say to my husband.
16. If You Witnessed a Pregnant Woman smoking-
How would that make You "Feel"?
I would feel that hopefully they were in the same situation I was and by my doctors orders were not allowed to change anything in fear I would lose my baby due to the side effects of going through withdrawels.
17. How much is Your Time worth?
Everything and nothing all at the same time.
18. Imagine a Stranger next to You shouting...
Hail Hitler!!!
Please Describe Your Emotions?
Anger. Confusion of why someone would be so cruel. Curiosity as to why they would think that way.
19. If You heard a Stranger use a Racial slur
as You walked by...
How would You react?
Unfortunately like 90 percent of the world today, just walk by and pretend nothing happened to avoid confrontation.
20. In ONE Sentence-
Please share what brought a smile to Your face today?
My five month old son decided that he would be exceptionally loud today and start yelling at the ceiling fan. When I asked it what he was doing he simply turned and started laughing at me. I couldn't help but to laugh and wonder what secret he had of the fan.
21. Imagine being told by a Stranger
that ALL Non-White and anyone Jewish
must be Exterminated...
How would You respond?
More than likely with anger. Do not think that because I try and avoid confrontation that I will not have a confrontational argument when it is something that has severe meaning in my life. If you think that ALL non-white and anyone Jewish should be extermintaed, then you should severely read up on you American Heritage and you will find that NO ONE In America Is truly ALL WHITE. There is Native American In all Races that were born in America. THe only condition to that is if your family did not come from America. And then you are still wrong. It is not your place to judge who is right and who is wrong, or who should die and who should live.
22. What is the WORST Advice anyone has ever Given You?
When I was told to give up when my marriage started going through a rough patch. If I had done that I would have missed out on so much love and happiness and my son having his father by his side everyday.
23. What is Your Favorite Word and Why?
My favorite word is LOVE. Love is the most meaningful word in the english language, in any language. Love for ones Family, friends, Counntry, pets. Love is for whatever matters most to you. Whether it be Chocolate Ice Cream or that beautiful newborn by your side. Love is POWERFULL

How could someone do this to someone. Why would this happen. What did this person do to deserve this. I can only hope this person is being dug out and not put in.
25. Imagine a Hate Crime committed against
someone You know-
How would that make You "Feel"?
Hurt. It would make me feel hurt and angry and lose hope in humanity. Not everyone in this world can truly be so mean.
26. In 33 Words or Less-
What is ONE pet pieve You have and Why?
I DESPISE it when someone Hangs-Up on me. It really upsets me. Probably because I cannot get the last word in but my husband does it solely because he knows I cannot stand it.
27. Where would You direct a Stranger
who wishes to see the most Magical Place on Earth?
Look into a childs eyes. The only place that hasnt been completely corrupted by meaningless hatred.
28. What brings Tears to Your eyes?
Seeing people hurt, knowing there is nothing I can do to save some people. Hearing of a child being caught in adult problems and not surviving the endeavor.
29. If You Witnessed a young Child
digging in a trash dumpster...
How would that make You "Feel"?
Sad, I would feel responsible for that child. I would have to make sure they had something to eat somewhere warm to stay and warm clothes. If I couldnt find a place...My place is just as good.

I do believe in Angels. I see Angels everyday. Children are Angels, constantly reminding us of the wondrous things imagination brings. Things we have long since forgotten. Children don't believe whether or not there are Angels. They KNOW.

and a feather to stir Your thoughts
Now let's begin:
You took each Question and brought forth much for the Mind to feast upon~
Bravo!!
When I digest words written, images come through that grab hard
and I will give to You what I see
As Your Ink Spilled: I like to mention if I notice spelling hiccups...
I like to point them out because when I hiccup...I sure like to know
and this is an anonymous contest so this is the only way to make mention

?4: Adore this answer and nudged to give You a Bravo!
also a
?6: It appears there is not an apostrophe in ...I dont...
Some people don't use them while others do- I look for Consistency~
and as long as the word does not mean another word in the Dictionary
that is vastly different then the intended meaning~it does not grab my attention~
Now I notice in another answer ?11- there is an apostrophe~
I Encourage using one or the other to keep it Consistent so it does not distrupt
the Energy Flow~
Wanted to forward that for Your review

by dictionary standards~

While reading I kept being shown this mist overhead as if there
was a Presence watching over a little one~ Feels like a Grandmotherly
Energy and I am shown this bright Light~ and Energetic smile~
A feeling of so much Love to go around
Also I make mention of words not be like the punctuation or grammar
police but because I get nudged to look at it or drawn to the word for
some reason~ the Energy was affected somehow~ I base my final
placement on Flow-Energy-Consistency also how the words Balance
with Energy- along with Emotions felt~ so Consistency plays a big part
which helps me see things a lot clearer~
After reading Your answers~ I am shown hands in what appears to be in
either paint or mud~ some type of substance and moving it around
as if preparing to write or do something with this
As if laying down a
foundation- I kept getting phrase: There is much for You to do~
and shown for some reason...what appears to be tablets...I am shown the Ten Commandments~ Whether Metaphor or literal
but not feeling as if You need to abide by these (reason they are being shown now) but like feeling as if it is written~ there is much for You to do
Share what Gifts You have inside sorta thing
Just passing on what I am seeing
As if by Divine Intervention~ it is written there are plans for You
if that makes sense
I am getting phrase: Each day is a new beginning
to Live~
And also phrase: Live it Well

..However that is to be Interpreted
Love the direction You took with these Questions
Hopefully my comment to Your write makes sense
Powerful Answers and Message You have brought forth

These words grabbed and pulled~
I would give the LAST drop to the complete stranger.
Who knows what the beings above have planned for this person.
Who am I to stand in the way of life.
Vivid Imagery poured in these lines...
Thank You for sharing Your Voice spoken from deep within
Hope You enjoyed answering each Question
also best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
Many blessings too

with much love and light~ Desire~*~
