...and now for the answers
(to the 'soul mate' questions - well *MY* answers):
Question #1: “If your company gave one-year paid sabbaticals, what would you do for that year?”
PAID?? Well first of all I'd be double checking with HR on that one....
Mainly I'd travel - probably to India and definitely the home of my ancestors - but it would not be a mere 'tourist extravaganza' it would be filled with learning and adventure. I would also do volunteer work and teach Yoga if I could to inner city kids.
Question #2: “Will you share an embarrassing moment with me?”
Anyone who really knows me knows the answer to this - it's a resounding yes - I can be rather self-depreciating. Besides I find humour in these situations. LOL - it can be blog fodder <*giggles*>
Question #3: “If your house were on fire, what’s the one thing you’d make sure to save?”
You mean after making sure everyone, including my animals made it out alive? I'd probably save photos, or the things I want to pass onto my children - anything belonging to my parents (cause they are gone now) - and some of my writings and those from my love. So yeah probably a lot of sentimental stuff - because all the other stuff is replaceable and just well...'stuff'.
Question #4: “What’s the biggest misperception people have about you?”
Hmmm this one is tough - I've been told a lot about myself from friends. Probably that I am outgoing - I may appear to be that on the surface - but I can actually be quite shy under certain circumstances.
Question #5: “What’s the one life experience you want a do-over on?”
I would have stuck it out under my dad's roof a little longer and gone on to college instead of going off to 'find myself', traveling etc. I think my life and by extension my children's' lives would have been better in some ways had I done that.
But I truly believe there are no 'do-overs' in life - we are who we are; shaped by our experiences, tragedies, accomplishments, adventures for good and for bad. I do know that I've been blessed with a second chance at having happier/'forever' relationships with some people lately and I don't take that for granted at all.
