My responses to Morning Coffee Bliss’s thought provoking questions:

1. If you had 3 wishes, what would they be?

I would wish to be generally more present and mindful, that those I love could be happy and contented for the rest of their lives and that I could cook roast potatoes as good as my Grandma did.

2. Out of all of the things you’ve done, what are you most proud of?

Getting my degree

3. What is your favorite childhood memory?

Family Sunday lunches at Grandma and Grandad’s house

4. If you could accomplish only one more thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

To write a book that creates positive energy and makes people feel good.

5. Who do you admire the most and why?

My Grandma – she died from cancer in January.  She was the most optimistic and positive person I have ever met.  She went to university to do a degree in art at the age of 70 and continuously put the rest of us to shame with her seemingly boundless enthusiasm for life.

6. What is your favorite movie and why?

I love Coyote Ugly – because it creates positive energy and because it tells the story of someone taking positive action to achieve their dream

7. What is your favorite book and why?

My favourite book is Chloe by Freya North.  I love all Freya North’s books but Chloe tells the story of a woman who follows her late Godmother’s posthumous instructions (left by letter with various friends across the UK) in order to gain a sense of self.  It’s my favourite because I can identify with Chloe in her need to figure out who she is and what she wants to do with her life and because it makes me want to visit the places she goes to.

8. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

I have not been abroad since I was a very small child.  Family holidays were almost always to South Wales.  I would love to do a tour of the British coastline.  Places on my want to travel to list include North Wales, Ireland, Devon and Cornwall.  I can cross Scotland off my list as I went there last month but would love to go back.

9. Name three things you like about yourself?

• my green eyes
• my ability to enjoy simple things
• the fact that I am almost always early for everything

10. If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your younger self?

Don’t be so hard on yourself.

11. What do you enjoy the most about blogging?

I love the opportunity to share things that I am learning on my self-discovery journey with others and maybe help them, in the way that others’ blogs help me.  I also like the fact that it gives me a level of accountability.
