What’s your favorite quote?

When I was choosing so many options came to mind that I really couldn’t pick just one – so here is my short list!
“What happens in life happens for you, not to you.” 
“The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.”
“Focus on what you can control, don’t waste your time or energy on what you cannot.” 
“If you had to eat an elephant you’d do it one bite at a time.” 

If you could have one super power what would it be?  

I’d LOVE to have the ability to touch books and absorb their knowledge – audible is close, but I’d love to be able to more-quickly learn so much information.

What’s the worst job you ever had? 

One summer, I worked in the lumber department at Lowes Home Improvement – I had to get the carts out of the parking lot in sweltering heat, water all of the outdoor plants, clean the women’s and men’s bathrooms and stock lumber. Needless to say it was a very hot, and sometimes smelly/gross summer!

What destinations top your travel wish list?  

This is tough for me right now because I’m about to embark on some amazing travels. I’ve never seen the Grand Canyon and would love to. I also intend to visit Hawaii, Santorini, and Dehli either as part of my travels or within the next three years.

What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen? 

Jackson Hole Wyoming and Yosemite National Park – I went with my family when I was in my early teens and vividly remember getting off the plane and feeling like I was in a real-life post card. The views of the mountains and the wildlife left me awestruck.

What’s your favorite dessert? 

There are very few desserts I don’t love, but anything in a chocolatey-moose form will absolutely win my heart over. 

If you could give all human beings one virtue, which would you choose? 

Love: for yourself, those around you, and what you do.

What’s the craziest or most dangerous thing you’ve ever done? 

I’m not really one for taking dangerous risks – but in terms of big changes that could seem crazy to others: quitting my seven-year career in staffing, which was very stable and lucrative, to become a life and career coach is pretty high up there. Also uprooting my life to go travel the world for 18 months is pretty crazy and exciting! 

What’s the secret to life? 

Direct your focus intentionally and put your energies where you can control those outcomes. What we focus upon we attract and create more of, so there’s no need to worry about what we cannot control. Oh, and meditation! It helps a wholeeee lot with focus.
