Q: What’s the most daring thing
you’ve ever done?
A: I’m not a very daring person. I
have a fear of heights but I zip-lined

needles but I gave blood once. Not
daring to many people, but huge
accomplishments for me.

men my two boys are becoming and

He directs us to the right place at the
right time.

career for other people? Why?

Every thing I do is about helping
someone else. My fear of blood and

to help others, just in a different way.

A: Sit on my porch swing and enjoy
the view.

lot of illness. Breaks my heart every
time.
Q: What scares you?
A: The thought of being a
disappointment to someone.
Q: Do you like to plan things out in
detail or be spontaneous?
A: Plan things out in detail. I try to
be prepared for every scenario. My
husband makes fun of me. He thinks I
worry too much.
Q: If you could go back in history,
what era would you like to land in?
A: The Golden Era. The music, the
cars, the poodle skirts.
Q: Who in your life has influenced
you the most? How?
