Fabulous Fun Friday – June 3
It’s Friday and I have a new blog space on my website called Fabulous Fun Friday!
Every Friday, I am going to try to post fun stuff, different stuff, articles, interviews with other women, advice from other women, recipes, how to stuff, best apps, TED talks, helpful hints, books to gets, other great blog posts, great movies, and all things chocolate. So why am I doing this? Well, I am a new author and I need followers and I am a passionate woman about a lot of things nothing more than Jesus Christ but I want to use a day on my blog for you the reader to get to know me as an author and as a person.
I also want to help other women who have message they want to get out or heart they want to share or their passion.
So to kick off the first Fabulous Fun Friday is a survey about me so you can get to know me better. How did I come about this… well if you know me, as some of my friends do, they know I am totally spontaneous and funny but you have to get to know me. But, if you make me angry, I am angry until God deal with me…. but I am learning to just let stuff go and stay in process. See I am not perfect.
So since I am so spontaneous I was actually looking for something else to blog and came across this idea and said hey what the heck. Go for it? My website my blog. But I did post on my Facebook page click here that I am looking for women to interview you about your passions for other women, purpose, goals, a message you have that you want to get out. (Not a video blog, I haven’t gotten that techie yet.) Just a question and answer type interview. So check out my request here if you are interested.
Let’s get to know me better and I can get to know you better!!!!
1. What time do I get up in the morning? That is hard to answer. I am 51 years old and menopause is creeping around so I am not sleeping well and it varies. I do not work outside the home and I homeschool my son. So let’s just say my goal is to get up at 6 am and have my own time and organize and set my day but that doesn’t happen and since I am having insomnia and up late working on books and writing so I may get up more like 7 or 730am which is just too late for me. I have been fighting this time struggle for months. Suggestions??
2. What is my greatest passion? My greatest passion is to instill integrity, discipline and uncompromising spirit within women. I hate when we as women compromise and hurt and live a life lower than Jesus wanted for them to live. My passion is to teach, talk and write books. I love it could do it and not get paid but getting paid sure helps. LOL.
3. What would I like to be doing right now and get paid for it? I would love to be a pastors wife, writing books making more money than I am right now, selling quilts on the side and being a prayer counsellor. If I could start that today somewhere I would be over the moon.
4. What is a secret desire that no one probably knows about you? I could be a farmer and live on a farm. I love that kind of life. People that know me are like WHAT!!!! yes it’s true. I like cows and chickens and pigs and the open fields.
5. What was the last film I saw at the cinema? Oh, let’s see I think it was the last Star Wars movie the new one that came out in 2016.
6. What is my favorite TV show? I really don’t have one. I am not that much into TV. Maybe the Christmas shows on Hallmark but that is iffy.
7. If I could live anywhere in the world where would it be? In Connecticut or New Hampshire, or upstate New York on a quiet street in a semi small town and be at peace writing books in my office with a few friends near by.
8. What did I have for breakfast? I usually don’t eat breakfast. I drink a green power food drink called Barley Max and Beet Max and may have a banana. Water. But when I do, I love bacon, hashbrowns, pancakes, toast, 2 eggs over medium, jelly, coffee and juice.
9. Who has been the greatest influence in my life? There is a saying look at your friends I will show you your future or show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. I totally believe that. The Holy Spirit is my biggest and greatest influence. My spiritual mom, Doris is the next greatest influence in my life. This last person is a group of people. It is all the sandpaper people in my life. I have to say thank you for being sandpaper and playing your part in the process of me becoming who I am today. You know, we all have them. Those that just rub us the wrong way, the unsupportive, the liars, those that abandoned you, jealous, back stabbing, users, haters, all those people. Be glad for them in your life, if you let them do their work and you stay in process you will be better for it. People just show you who they are the first time, believe them.
