My Questions From Wendy at One Exceptional Life:

1. Why did you start blogging? I began blogging because my husband and I are new empty-nesters and I have always wanted to write. I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for a long time and finally dove in.

2. What inspires you? I am inspired by reading the Bible and by reading about other people who have encountered difficulties and have been victorious. I am also inspired by my family, coworkers and the people I encounter every day.

3. What is your favorite animal and why? I like giraffes, because they are tall, like me, and seem to have easy-going dispositions.

4. What is one interesting thing about you that people don’t know? I once met Maria von Trapp. It was back in the 80s, and she was signing books in the gift shop at her family home in Stowe, Vermont.

5. What is your favorite food? I love smoked oysters!

6. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? I’d be thrilled to visit Cornwall in the UK. I’ve been to other regions of the UK, and enjoyed visiting immensely, but Cornwall has always fascinated me.

7. What are your top 5 blogging necessities? My blogging necessities include my laptop, the camera on my phone, the Yoast SEO plugin on Bluehost, Canva, and other bloggers to provide inspiration and motivation.

8. If you won 1 million dollars, what would you do with it? I would give some away, I’d buy my husband a new truck, then I’d stash the rest in a few bank accounts while I prayed about what to do with the rest.

9. What are your goals for your blog? I would like to encourage others and be a bright spot in someone’s day.

10. What scares you the most? Uncertainty! I like to have a plan, and it’s tough for me to realize that I’m not the one in control.

11. What other talent or skill are you proud of, besides blogging? I know how to jump on a pogo stick!
