ask me mondays II...

I think Ask Me Mondays is great to do once a month. So here I am, for the second round.

1.) “We all have those things we really want to tell, but won’t until someone asks, what is the one thing you have been dying for one of us to ask?” - Asked by Brian Miller. There isn’t really one thing. I enjoy sharing my life (obviously) so I’m fascinated by what people are interested in about it. It gives me perspective on myself and my blog.

2.) “Have you thought of or do you teach, talk on or write books on any of the spiritual happenings in your life?” – Asked by Steven Anthony
I haven’t yet but I’m sure this is in my future. My blog is paving the way. It is helping me define myself and by being asked questions I can hone what is helpful to people and what is not. My blog is an important stepping stone on my path.

3.) “Which famous person that you’ve met was the nicest to you? And which was the most obnoxious?” -Asked by Cairo Type
I’m going to assume you mean after they were famous. I recently met Laura Linney and she was wonderful, completely unaffected by her celebrity. I also love Leland Orser, one of Goom’s soccer coaches. He is a great coach and has really helped Goom get into the game without judgment. Terrence Howard was also amazing. He made me feel like I was the only woman in the world…big flirt. The most obnoxious was Denzel Washington (believe it or not) but he could have been having a bad night. I met him eleven years ago. His best friend was wonderful!

4.) “How about a story about Julian Sands?” – Asked by Nessa
Wonderful question. I’m going to write a post about Julian Sands tomorrow. The story is worthy of its own post.

5.) “Besides Brendan Fraser, how many other celebrities have you met?” –Asked by Otin.
To be honest, too many to count; I’ve been blessed with very successful friends. I am two degrees of separation away from anyone in this town. But celebrities are weary of people. They don’t like to be used and they don’t let you in until they are certain you are interested in them and not their celebrity. People think it would be great to be famous but it is not. It is a DRAG. When I’m with friends who are recognizable, they are stared at and approached without regard to their personal space.

6.) “If you could escape from any one feature of your life what would it be?” – Asked by Steven
I would escape from the relationship I’m forced to have with my baby-daddy. But he is there for a reason so obviously I have lessons to learn.

7.) “How old were you when you lost your virginity and what were the circumstances?” – Asked by Alix (a nice bold question)
Believe it or not I’m going to tie my answer in with my Julian Sands story.

8.) “How many lies do you speak per day?” – Asked by Shri Ramesh
I never lie. I don’t know how.

9.) “What was the reason behind you starting this blog?” – Asked by Protégé
I started this blog two years ago to work on my prose writing. Now I see it as a way to share my life and perhaps help others by doing so. (And yes, the picture was of me at six.)

10.) “Do you believe in reincarnation? How did you come to that conclusion?” – Asked by Menopausal New Mom
I definitely believe in reincarnation. It’s something I’ve always known to be true but it helps when you are told from the other side that what they miss most about being embodied is living through the senses. I also think my spirit loves being here in this body and that is why I am healthy, and eat good food, and drink good wine, and I love to kiss and make love. I am very physical because I know my time here is fleeting.

11.) “How long have you been working on your memoir?” Asked by Susan R. Mills
For two months…not very long.

12.) “What has been your biggest regret in life?” –Asked by The Watcher
I’m fortunate to say, I don’t have one. When I was very young I committed to living a life without regret. I’ve always followed my heart and done what I’ve wanted to do.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to link to all your wonderful blogs this time. It was either spend an hour linking or reading you blogs and I chose to read.
