Question #2

What would you do if you weren't afraid????

JMK's Response to Question #1

For the past three days, I've been contemplating what to write in response to Question #1. I've pictured myself writing a long, single response. In reality, there are many things I've learned over the past year that I'd like to share / take note of

1. If answering multiple choice works, no need to write an essay (see above)
2. Life is much more enjoyable, when you don't spend every evening/weekend working
3. Adding clove to blueberry preserves elevates it to kick-ass (thanks Kate Sandusky)
4. It is true - you will blink and your kids will be grown. When the hell did Evan get to be five?
5. While I believe in the power of forgiveness and that I know our parents did their best, I harbor resentment of the destruction their relationship caused many, many people
6. I do not know how to be nurtured. In realizing this, I've also realized that I want to surround myself with people who do not take this (thus me) for granted but those who will work with me so that I learn how.
7. Miracles can and do occur (condo selling / ghost incident)
8. Being in sibling relationships focused on supporting each other brings much more joy than being funny at the other's expense
9. Financial instability is a gut-wrenching fear that, when present, is always on the surface in everything you do
10. While having young kids is amazing - it is also fucking hard

Question #1

Think of this past year as a mother, wife, daughter or sister. What is a lesson you have learned the hard way that has impacted your outlook on life?

Keep it Going

This will only work if we keep it going....... Do we need a theme or a set of questions to get started?
