When are you most happy? Whenever I am in the presence of my significant other, or early in the morning, when my boys clamor into my bed, with sleepy faces and quiet responses. When I can rest, and clear my mind. Feeling the ache of my feet. Whenever I think about how far I’ve come,…

Less Perfectionism
What could you do less of? The absolute need to attempt perfection when I know it’s more than just a falsehood, and has hurt me in the past. It’s unrealistic and pointless. I prefer the cycle of life to what I was taught – to walk, talk, dress and seem a certain way. The moon…
I Would Only Visit
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, and have found no reason to move. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Denver, and the whole of Colorado is beautiful. There was a mass exodus of people in my age group…

Old Money
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? I’m what’s known as old money, and wouldn’t be so if I touched it. This isn’t to brag, it’s to make a point. So the risk is doing necessary paperwork, and filing to have the money. And I’m not certain that’s…
Enough
What are the most important things needed to live a good life? Somewhere in our lives, we were taught or told what is deemed important to live life, to its fullest. As I have grown with age, I realize a lot of that is confused with the truth of reality. Money can buy everything except…
Freedom
What does freedom mean to you? Freedom is a state of mind, which is why so many who were under some type of regime for centuries felt like their hands were tied. When you oppress people who live off the land and understand nature, you take their freedom away from them. Freedom…is no excess. Self…
