I would like to be a better listener, or rather, a retainer of the information I have heard. I can have a conversation with someone and forget what we talked about ten minutes later, whereas, some people can hear something once and remember it for a lifetime.
Too many to really count. A lot.
228. What’s the best decision you’ve ever made?
Years ago I went on a hunt to find my passion. I was trying just about everything because I knew that there would be one thing that I loved so much that I would want to do it for the rest of my life. During the search I realized that the hunt was my passion. I became addicted to having new experiences and this became my passion.
229. What’s your favorite true story that you enjoy sharing with others?
Since my blog is all about new experiences and adventures, I have many. But, some of my favorites are swimming with stingrays, rappelling into a cave and eating lambs brain on my anniversary.
230. Right now, at this moment, what do you want most?
At this moment, I want to feel content with where I am in life and the direction it is taking. Also, to concentrate on being happy in the present moment, forgetting about the past and not fretting over the future. That's a lot to tackle!
231. What are you waiting for? How are you writing your life’s story?
Though I am waiting to be out of debt, for my blog to be a huge success and to have more freedom to create at my restaurant, I am always actively writing my life's story. I am consistently setting baby goals in order to achieve the aforementioned.
232. What makes love last?
Forgiveness, commitment and communication
233. What good comes from suffering?
There is always a lesson to learn through suffering. Most of my suffering has made me stronger in order to deal with the situation when and if it should happen again.
234. What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned in the last year?
That trusting yourself is more important than trusting anyone else.
235. Based on you current daily actions and routines, where would you expect to be in five years?
Still owning Sugo Trattoria, but with more freedom to travel, having a line of some type of food product (& a cookbook), continued growth with my blog, dozens of checks off my bucket list and being paid to write about food, travel & new experiences.

226. What would you like to change (about yourself)?
I wouldn’t want to change anything, I would rather ADD some things… Like I would like to add the ability to read minds! just kidding… Seriously, I would like to have no fear of speaking in public, and I wish I could verbalize myself the instant I think of a good quippy remark, versus a half hour later when I play it back in my head and saying EXACTLY what I thought I should have said.
227. How many people do you love?
Too many to really count. A lot. (ditto)
228. What’s the best decision you’ve ever made?
decided to never give on anything
229. What’s your favorite true story that you enjoy sharing with others?
Lambs brains? YIKES! tasted like what? ……… About how I met my hunny. He gets embarrassed and thinks its silly that I like telling people (he used a super cheesy line) but it totally worked! Because We are still together after all these years.
230. Right now, at this moment, what do you want most?
To win the lottery, so I can help my family, and make them comfortable where they never have to work again to make a living,
231. What are you waiting for? How are you writing your life’s story? I’m happy with my life right now and what I do to paint it’s pages. This part of my story is an unfolding masterpiece, and so far it’s beautiful.
232. What makes love last?
Communication, and trust, and being friends before anything else. You can’t be lovey dovey all the time. You have to be able to have debates to express your opinions, no matter how different. You have to laugh together at the silliness of life, and you have to cry together at the sad parts. Above all else, you have to listen to each other.
233. What good comes from suffering?
It’s makes us stronger.
234. What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned in the last year?
Never let anyone tell me that I cannot do something. But don’t prove them otherwise, do it for myself.
235. Based on you current daily actions and routines, where would you expect to be in five years?
(My uncle has a series of books, Sonoma Country Travel Guides, and one is called Sonoma Picnic. You should check them out!) In 5 years, I expect to be wealthy, healthy, and happy

I would definitely not want to read minds…I would end up mad all the time!
Aren’t you going to share the cheesy line your husband used? Please.
Love this line: You have to laugh together at the silliness of life, and you have to cry together at the sad parts.
I’ll definitely check out the travel guides! That’s really cool.
