1. I moved to Paris at the age of 24 on my own. No friends, no job, no course enrolled on and no place to live. I stayed 6 years and climbed to the top of my career ladder there. Proud of that.

2. I am currently undertaking my (6 year, part-time) PhD as well as working full time and working my way through a Food and the Media Certificate. I am nothing, if not busy! As I am about to turn 40 this year, I think it’s quite the accomplishment to be starting new things..

3. After having really gotten into yoga in the past 4 years, I am really starting to learn to “let go” of the little things and try to look at the big picture. Not easy, getting there!

Thanks for a great giveaway!

1) After someone actually paid me for something I wrote, I finally let myself believe that I am a good writer.

2) I’ve finally learned to stop apologizing and being embarrassed over non-existent shortcomings.

3) I trained our Boxer to nudge chimes hanging on the door when he needs to go out. So now, when the dog rings the bell, I come runni- . . . wait a minute . . .

2)No matter what life throws my way (and my life wasn’t always easy, for instance my father left us when I was
was 13), I vow not to become bitter and hardened to life.

3) I’m very sensitive and empathetic. I’m usually the first to notice when someone is upset or needs help.

This was fun. I should do this more often
