Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously, and doesn't take offence to lots of things.  It also helps if that person can carry a decent conversation and ask interesting questions give interesting information.  I find it so annoying and draining when people only talk about themselves or say things that don't really have an relevance. 

Someone who smiles a lot and has a good sense of humor, and who really LISTENS to the people with whom they are talking. 

Since I feel like I've been moving around so much this year, I don't really know what to call "home".  I guess Alaska would be my home, as I've been living here for so long.  I know one major thing I would miss if I moved away, would be my awesome boyfriend, Michael.  I know I wouldn't stay here long if he weren't here; that scares me sometimes- knowing that he is a big anchor and reason to stay here.  I wonder if that's a bad thing.  He adds so much laughter, love, and support, that it really doesn't matter where we are. 

Things in Alaska I would miss, would be the remoteness of the place- I love knowing I can drive 100 miles in any direction and know I would be in relative wilderness with no one to tell me I'm on private property.  I would also miss the 24/7 sunlit summers. 

My weight.  I am keeping my weight off by doing daily exercise and being in the present when I eat.  Actually, I'm in the present with a lot of things now, which i love!  I used to rush about things, not really tasting, hearing, or appreciating what I was experiencing.  Now, when i eat, I am fully there in the moment, tasting every part of the food in my mouth.  When I shower, I'm fully basking in the warmth that's washing over me.  I love being effortlessly in the present!

Ha!  I tend to pause & reflect a little too much actually.  If I'm not in the middle of work or something that demands my immediate attention, I'll just break away mentally and just kind of look at myself and everything that's going on around me.  I like to reflect while I'm walking or exercising, or when I'm chanting though; that way, my body is busy doing something physical, so i don't feel too antsy if I'm reflecting on something upsetting.

Suffering reminds us to enjoy and savour the good feelings in life.  When one suffers, it also serves as a reminder not to make others endure suffering. 

Jewish- Jewish people seem to be heavily connected and really stick to and support each other, and I really admire that.  And I like the fact that they don't push their religion on everyone else, like Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons.  I know this may sound stereotypical or prejudice or whatever, but I really notice how Jews, because of their tight network, really thrive financially and have lots of "connections".  I can definitely see where that adds to the debate of whether Judaism is just a religion versus an ethnic group.  I wish my culturual groups were more connected like the Jewish community. 

I'm almost afraid to even state aloud what my recent relationship with money has been, for fear that, I don't know, it will get worse.  Up until now, my relationship with money has been, how should I say it-very limited.  I was stuck in that WORK HARD money blue print, and, after attending a Millionaire Mind Workshop 4 years ago, I learned that WORKING SMART is more effective.  Only problem so far, has been implementing that and actually BELIEVING that I deserve and am capable of making more money than I have been. 

I would say that my relationship with money has been getting better, as I have been believing in myself and telling myself that I deserve abundance in all forms.  I recently won some big scholarships to help pay for school, and I intend to win LOTS more, as well as educate myself on running a business and acquiring a job that I love and pays me for my worth. 

Our relationship is getting better and better, but like any relationship, I worry and wonder whether I'm taking the right steps.

I suppose I have been naive about the whole "life after high school".  All my life, I've just gone through the motions while in school, because that's the main message/advice everyone keeps houding you about: STAY IN SCHOOL!  So, it was easy to take the "right" path.  I've always done what others or the mass majority tell me is the right road to take.  But after high school, so many other options open up at your feet, and I just got scared of choosing any one of them, for fear of making the "wrong" selection.  I've only just started to realize that one never really "fails" or "wins"; unforeseen or unwanted outcomes may arise, but experience is a great teacher. 

That's another thing I've been naive about- things being either right or wrong. I've realized that very few things are that way. 

Prayer is hoping or putting forth energy for specific things in one's own or other's lives.  Prayer can be extremely powerful when faith is the foundation of the person praying; not faith in a god necessarily, but faith in your own ability to make a significant change by praying. 

For me, I chant, which I think is just another form a prayer.  I have trouble doing the conventional prayer, as my mind wanders and I get bored and lost in the silence, so it helps to chant a mantra that keeps my mind on track.  Also, I think chanting can be meditative, which is different from praying.  I once heard that, "praying is talking to god, while meditation is listening", and I really believe that.  I think that when one meditates, one reflects and is receptive to the universe's positive & healing forces.  Where as when one prays, it's all about voicing their own wants, hopes, & desires.

I am flattered and gladly accept anyone's prayers/good wishes/chanting.  The only thing I get annoyed about, is when self-righteous, religious brain-washed people tell me that they will "pray for me", when really they mean that they hope I follow THEIR religious path and that I find the errors of my heathen ways.  Get down from your pedastal, people; we're all on the same path. 

I try to treat fear as a motivation to go full steam ahead.  Or, I grab fear and examine it and see exactly WHY it's there, and usually when I do some quick introspection, I realize that my fear stems from, for a lack of a better word, silly reasons, and I quickly overcome that fear.

But of course, that doesn't always work out.  I find that, with matters involving money, I tend to want to run away and bury my head in the sand.  I'm quickly getting over any social fears of embarrasing myself. 

Day by day, I'm getting over all my fears, and often times I wish I didn't have any fear, but I have a feeling that fearing is a human aspect that we will always possess.  How we deal with and treat fear, is what determines how smoothly and boldly we function in life.

When I'm walking along the beach.  Something about being close to the water-an ocean is even better-gives me an unexplainable calmness, and I feel so liberated.  Probably me being a Pisces is a big reason for this, but possibly the fact that both parents grew up on islands, and i was born on one. 

How to be a money-making machine!  I want to know and understand all aspects of how to make, manage, invest & grow money.  I then want to pass this precious knowledge onto my family and friends and others who will make a positive impact on the world.

This is something I've pondered every once in a while.  I'm 90% certain I would choose to live forever, but the only hard thing would be to watch your loved ones die, and I would be afraid of being continually alone.  However, I'm sure I could remain friends with my family's descendants and serve as a valuable  window into their family history.

I think I would live forever- think of all the knowledge & wealth you could amass, and all the places and historical events you could see!  I would work on my psychic abilities, and learn so many skills.  People only like people with skills!

Wouldn't it be great to look back, 500 years from now, when people are capable of space & time travel, to hear people of that generation say, "Wow, can you imagine how limited people must've felt 500 years ago?"  I would also be able (hopefully) to witness and live in a world totally tolerant of LGBT people.
