    What would you do if you won the lottery?

    I actually don’t believe in the lottery. Here in Norway there was a scandal last year. So, no I’m not into the lottery.

    If I came into a bit of money, I’d tread carefully until I got a financial advisor to help. I think it’s important to have your feet firmly planted on the ground even if I was solvent.

    Why? Do you ask because I’ve seen money ruin people & I don’t like that. If you are suddenly wealthy don’t give you carte blanche to treat people badly.

    I think I’d start a non-profit & help others in need through the non-profit. Instead of giving hand outs. I’d like to do something impactful & with meaning.

    So, I’m remembered through that, not that I suddenly became wealthy.

    I don’t believe in the lottery but I believe in doing good for others.

  • The Norwegian Nobel Committee

    Has Never been connected to the government in Anyway. It’s its own entity that determines who gets the Peace prize. Let me make something else clear. The orange dictator was never in the running for this year’s medal.

    The Nobel Committee is very aware of the internal issues grappling with the USA. Including ICE & other ways the orange dictator is controlling the once free people.

    By sending nasty messages to other world leaders, he needs to be Article 25 immediately. He’s not sane or rational. He is on his way to start World War Three over the fact that he was not given a medal he doesn’t deserve.

    I no longer live in the orange dictator land & take a deep breath every day that I do not.

  • My string instrument

    Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

    I began playing cello in fourth grade & played through high school. The practice & the lessons taught me discipline.

    In high school I had a very toxic home life & practicing on my cello & playing in two orchestras saved my life. To this day I still have it but am grateful that I no longer need to rely on it for my own wellbeing.

    I became quite good at playing & played the first chair for most of the time I played. Something that required practice every day & listening intently to the conductor of the orchestra.

    Playing cello saved my life & gave me something to have as a goal every day. To this day I’m forever grateful for my orchestra pals & that I played the entire score to West Side Story in high school.
