What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?

I was studying at a community college & was asked to pick up my sister over an hour away. I’d been given $20 which at that time was very much money. However, I lost it in a library.

I got to a fast food place & was about to order when I discovered the money was Gone. I mean like I couldn’t find it anywhere.

I remember telling this woman in line that I was broke & had to pick up my sister & she handed me something like $15 so I could fill up the gas tank.

When I got to the place to pick my sister up & the neighbor had already done it. I got yelled at by my parents for leaving her at the pick up point although I told them that I had lost the money and they never asked me how I got home? I’m forever grateful for the kind woman who saved the day.

Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it?

Last year I was sitting at the airport & my mom asked me why I didn’t have a travel journal. So, luckily they sold moleskin journals at the airport so I bought one.

I really enjoy that I can glue pictures in it & tell how my trips are going. I’m old school & write on paper with a pen. This blog is my exception.

So, what does one write in a travel journal, where you’ve been & what you have experienced. I’m decorating my journal with stickers & photos from our trip.

It’s really lovely to my writing separately as it helps me to compartmentalize & process what’s going on around me. If I had one piece of advice it’d be to journal. It really helps you process & see situations & things from a different perspective.

If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why?

We recently lost our eldest dog, Flekkies. He was a Lundehund & became 12 years old. One of the things we did when we said good bye was to take a picture of his paw print.

I’d like to have his paw print along with our living dog Ozzy on me. Both dogs mean very much to us, & are & were wonderful companions.

Flekkies is a legend as I announced his passing we got almost 300 condolences on the group that we’re in. Flekk was a kind & gentle soul that I miss every day. Hence, it’s important to me to have his paw print so I can remember him. Who do you want a tattoo of?
