 | How are you different from others in your professional sector? My own brain is a filter from my lifetime, so, what comes out is different than others, just as, what comes out of anyone is different than others. Yet, being human, and communicating with each other, the differences are small. I like to think I have my own sass, and perspective, but, I know I can not totally claim it as my own, not yet anyway. |

 | What is the most important thing you have learned from experience? I am not alone, I am not in control of anything except myself. I have blessings of love given to me constantly. If I relax and trust, everything works.
I have learned that if others bother me, it is my own problems that I have not cleared up, not them, they are mirrors to my inner awareness.
I have learned this universe is intelligent and inifinite.
I have learned how to experience happiness. |
 | When you were young, what did you want to be when you grew up? Honestly, I didn't have a thought like that. People would ask me, and I would answer the question the way I thought they wanted to hear it, such as, I want to be a teacher, or nurse. I never really said I wanted to be such things as a stripper, bar maid, owner of a house of prostution, writer, comic or space traveler, just for example. I didn't like what options I saw available, and so, did not really have a big dream about that. I knew I thought the Indians in the movies about the West were hot, but, I couldn't tell anyone that either. |
 | Save some excpetions, do you believe professional and personal relationships should not be mixed? That doesn't matter, what I believe. What is real, that is the question that is more interesting, to me. |
 | Your Bible? The Big Book. |
 | How do you handle customer complaints? That depends on the complaint. |
 | Someone wants to ask for a pay rise and they ask you for advice in how to approach the matter with their boss. What do you tell them? Let the boss know, in writing, the things you are capable of, and have done that give credit for the reason the boss would pay you more. |
 | What do you do to manage stress? Many things, bath, walk, talk with friends, watch something funny, pay attention to the moment, meditate, swim, physical work, chocolate, art work, garden, do the dishes, read, write, take a drive, dance, learn something new.... lots of things work, best is noticing what I am grateful for. |
 | What are the most common mistakes clients make when they judge your work? Hmmm, I don't think I know of any. A judgement is a judgement, is it a mistake? |
CREATIVITY
 | "To give birth to ideas." Is this only an expression, or are there really parallels between giving birth and creativity? More than half the population can not answer this question. |
