Seeing that the roads we didn’t take might have made us uncomfortable can, hopefully, draw us toward greater courage in the future. Pulling out all the stops for that final one-person performace is an experience not many adults get to have because the rest of us rarely see what we are truly capable of and having that knowledge is a gift - even if you wonder about the other paths you could have taken. Looking forward to your book Meg, well doneπŸ‘πŸ‘

Thanks for a great questionaire everyone!

Thank you, Donna.

Here's to our courageous futures! πŸ₯‚

As with all glances into the past, if we could change those path turns we wonder about, we would inevitably change a whole mess of other paths along the way. Many of those accidental adventures I wouldn't give up for the world. πŸ’œ

Love these answers! Especially the weather report for your last day. Why do we pick our dogs over our hubbies? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I know!! πŸ˜‚I think spending "the day" with my husband and kids would be too sad for me. That's why I chose to write them letters in the company of the dog instead. Then I could say all the right things to them without all of us being covered in grief snot.❀️

Great interview!

And your intuition, to me, is correct in terms of emphasis, which you jump on ASAP: β€œBe the hero in your own story. Be a memorable supporting character in everyone else’s.”

Indeed...
