What did you do in 2014 that you'd never done before?
Since 40 was around the corner, I
began seeing a personal trainer because I wanted to focus on getting my health right.
This culminated in November with me walking my first half marathon, which is something
that has been on my bucket list! I was very excited when I finished!
Oh, and I also took a cooking
lesson (baking bread), but don't ask me to bake any. LOL. You use it or you lose it! I want to do more in 2015!
Did you keep your New Years' resolutions, and will you make
more for next year?
Since 40 was around the corner, I
wanted to work on my health.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
My coworker Stephanie had a boy!
Did anyone close to you die?
No.
What countries did you visit?
I went to Croatia, Slovenia, and
Venice. Had a quick stop in Bosnia and a day trip to Montenegro.
What would you like to have in 2015 that you lacked in 2014?
2014 was okay, but there were times
I haven’t felt very “settle” for lack of a better word. I would like to feel more
planted.
What date from 2014 will remain etched upon your memory?
Memories of travel stick out over
time. I can remember the names of people I’ve meet even for a few hours because
they are part of an amazing journey of openness.
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I was very excited when we completed
the 50th issue of the PCC Scroll. When we started the newsletter, reaching
that milestone was not something I had really thought about.
What was your biggest failure?
Same as last year. I don’t handle
“disappointments” well. And after my meltdowns, things fall into place. I’m
trying to get better at my reactions especially since I know that all things
work for my good. I’m kind of a spoiled brat, but I do my whining and pouting
in private.
Did you suffer illness or injury?
No. My health tends to be good.
What was the best thing you bought?
My plane ticket! Always a good
investment.
Whose behavior merited celebration?
I noticed that a lot of people are
trying to accomplish their dreams. I am very proud of those people.
Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
I am a little confused with people
who profess to be Christians, but they have nothing but anger, malice, and hate
in their hearts. To know Christ is to know love. Spewing hate tells me you have
never met God.
Where did most of your money go?
Outside of normal monthly
experience, travel, which is a good thing.
What did you get really, really, really excited about?
My trip and the 50th
edition of the Scroll!
What song/album will always remind you of 2014?
Nothing stands out. I’m not a really
big music person though
Compared to this time last year, are you:
happier or sadder? Happier
thinner or fatter? Thinner (smile)
richer or poorer? Richer
What do you wish you'd done more of?
I wish I could afford to do more
travel, which is not necessarily true. I just need to refocus my budget.
What do you wish you'd done less of?
I could have spent less time
stressing and worrying over things (and people) I can’t change.
How will you be spending New Year's?
New Year’s Eve at church then hopefully
to Denise’s.
Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
I don’t really talk on the phone
Did you fall in love in 2014?
No! Every year is a disappointment
LOL – I’m not bitter or anything *_*
How many one night stands in this last year?
Do people do that?
What was your favorite TV program?
The only shows I followed are
Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones. I also like The Big Bang Theory.
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last
year?
I don’t really hate anyone, but
there are people who are not healthy to be around.
What was the best book(s) you read?
I don’t think I read anything new
this year. Just re-reads.
What was your greatest musical discovery?
No new music.
What did you want and get?
I wanted to travel, and I was able
to save enough money to do so.
What did you want and not get?
I’m trying to embrace won’t I don’t
get. Things have a way of working out. I am grateful for not getting a few
things I thought I wanted.
What were your favorite films of this year?
I am looking forward to watching the
third installment of the Hobbit next week!
What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 40, and I had a small get
together with some girlfriends.
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more
satisfying?
I’m trying to focus on being
grateful for the things I have. Sometimes we think life will be great when we
have this, that, or the other, but things are good!
It would be nice to have someone to
share my life with, but only if it’s the right person.
How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2014?
I like to be comfortable.
What kept you sane?
Writing, traveling, and alone time.
Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Not really into anyone right now.
What political issue stirred you the most?
There are three topics that are sure
to get people riled up: race, religion, and politics. I don’t talk much about
my experience as a black woman in America, but I am on edge about racial
matters in this here country.
Who did you miss?
I miss my old friends near and far
but realize times are changing.
Who was the best new person you met?
I met four amazing women on my trip!
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2014.
People speak with their words but it’s
in the actions that the truth is told.
Quote a song lyric that sums up your year?
Drawing a
blank.
