Cindy from Tracking the Edge tagged me. So here goes nothing.
1) What’s the most fun work you’ve ever done, and why?
I teach doula and Lamaze classes. I’m passionate about birth and early parenting and just love teaching.
2) A. Name one thing you did in the past that you no longer do but wish you did?
Fit in a size 6 jean.
B. Name one thing you’ve always wanted to do but keep putting it off?
Go back to school.
3) A. What two things would you most like to learn or be better at, and why?
Well, as trivial as it sounds, my current undertaking is knitting. I find it fascinating that you can take a string and create something out of it.
I’d like to be more organized because it seems that it might make my life a little easier.
B. If you could take a class/workshop/apprentice from anyone in the world living or dead, who would it be and what would you hope to learn?
I think I’m going to have to copy Cindy’s answer and say that I would love to sit under Rob Bell and learn how to study the bible. I think another would be Tony Campolo. He seems to have this innate ability to see need and act on it.
4) A. What three words might your best friends or family use to describe you?
Funny you should ask….I recently had some friends participate in a Johari window, a personality mapping model. Three words that were used were: able, witty, loving. Intense wasn’t on there, but I definitely think that would be one.
B. Now list two more words you wish described you…
Wise and patient.
5) What are your top three passions? (can be current or past, work, hobbies, or causes)
I hate these kinds of questions. How am I supposed to categorize? When I’m working with pregnant families, one of the questions I ask them is “Assuming mom’s health and the baby’s health, what are the 3 most important things to you regarding your upcoming birth?”
So, I’m changing this question to—
Assuming love of God and love of family, what are your top three passions? (It’s my blog, I can do what I want)
Birth and early parenting. Africa. Changing the world.
6) Write–and answer–one more question that YOU would ask someone
If you could do anything…without regard to logistics, money or real life, what would it be?
I think I would live in Africa for at least a year, doing something really powerful and useful. Something to bring the Kingdom of God to bear. I’d love to do something working with the thousands of rape victims in East Congo or work in Southern Sudan.
I now tag: Virgil, Paul, Erika and aBhantiarna Solas.
