What’s the one thing that’s a must in this world?
Without a doubt the one thing that’s “a must” in this world is having relationships with our friends and family. Connecting with human beings is known to extend our lives and fill our soul with happiness. Sharing and caring with our loved ones is what life is all about.
What is the best purchase you’ve ever made?
Organic Mechanics Soil – it is an amazing soil filled with worm castings and one of my favorite things to add to my garden.
What brings you the greatest joy?
Food and family combined. I love spending time with my family over a good meal.
What’s your favorite smell in the whole world?
Rose. It brings back memories of my grandmother.
What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
When I first began creating videos I struggled to have the videos look “perfect” every time. Then a social media expert I knew told me that I needed to “get over myself” and just get out there and do it no matter if I had messed up hair or clutter in the images. This advice applied to all aspects of my writing, photography, and media business, so I’ve jumped in and taken his advice to heart. Get over yourself and just enjoy the activity, job, or fun that you’re having in order to enjoy life more.
