Are you More worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?
I would rather fail at attempting to do the right thing then succeed at doing the wrong thing perfectly.

You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire.  They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend.  The criticism is distasteful and unjustified.  What do you do? 
You know, this is a typical question seeing how good of a person you are. if you would have asked me a few years ago, I probably would have sat there and just listened and maybe even added a few things just so i "fit in" but now.. no. I would stick up for my friend, especially if she/he didn't do anything to deserve the gossip. I would be polite, and not stoop to their level and say You know, so and so is a very good friend of mine and I was taught if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. So, with that thanks for lunch. and I would probably leave...

If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?
I tell Lillian every single day that she is beautiful and I want her to be happy. I decided that is what I want most for my children, for them to have self confidence, and good attitude towards themselves, and for them to always be happy with who they are. I also make her laugh a lot. I sing, dance, tickle her, laugh at my own jokes just to see her laugh and smile. Laughing at yourself is important, don't take anything to serious, and have fun.

What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
Most people my age? raise a daughter. I'm going to leave it at that. 

How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy?
If the same things made everyone in the world happy that would be a boring world. I love when people have different interests in movies, tastes in music, belong to different activities.  It makes life fun and it makes you accept other peoples views of "happiness".
