What is your mission?

My mission is simple, yet boundless and true,
To leave the world brighter in all that I do.
To live with awareness, gratitude, and care,
And embrace each day with a spirit laid bare.

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

Whatever the years, may they never feel long,
For joy lets time flow like a familiar song.
When giving outweighs all I gather or gain,
Even time softens, unburdened, unchained.

What could you do differently?

I could plan a bit less and wiggle my way,
Let go of perfection and call it a day.
Miss a beat, be late, spill some tea,
And still trust life knows what’s best for me.

What makes you feel nostalgic?

Old songs, familiar fragrance, and fading light,
Handwritten notes tucked out of sight.
Moments that return without a call,
Reminding me I once was there, heart and all

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

I don’t linger too long in the past I’ve outgrown,
Nor chase the future yet unknown.
I choose the present, steady and vast,
Where lessons breathe, and moments last.

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

I don’t pause life for play, I play as I go,
In shared laughter, soft wonder, and moments that glow.
Playtime is presence, a heart unafraid,
Finding joy in the ordinary, wherever it’s laid.

What are your biggest challenges?

My biggest trials are learning to wait,
To trust the timing, not rush my fate.
To breathe deeper even when I’m in a hurry,
And find my calm in moments of worry.

What relationships have a positive impact on you?

The ties that heal, not hold or bind,
Are gifts that gently shape my mind.
In simple love and honest cheer,
They make my path feel warm and clear.

How have your political views changed over time?

Once I spoke in certainty, bold and loud,
Now I listen longer, less tied to a crowd.
I’ve learned that truth has many views,
And wisdom grows when kindness steers the news.

What is your all time favorite automobile?

My silver Ford feels like a second home,
Carrying my dreams wherever I roam.
With every mile, it hums my tune,
A steady companion beneath sun or moon.
