We've all received them. Some of us have even sent them. I did a few days ago.
What? Emails that ask you to answer a myriad of questions about yourself under the guise that it will help your friends know you better.
It occurred to me last night that even though I'm guilty of participating, I really don't want to know these trivial things.
Here's what I really want to know:
1. What makes your heart sing?
2. Can I call you at 3 am to bail me out of jail and will you do it?
3. If you could, at this moment, go anywhere and be anything your heart desired, what would that look like?
4. What is stopping you from realizing #3?
5. How can I be a better friend to you?
If you care to respond, the comments are open.

This blog was created to give my family and friends a bird's eye view of the journey I am on. If you read something that resonates with you and you'd like to plaster it on your refrigerator, bathroom mirror, cubicle wall or share it with someone you love, I am honored. If you read something that resonates with you and you pass it off as your own...shame on you.

Laura! This is fascinating! I love these questions and they are going to stay with me today as I think about how they relate in my life. I'm not so bold as to toss out answers easily -- except of course, if you are in jail and need me to bail you at at 3:00 a.m., absolutely I will!:)
Have a great day!

Thank you my sister! As always, take what's helpful and leave the rest.
Much love,
Laura
My heart sings with the sounds of family and friends!
Definately can call me anytime to bail you out of jail - what's the point of being friends with a cop if you can't do that?!??!?!
I'd be myself with my wonderful partner and we'd be laying on a white sand beach together somewhere.... nothing stopping - other than the normal committmens of everyday life!
You're a GREAT FREAIN' FRIEND!!! You rock!!!
Love ya babe! : ]
You rock too H! Thanks for being my friend and you know I have you on speed dial for that very special 3 AM call!
Love ya!
