What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
The best piece of advice I received came from a close friend, who recommended using dictation because it results in longer, clearer sentences.
When it comes to receiving advice, you must be willing to listen before you can consider using it. Sometimes, we’re not open to accepting someone’s advice or even considering it. We can be closed-minded about things and limit our options.
What’s your all-time favorite album?
No, not really.
Over time, my taste in music has changed, and with streaming services readily available, I no longer feel the need to buy albums.
What would your life be like without music?
1. This prompt is giving me an idea for a story. 😆😉
2. I can’t picture my life without music 🎼 since I love to compose classical music. Music is everywhere from worshiping God to podcasts, TV to movies, and even audiobooks. Every day, I’m surrounded by music whether I realize it or not, and not to have that in my life would be unthinkable.
Here are a couple a of my tracks from SoundCloud.com
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
1. Boundaries.
That it is perfectly fine to walk away from a person who’s not respecting my boundaries.
How often do you walk or run?
I need to make walking and other exercises a priority again and a part of my routine. That is my goal for October, and even starting this coming week.
I prefer walking, and easy low-impact exercising for my joints due to Rheumatoid Arthritis. Exercising and stretching are one of the keys to keeping my mobility longer.
How do you exercise? If you have Rheumatoid Arthritis or a chronic illness, how do you exercise? What exercises would you like for me to discuss in a future blog post?
Do you see yourself as a leader?
This is a hard one to answer. There have been times in my life when I have been a follower and a leader, it depends on the situation and the subject.
You can give people the knowledge and the tools, and then it is for them to decide.
What’s your favorite word?
I have more than one. 😀
1. Peace
2. Salvation
3. Love
4. Friendship
What are you doing this evening?
