1. My dream job would be to have a photography studio of my own in which I capture children in both a formal portrait setting as well as outside in a more natural setting. I have been so inspired by children and think that it would be a great job. I enjoy taking photographs and wish I could build on my confidence so that I would have the courage to open my own studio. I have been told that I have the talent, but unfortunately am unable to plunge into my dream job due to a looming lack of confidence.
2. Without a doubt, I am most proud of my daughter and being a mommy. Three years ago, she was born in a town in Texas and her birth-mother took a chance on us as being her child's adoptive parents. I am thrilled to be her mommy and am amazed by her daily. Every night I tell her she is the best kid in the whole wide world and I tell her I am the luckiest mommy in the whole wide world. Not a day goes by that I don't tell her how fortunate I am to be her mommy. I feel that I was given the best gift and often times my heart does not feel large enough to hold the love I have for my daughter. She is by far my greatest accomplishment.
3. Loosing my grandmother eleven years ago has to be the greatest loss that I have suffered. She helped raise me and was my other light, besides my daughter. She and I were a team much the way my daughter and I are and to loose her was devastating to me. My father's death seemed to pale in comparison to that of my grandmother's. We just had a special bond that has only been replicated with my daughter. Even to this day, I sometimes go to grab the phone to call Mimi, but almost instantly the twinge of pain in my stomach reminds me that she is no longer here.
4. I would like to meet so many people but am painfully shy and fear that I could not say anything interesting or original that would warrant the conversation continuing. I have been inspired by so many musicians over the years and would love to pick Ani Difranco's brain.
5. The hardest part of my day when I am tired would have to be putting my daughter to bed. It often is a lengthy process and when I am tired, it is sometimes difficult. The best part is seeing her eyes looking at me when she wakes up in the morning or when she runs to me after I come home from work. There is nothing better than her sweet glance and starting the day over and experiencing first hand the wonderment of a child.
