1.  Have you ever had a transcendent experience?  If so, what happened? 


I've had several. Some have been conversations with God when I'd actually hear his voice in my head. Once I was driving on the freeway and I heard a voice that spoke clearly, saying "Turn around and look behind you." Saved me from an accident.




2.  If you had to pick one sense and lose all others, what would it be?


Vision. But I would really miss my sense of touch (hugs)and hearing (I love you's, Christmas carols, my children singing, compliments, babie's sounds...)




3.  What is your favorite attribute in a person?


Fairness. I can't tell you how many times in my life I've been completely obsessed about something that was unfair, and tried without success to get the person to right his wrong. 




4.  Describe your happiest accident.


My son. 




5.  If you had to choose one personal object to leave behind when you are gone, what would it be? 


My silverware. It represents something I thought I'd be when I grew up (elegant). The time for elegance is long past.  It would be a beautiful reminder of shared holidays for my kids.
