Today’s posts share 25 questions i brainstormed to “rapid fire” in an hour at someone i’m getting to know. Each post has five questions. The questions are in the order they were thought of, which is not the order i would intentionally ask them.

  1. Tell me about a time when you stood up against what everyone was saying should be done because you thought there was a better way that no one else could see.
  2. Top 3 Fav Disney movies?
  3. What makes you come alive at work?
  4. What doesn’t feel like work at work?
  5. What are your get to dos and have to dos?

Note: This post’s title (Let’s see) is inspired by this morning’s one-week post cataract surgery followup exam. Hoping to ‘see’ eye-healing progress.

Travel helps or hurts

Drama knows no limits. i do not need drama. No one does. Traveling light minimizes chances for travel drama.

Do not lower your standards. Ever.

When you travel a lot and you leave behind those you love the most, you understand your math, right?

Yes.
