What can you do today that you couldn't do a year ago?

Be present with and for a person that is dying.

What do you when you are feeling creative?

I love this question! Sometimes I dance because I am happy, sometimes I write, often I reorganize things or redecorate. Sometimes I go for a walk so that I might enjoy the outdoors and "think" at the same time.

Have you had, or are you planning on having, a second career?

This is why I am in Graduate School. For my second career I am going into chaplaincy. I like the counseling aspect of it and there are many venues where a chaplain can be used. For example, mental health institutions, veterans organizations, prisons, hospitals, hospices, non-profits, community organizing, airports and private sector.

Are you going to vote in the Presidential primaries and general election? If so why and if not, why?

Yes, I'm voting in my state's primary and the gen election because I want my voice heard. I want it to be noted that I have an opinion. It's one of my ways of standing up and being counted. I'm also voting because a lot of people made great sacrifices so that I could vote.

I would love it if there was a law to enforce voting in this country and the punishment for not voting would be a hefty fine.
