Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.
I’m missing my former normal life. My recent years have not been life as usual. Instead, they’ve been very unusual, chaotic and uncertain. But I believe it’s possible to begin a new phase, a good one, better than before. Just as the seasons change so can my life become something new.

What’s your dream job?
I would like to be part of a think tank so I can share my ideas. I love to think, create and problem solve.
Come up with a crazy business idea.
You hire me to take a walk at a scheduled time. Every day I ring your bell to tell you I’m going on my 30 minute walk now. I do this until it motivates you to walk for 30 minutes for somebody else that hires you. You do this until that person is motivated to begin walking for someone else.
There’s a list that people can sign up for this according to location, time, and duration.
The purpose is to motivate people to exercise by example. They see you walking, and eventually they want to too.
It’s a paid job because money is also a motivator.
