Ironically after my last post being about finding my historical twin, I got an email today from my friend Lisbeth Sanders who has created a really cool website that helps people write a biography (or autobiography) using 250 thought-provoking life story questions and an easy-to-use web template. Lisbeth’s site is LifeBio.com.
When you go there you can sign up to receive 10 Sample Life Bio questions. Here are the first two with my answers recorded here. I’d love to know your thoughts on these questions too - or any of the other 8 sample questions…
How would you describe your mother to someone who had never met her?
My mother is a beautiful woman who is full of life and energy. She is caring, smart and fun to be around. Lest you think she is perfect - she is known by her friends to be a know-it-all. We believe her when she tells us something because she says it with such conviction. Most times she does know the piece of knowledge, but it is sure fun to catch her when she’s convincingly making stuff up. If you were to need a person in your life that you know you could count on to be there when the chips are down, my mom is it. She is ALWAYS there when her family or friends need her. She’s a talented scrapbooker, a kick-ass travel agent and the best mom anyone could want.
What is a key lesson you learned from your father?
One lesson? Impossible to choose just one… My dad taught me to go after what I want in life and believe I can get it. He taught me to never make an ultimatum I didn’t want to live with should it be accepted. He taught me to laugh at myself. He gave me the gift of talking to strangers in lines. He taught me that family is always there for you even if other people come and go. He shared with me that everyone doesn’t always have the same ideas or background when approaching any situation.
Hhhhhmmmmm. These are great questions. Thanks Lisbeth!
