Q: Where would you like to live?
A: On the beach, specifically Carmel-by-the-Sea or the north shore of Kauai.

A: A long walk on the beach at sunset with my husband, daughter and Dalmatian. (You can see a theme developing, can’t you?!)

Q: To what faults do you feel most indulgent?
A: I have a ribbon closet. I buy beautiful ribbons to wrap presents and hopefully make the recipient feel that much more special.

Q: Finish this sentence: “If I could have one super-power, it would be...”
A: To be in two places at once so I would never miss a family event but could also meet all my work and personal obligations.

Q: If you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
