Everything that happened to her on the way to where she is was specifically to help her get to the next level - that's why I believe we are all "perpetual trainees" - always being trained for the future. @ Liara Covert:

I just returned from a speaking engagement in Fla and am am now reading everyone's comments. I'm so glad all of you enjoyed reading more about Christine. Isn't she an interesting person to learn about? @Patricia: Thanks for sharing your hitchhiking experiences in the old days. Yes, if you were young and fearless, that characteristic is likely to be carried throughout the rest of your life. @Christine: I fixed the layout of the interview. I didn't realize the formatting was all screwy - I had preposted the article so that it would come out while I was traveling to Fla for my spkg gig. I was surprised to find it out of whack so I fixed it. It's good as new. :) @Albert: I'm glad you are enjoying the new series. I've got two more bloggers already lined up for the next month! @Corinne: It's true, isn't it? A closed mouth doesn't get fed. Interesting point, hmmm? @Chrissy: I love helping other bloggers grow their community via the interview series here. There's nothing like giving back to the blogosphere and what a better way to do it than this way? It's fun, you get to know the interviewee and you help get more exposure. In a way, the interview series is like me "paying it forward." :) Hello Everybody! I just returned from a speaking engagement in Fla and am am now reading everyone’s comments.

I am enjoying getting to know Christine through the interview. I look forward to reading more next week. My husband used to hitchhike in the 60's. His last time was in the summer of 1972. He started out at Kelley's Truck Stop outside of Shreveport, Louisiana and hitched rides to Helena, Montana and to the Canadian/US border. He was trying to get to Alaska to work for the summer. The Canadians told him he didn't have enough money to go through Canada so he headed back home to Shreveport. He was gone for exactly one week. We got married 3 months later in August and went back to being poor college students. Those were the times. Being young and fearless should carry over to the rest of our lives.

I particularly liked "A closed mouth does not get fed!" We have to learn to ask for what we want! And get over the fear of looking weak or being rejected. That's the big one!

We have to learn to ask for what we want! And get over the fear of looking weak or being rejected.

That’s the big one!
