Tarah
I have an old soul, a young heart, and a smart mouth.
Music moves me, painting grounds me, writing baits me, and reading captivates me.
Thank you so much for doing this interview with me!!! Oh and I want to read your book and I want one of your paintings too :)
What
do you like to do for fun?
I'm
pretty much up for anything. Most of my hobbies center around reading, writing,
art, and music. I'm always up for an adventure though.
I love reading too :)
Who
is your favorite author and why?
Picking
just one favorite author to me is an impossible task. For starters, I'm
ridiculously indecisive, but the more time I put towards this question, the
longer of a list I could give you. I read everything from books of poetry to
mystery thrillers. There is just too much amazing talent from past and present
to narrow down all my loves in writing.
LOL
When
you are upset what is your comfort food?
If
it's cold outside I would want homemade chicken and dumplings...heavy on the
dumplings. Sour Patch Kids poured over hot popcorn is a favorite any time of
year. Also, if my better half upsets me, she knows she can bring me home some
petit fours and all will be right with my world.
The next time I got to the movies I am going to try this! Seriously I am.
I
have seen your art work….Are you ever going to start selling your pieces? (you
don’t have to answer this one, if not just choose another question)
I
don't actively sell anything, but I do sell my art. When an offer is made, I
either give them the original or make another. I only have so many walls in my
home and so many friends and family to give pieces to. I'm sure I've reached
the point in some of my loved ones lives where they would kill me if I gave
them any more artwork. I rarely turn down an offer to give away or sell a
painting.
Well you need to have a showing of your work, cause you are pretty damn good!
What
is your favorite saying?
I'm
a little bit of a quotes and sayings junkie. "There are as many ways to
live in this world as there are people in this world, and each one deserves a
closer look." and “Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to
accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.” are a couple of my favorites. I
often say comment that "the view is worth the climb" or to remember
the difference in "intentions versus impact." Oh! Vincent van Gogh
said, "There is peace even in the storm." I could quote Abraham
Lincoln all day as well...
I love Vincent Van Gogh's saying...
What
is your favorite book?
See
answer to question about authors... Haha. The same thing applies. Just to give
you something though...

Yikes.
Forcing myself to stop because I could seriously give you oh so many. See what
happens when I start making lists? You're regretting asking me to do this
aren't you? Ha!
Well all these are now on my list thank you very much. But you know I love me some Semblance by Logan Patricks :)
If
you could change one thing about the world what would it be?
Oh
gosh. I feel like a pageant contestant with my answer, but... to end world
hunger. I believe it's one in eight people that are undernourished? I can't
recall the statistics. The numbers of deaths from starvation and malnutrition
in some countries is downright outrageous and tragic. Taking a look in our
backyard... there are so many people, children even, who don't know where their
next meal is coming from. Something as simplistic as food should not be a
problem in the world we live in today.
Nope! I totally love your non-pagant contestant answer :)
If
you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live
In
the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse on a secluded beach... with the hopes I
could still get internet somehow. Haha.
I am thinking that I am going to steal your idea :)
How
many books have you read this year?
I
have no idea. It varies due to life and obligations, obviously, but I can
generally average one book every few days. Sometimes more if my procrastination
levels are high or my sleep levels are low.
Secret! I am nerd and I have a spreadsheet of all the books that I have read. Shhh, don't tell anyone :)
Tell
me 1 thing about you that no one knows?
I'm
an open book for the most part. I think the things no one knows about me are
left unknown for good reasons. Here is something random for you... some of the
most memorable moments in my life were due to complete strangers. I try to
always remember that as I go about my way in this world. You don't have to know
someone to make a difference, so try to ensure what you're doing would make a
positive impact opposed to a negative one. Even the smallest pebble causes
ripples to disperse
Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! is all I can say after that answer!
