Author: Nikki In a Nutshell

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

The taking upon oneself without authority, unwarranted boldness in conduct OR thought, the taking of undue liberties, the undertaking of something in rash defiance, bringing with it heated anger. Showing little respect for others by ‘doing things you have no right to do’. It is closely related to haughtiness, arrogance, pride, forwardness … opposite of meekness & modesty. According to Proverbs 21:24 … “ A presumptuous, arrogant braggart is what you call the man who acts with reckless presumptuousness.”

Describe your ideal week.

My weeks are 10 days in length. The days are never action packed. Whatever needs to be done is done ear-ly & at a snails pace! Ideally, I won’t visit the grocer, petrol station nor get thrown for a loop more than once or twice within that time. Several of the days I don’t even leave home! How sweet is that!

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.

Nadia Comaneci. Ichiro Suzuki. Allen Iverson. Serena Williams . Cristiano Ronaldo. I can’t list the why’s, it would take me all day!

How do you relax?

It is my aim everyday, all day long, to be mentally relaxed. No matter what is going on outside of me/around me I must maintain a good grip on my mental state. I am confronted with trying situations & I have been shaken, but I usually realize it quickly & don’t remain in that condition any longer than I have to. Even then, it is my aim to quiet & calm my mental. I’m almost always relaxed/tending to state of mind.

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

.

Are you holding a grudge? About?

It takes a lot to lose me, so when I leave/you leave, I’m never coming back. You can forgive someone & yet not want anything to do with them moving forward. My pasts are behind me, not ahead of me … though, I CAN show you better than I can tell you.

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

To make a long story short, I was young & I’d gone the furthest I’d ever been away from home. I wasn’t ready, didn’t like it, & was home sick. So I returned quite quickly.
