There have been many books and interviews about the “Rich, Famous, and Beautiful”, but what about the people who are “Famous” only to those in their sphere? These people may not be “Rich” or even “Beautiful” on the outside, but they carry a deep inner beauty and are rich with life experiences. As a society, we have honored our Stars. Can we now learn to honor ourselves and to honor the people that we share our everyday life with?
We would love to hear from YOU—the people that make up our world today. We would like to hear from the Baby Boomers as well as their children and from those who were born before 1946. Remember, all three phases of Maiden/Warrior, Mother/Father, and Mentor/Sage are latent within us from womb to tomb.
Below is a questionnaire to direct your thinking and to keep everyone’s answers consistent. Please answer the questionnaire as honestly as you can. There is no right or wrong answer. Give yourself time to ponder each question and to condense your response into two or three sentences.
If you wish to share your answers to the questionnaire, e-mail them to suelie@me.com. When filling out the questionnaire, first BE SPONTANEOUS. You can edit and or condense your answers to two or three sentences later. In addition, sharing your process with a friend is fun, enlightening, and mutually beneficial.
