HELLO BRAVE PEOPLE!  I'm Rhona, and I call you (us) 'brave' since I believe it takes immense courage to choose to face yourself and carefully assess what it is you can and cannot do....I'm the mom of 2 teenagers and proud of that, yet soon they'll both be off to college, which is one reason I want to have a career in place... before they leave!  It will be a huge change for me- having them leave- so my plan right now is to take my dream and put it into action so that I'll be well underway with my work and 'too busy' to let myself fall into the pit of despair (at least for an extended period of time) when the "crux" of my nuclear family changes the moment my son leaves for school in August; IT'S WHAT I WANT FOR HIM; but I ALSO want to show BOTH KIDS that they're intelligent, hard-working mother who's had some bad breaks is NOT EVER going to give up!!!!  And that NOW, at this point in life, that she is willing to put herself on the life and say, "I'M GOING FOR THIS DESPITE THE ODDS; I'M DETERMINED TO EXCEL AND CREATE A FUTURE THAT PRECISELY MATCHES MY VISION OF IT."  I need them to see that it does NOT matter what anyone thinks, no matter how seemingly "crazy", no matter my age, my past, my WHATEVER- this is MY TIME TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE THAT FINALLY TOLD ME WHAT I AM DESTINED TO STRIVE FOR AND HOW IT WILL BE ME AND MYSELF ALONE WHICH WILL DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF MY SUCCESS."  If my kids see that; it will reinforce their individual belief's that ANYONE CAN DO ANYTHING THEY WANT TO; AND THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED INSIDE.  The "problem"?  Fear.  Of What???  THAT is what I ask them to ask themselves; and that, my friends, is precisely what it is I'm doing RIGHT NOW due to a VERY rapidly approaching "make or break (not a chance) opportunity I've been recently given; and both the past and the future have put my in a most unusual crossroads with myself NOW; just when I least need it OR when I MOST need to find my center and my balanced way of thinking.  Suddenly I've misplaced some of the resolve and 'tools' I'd had in place in order to conquer this super-challenge I've placed on my plate.  I KNOW I can find it within the next 48 hours, since that's all the time I have to LOOK FOR IT! Sealed  That's a half/half smile of sheer fear, and complete confidence combined; now it's time to extract that imaginary fear that comes from.......

I joined TOOLS because:
 Sometimes you've just got to reach out to your fellow man to feel the goodness in "strangers" (there's no such thing to me!); sometimes you've got to rely on the stories that others' have experienced in order to bolster what's inside of you; and TOOLS seems like the ideal 'world' for me to HAVE TO BE TRUE TO MYSELF (since I'm doing it in front of a WHOLE lot of people!), and I joined because I believe that much of what I've already learned and everything I'm ABOUT to learn can certainly be of benefit to at least ONE person!
You are offered your dream job. What job is it?:
 To be the 'face' of a commercial product and to create a series of TV commercials where I represent the product and am DOING SO GLADLY AND WITH HONOR AND PRIDE! I would LOVE to be the voice of women over 50 who still FEEL YOUNG, but can also feel how we can quickly 'unravel' unless we don't come to terms with everything that's on our plates; and that unless WE AS INDIVIDUALS don't do everything we can RIGHT NOW to stop the downward spiral and challenge ourselves to GO FOR IT; well, there's only one way to go.........I want to be the voice of ENCOURAGEMENT FOR WOMEN IN THEIR MID-LIVES; I'd LOVE to be the FACE of TODAY'S MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN; comlete with my blue jeans, my black and white converse tennis shoes, and my propensity to be just a little left of center; a quality I ADORE in myself and need to cultivate that a bit more; 'My dream job is to be given the platform to make your dream job less of a unfocused-dreamy-dream, and more of an ABSOLUTELY VIABLE OPPORTUNITY for THE FUTURE YOU ENVISION FOR YOURSELF!'
My favorite wild animal is:
 Leo the Lion says, "the Mighty Lioness"........the Queen of the Jungle; the keen-eyed, nuturing, ever-alert, loving, beautiful, sleek, and SELF-CONFIDENT STALKER of that which keeps us alive; 'prey'; whether prey in the form of tools for life, or prey in the form of healthy self-esteem in providing for a family. Prey is the sustanance of life; I'm a Leo and a Lioness; I'm great and mighty and though it might not always be 'pretty'; it's always effective and causes the least amount of inflicted pain.
Why (describe as much as possible):
 I think I already did!
My favorite domestic animal is (if you choose dog be specific with breed etc):
 An Iggy; Italian Greyhound. I have two; Mojo and Mia Lee.
Why:
 Because they're K-10's; almost 'catlike', yet bred thousands of years ago as 'adornments'; to show status. They had no other real purpose (but were used in Italy in later years to chase 'little creatures'...they're sighthounds).....and they're not ITALIAN; not related to big Greyhounds (though their stature is the same as) and they're LITTLE; 10-13 lbs., give or take. They're smart, unique, active, athletic, loving, devoted, they're like no other breed, and they can run like the wind; 30-45mph, for short speed-runs! They're awesome animals! Rescue one!!
A famous Chef will prepare anything you want. What do you order:
 Sushi and Sashimi.
Why:
 They're YUMMY; and good for you.
Five people either dead or alive you would have at your fantasy dinner party::
 Shakespeare, Michaelangelo, My Grandmother and Great-grandmother, and Einstein.
Why:
 First, i don't cook. :) Shakespeare because I hear he was an awful man, but I really would LOVE to 'feel his vibe'.....Michaelangelo because I'd love to touch the hand of an angel...My Nana because she and her mom, my great-granny, LOVED ME MORE THAN ANYONE, AND TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE (THANK YOU!!!!!) (by example, no less! BEAUTIFUL!) and Einstein; since I'd love to build up HIS self-esteem a bit; I hear he thought he was a nobody doing nothing important. Right; Mr. Einstein; come to the Library with me!
If a pilot would fly you anywhere you want, you would go to:
 New Zealand.
My perfect slice of pizza is:
 Chicago-style anykind.
You are at a bar. You order this drink:
 Mai Tai with top shelf booze.
You are at a coffee shop. What coffee or tea do you order:
 Mocha Latte with whipped cream. Oops! Not anymore! I would order a regular coffee with Sweet and Low. Trying to SHAPE UP!
If a genie could grant you three wishes they would be (separate by commas):
 To be motivated to accomplish something everyday that would make ME feel good. To be reminded to accomplish something everyday that would make SOMEONE I LOVE OR WHO NEEDS feel good. To get myself whipped into shape from head to toe; to truly take care of myself at a critical time in my life.
You are going on a long road trip and you can only bring three CD's. Which ones do you bring (separate by commas):
 Wish You Were Here.........Pink Floyd Best of Chicago............Chicago Best of Queen..............Queen
If I could do anything for my neighborhood today, it would be:
 Cut our grass!
A sunset I remember:
 How grateful I am for EVERYTHING I HAVE IN MY LIFE.
Any character I could be from a movie, TV show or book would be:
 A strong and mighty character who shoves herself out of her way and becomes a visibly courageous and inspiring human being whose understanding of 'the spiritual' aspect of life (i.e., the 'real reality' we live in; not the reality most believe is 'ALL THERE IS') can somehow be effectively communicated and utilized by anyone who needs it; WITHOUT THE FANFARE OF HAVING PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION, btw.
Why:
 Because I WANT to give and when you give, you get. I need to 'get' to a greater extent at this point in life, so I'm happy to give far more than I usually do- Hey! I'm a Leo, remember? We're very generous and loyal!!!
