Thank you Danielle for putting me in the spotlight and thank you to everyone that posted questions - some VERY thought provoking!


It is now my time to turn the spotlight onto another member!

The member I have chosed is special to me and a lot of other members too, she is always there with the right thing to say and brings a smile to each of our faces! Also tasking my brain with the word games!


This weeks member in the spotlight is:


Stephanie!!


(aka dawnofsierra)





I will start with a few questions that got me thinking!

1. How do you like to relax?

2. So far, what has been the best moment of your life and why?

3. What is the most difficult hurdle, in your life, that you have had to conquer and how did you do it?

4. Who is your best friend and why are they so special to you?

I will leave you with that to start with!


I hope you enjoy your week, Stephanie!

I hope you enjoy your week, Stephanie!
You're so sweet, Sarah, thank you so much!
I sure have fun with you on the word games, too!


1. To relax, I enjoy snuggling up with my baby girl with a good book. I also do yoga and relax by sitting out on the beach and looking out over the ocean. Also, I come here to relax with my friends daily!

2. That's really difficult to say. Looking back, the most positive lifechanging moment had to be the moment Sierra and I met!
Positive results from Sierra's Vet. appts are wonderful. Becoming a member here at TCS has also changed my life. May sounds sad, but when I became Mentor here was a spectacular moment. When I graduated from Nursing School ranks right up there.
3. For a while, I wasn't on the wrong path for my life, I was on the wrong planet! I realized I wasn't living the life I was meant to live and where I was heading and made a decision to change my life. In one day, I packed up myself and Sierra, broke contact with every one of my "friends", never to have contact with them again, and moved home to start brand new. I began Nursing School that fall. That was difficult because of different things I was dealing with at the time, but the decision has changed my life. I did it with help from God. There is no other way I could have.
4. My best non-cyber friend would be Beth. We have been friends since 1990. She even lived with me for a while back in highschool. How interesting to try to explain why someone is your friend! I love her very much and feel the same from her. Although we are different in many ways, our lives alway stay connected. We live so far apart now, but are never too far away. We can go a while without talking, but then when we do, it's as if we were together just yesterday.

Great questions, Sarah! Thank you, and thank you again for thinking of me as Member of the Week! I really am truly honored!

I am sure you have told this story before, but for those of us who don't know (and it might just be me!
)
How did Miss Sierra come into your life?

Thank you, Susan!

1. The majority of the time, I watch the news and news related programs such as Dateline. I also enjoy Discovery Health and Animal Planet.

2. Since I eat alot of fresh produce, along with inevitably forgetting something when I go to the grocery store
, I usually end up going to the store at least twice a week, sometimes 3 times, just to pick up a couple of items each time.
3. As nervous as she becomes around other, outside sounds, she has never been the least bit phased by the vacuum cleaner!
4. My Mom is a hairdresser and the only person who has ever trimmed my hair. I get a trim each time I see her, so this can be every few months or longer, 7 months recently, just depending on how often we see eachother. I have long hair that is all one length, so it is easy to trim.

Great questions, Susan, thank you!

Hi, Fwan!

1. Sierra is my one and only!

2. I only wear make up for a very special occassion. The last time I recall wearing any was when I was Bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding.
3. Yes.
4. I would, but Sierra will have nothing of it! Every kitty I've ever taken into our home has quickly become a foster. Sierra becomes extremely distraught and depressed. She is an only child and likes it that way!

Thank you, great questions!

Hi, Beth and Meishka!
Sierra wanted me to be sure to tell you guys how excited she is that she and Meishka are friends now on Catster!

1. Believe I'll need to come back to this one, tough question!

2. I'm probably doing it right now!
I very much enjoy reading and do so at every given opportunity!

3. You're kidding, right!

Thank you, Beth, fantastic questions!

Hi, Sarah!

Sierra and I met outside a bookstore on a busy street one miraculous July day when she was only a few days old. It was truly love at first sight.
I became her Mommy, and she became my life.
I took her home and cared for her around the clock with bottle feedings and all the other care required for such a tiny baby. My entire world has revolved around her since.
:
Thank you, Sarah, this just brought tears to my eyes just thinking about how much I love my baby girl!

I am sorry I passed the spotlight on so late!
Very busy at uni and with general artwork

If it is okay with everyone, then I think you should have it Thursday to Thursday! A little unconventional, but hey?!!


Excellent answers, Stephanie!

I must say that you were very brave to leave your old life like that, it must have been quite difficult!
I am glad things are a lot better though and you're on track!


Do you ever miss the people you knew then or wonder what they are doing now?

Is Sierra ever cheeky to you?

If you had to change your name, what would you call yourself?

Do you enjoy art? Practising and observing?

Who is your favourite artist?

It's a refreshing change, Sarah!

1. I do my very best to never, ever think about it.
2. I'm so sorry to have to ask, Sarah, cheeky? Does that mean lovable? If so, yes, my baby girl is so very precious and lovable!

3. Well, that sure is an interesting question! Maybe Elizabeth, that's Sierra's middle name, and I've always thought it to be so beautiful!

4. I very much enjoy observing art. I have so much admiration for artists, as I am not the least bit artistic, but have a wonderful time trying! It's amazing to see what someone can creat with their hands and their heart working together! I also feel people are artistic in different ways. Some people practice art through their music, others through dance. I enjoy and appreciate all kinds of forms of art.

Thank you, Sarah!

Oh, thank you, Susan!

Yes, my sweet girl sure can be mischievious!
Just the other day, she did the cutest thing! Sierra eats very little Innova Lite dry, only what she gets as a treat. So, I simply pick up the little sample packs and one lasts for quite a while. Well, I had gotten a bottle of water out of the pantry, and in the time it took me to fill her Drinkwell and walk back in the the room, she had found herself a pack of food and was walking off with it!
You should have seen her, she was so proud , walking tall with her little tail straight up, having really gotten away with something!

Sorry Sarah, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was picking on you for passing it on a bit late! I'm sure no one will mind if we change the days around... or else Stephanie could just do it til next Saturday or Sunday? Whatever everyone things will work sounds fantastic!

Hi, Rigel!

1. I can ride a bike, but do not own one.

2. For dessert, I usually have frozen red grapes and frozen bananas, but my favorite would probably be strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries!

3. Sierra has 3 terra cotta pots of kitty grass which we rotate so she has a full pot ready at all times! That is the extent of my indoor plants!

Thank you, Rigel!
