I am such an ingrate. Even though I post five things to be grateful for each day, I still take things for granted. Case in point, blogger awards. I have been so busy with Bloggers for Peace that I have not reciprocated on no less than 10 blogger awards. Thanks to Rarasaur for hitting me in the head of how important blogger awards are. It’s hypocritical to try to recruit members of Bloggers for Peace while ignoring these special awards and the amazing bloggers who nominated everydaygurus (EG). I am going to adjust the rules, however, so I don’t bore you to death.

Her blog is just as generous as her comments. Check out her incredible jewelry, artwork, and photography. Obrigado, Glorious Mettle.
I’m going to combine all the personal questions into 7 things about me.
1) I love Apple computers. I once bought 300 shares of Apple stock when it was $10/share. Everyone had given up on Apple, but I had faith in the core beliefs of the company. Last year, Apple reached $660/share. Unfortunately, I sold the lot at $22/share.
2) If my life was a stock, it would be selling for about $10/share. Many of my friends and family have given up on me, but I have faith in my core beliefs. And like Apple, I’m getting better and better everyday.
3) Three of my good friends have drowned while surfing big waves. Rest in Peace, Todd, Donnie, and Mark.
4) My father-in-law is a Qigong master who can make light come out of the tips of his fingers.
5) I once crashed my car on the freeway because I INTENTIONALLY went to sleep while driving–I realized that the elevated markers that lined the freeway were meant to wake up sleeping drivers, so I went to sleep figuring that the markers would wake me up when I needed to steer.
6) The only summer camps I attended when I was a kid were at the Institute of Buddhist Studies where we chanted and meditated three times a day in seiza position.
7) Even though I’ve spent half my life studying all different kinds of martial arts, I’ve lost every fight I’ve ever been in. Guess, I’m a lover, not a fighter.
