What is your New Years’ Resolution for 2008?

I do not usually make New Year's resolutions because they often disappoint.  I did set a few goals last year, though.  One of them was to build a credible bio.  Another one was to create more opportunities to gain exposure.  This year I would like to continue what I started.  I would also like to write a Christian novel.

Did you keep your Resolutions in 2007?

In part.  I was able to secure several speaking engagements and radio interviews.  These experiences gave me a platform to present my message and introduce my book.  I had hoped build a my space page to blog about my book on.  I didn't do that last year, but am working on it now.

If not, why not?

Learning the industry and the computer while launching a book have not been easy being a wife and mother and holding down a full time job.  But I'm still in the game.

What’s the main reason you think people fail to meet their goals?

People don't meet their goals for a number of reasons.  Some people don't meet their goals because they aren't sure what they want.  Some know what they want, but aren't flexible enough to adjust their strategies when they hit a wall.  Others are victims of bad timing; and some just don't stick it out long enough. 

What do you look forward to in 2008 that didn’t seem possible in 2007?

Greater recognition.

What’s your best feature? (hair, eye color, legs…whatever!)

My smile.

What’s your favorite day of the week and why?

Sunday.  Outside of worship (which I enjoy), there's nothing else I have to do.

What celebrity actress do you think you look like or have been told you resemble?

When I was younger, I was often told that I looked like Regina Bell.

What business tip would you like to offer?

Most people know sincerity when they see it.  Be genuine.
