Introduction	I’ve been given a mulligan. It's a gift and a rare opportunity to begin again, to walk a new path, to breathe in a new way of life. Yoga, letting go of stress and unhappy things that I cannot change, meditating, and (above all) Gratitude: These have been the things that have made my life more fulfilling than I’d ever really imagined. Finding it takes soul-searching, perseverance, and the courage to take a leap of faith.

Favorite movies	Gone with the Wind, Hope and Glory, all the Harry Potters, It's A Wonderful Life, and Elf

Favorite books	To Kill a Mockingbird, Martha Grimes mysteries, Agatha Christie mysteries, Yarn Harlot, Maeve Binchy

Which do you prefer and why: whittling with soap or whistling with wood?

I prefer whistling with wood, because I don't like to whittle.
