22 random facts about me ❤️❤️

I was thinking it might be fun to share some random things about me.. I talk a lot, and share a lot.. So you may already know many of these… Maybe I don’t really have anything random to share.. I guess we’ll see:)  Enjoy – SDJ

1. I drink chai tea every morning… Literally every morning. It’s my favorite tea. In a pinch, I can do English breakfast. Both English style. I use to also drink iced tea, but two years ago, I woke up one morning and my body said no more iced tea.. I haven’t had any since.
2. I have an eye “thing”. I can’t have people touching my eye.. Eye doctors, makeup artists, it makes me freaky. I always wanted to wear contacts but I can’t even put the in my own eyes.
   

   

3. I love to sing. That’s not real random…. Most people know that but I’m kinda crazy about it.. Like I’m always singing or will burst out in song wherever I am. I know the lyrics to an unusual amount of sounds so I can pull from many genres too. It’s a gift… that not everyone around me enjoys hearing 🙂 🙂  AND I LOVE that even more 🙂
4. I lost one whole shoe size after having my two kids. As usual, things work the opposite for me in my life. Many women’s feet grow after children, mine shrunk.
5. I’m not physically flexible. People think because I “look” trim and healthy that I’m a yoga lover, and I do love it.. But I am not flexible in my body. I even worked with a trainer for 9 months on specifically flexibility… I still can barely reach my knees. Seriously!!
6. I love the sun. Another maybe not so random thing…but with a name like Sunny Dawn (yes, my given name) how could I not… I literally feel disconnected or down if I don’t see the sun for days on end.
7. I have what many would call unusually good luck.. I don’t believe in luck. I say, I expect great things to happen… and they do.
8. I have over 100 moles on my body… My cousin And I counted them once when I was 13.. Maybe I have even more as I have gotten older, I know i have some age spots to add but I haven’t had the interest in counting. When I was a child I hated them, I thought they were ugly. Now I appreciate them as unique aspects of me😃
9. I lived in the Philippines for 4 years when I was young.  It still has an impact in me to this day. I believe it is why I love foreign travel and have a hearts desire to help those in need.
10. The unconditional love of my husband helped me to heal parts of me I didn’t even know needed healing. He is my greatest cheerleader and sometimes critic… and my personality needs both.
11. Someday soon, I plan to go to the beach. It’s one of my favorite places to be.
    

    

12.  I am blessed to have a Hubby that cooks most of our meals. We joke about that fact that I cooked for the first fifteen years of our marriage, he gets to cook for the second fifteen years. Since we are at year number twenty three… we have a little bit of time but will need to find someone to take on the next fifteen years… And longer hopefully😬😬
13. I use to love to go shopping. Now, I can’t stand it.. It feels to me like a waste of precious time now.. I simply don’t enjoy it. The good thing is, it wasn’t really healthy for me… A way to feel good when I wasn’t. It wasn’t quite an addiction, but certainly a distraction from life.
14. I had written this entire blog in Sedona, on my iPad, and I saved it three times… after doing all 22. This is where it saved… number 14. It cut off 11 of my facts… Here’s a fact for ya…  sometimes technology pisses me off.. Especially when this happened… TWICE!!!!!!! I redid them twice, and it deleted them TWICE!! AT least I’m consistent i guess???
15. I’m home from Sedona now, and rewriting my random thoughts that don’t feel so random now, and I got pissed all over again…. I suppose I could be grateful that it didn’t delete them all… but, right now, in this moment.. I’m NOT! 🙂 🙂 🙂

16. 

    
    I’ve been a vegetarian for over 20 years, and I LOVE, love, love Salads 🙂
17. I was asked recently on a panel I participated in… what secret or dream I had that I hadn’t shared with anyone. It was hard to find something that no one knew.. So instead i shared something that not many know. My guidance has been very strong to begin sharing and talking about the things that no one wants to talk about, to help free our hearts and minds of shame and guilt associated with outdated, unloving and judgmental perceptions. In the coming weeks, months and years I intend to be an even greater voice that helps people to heal. If you missed my blog last week, this is an example of talking about the real stuff.
18. The soundtrack of my life is Carole King. Growing up, she was playing on the stereo system almost every day of my life…. like literally everyday. I didn’t really like her when i was young, but in my teens i started reading her lyrics and realized how profound they were and she was. She was way ahead of her time and I LOVE the message in her music. My mom is her greatest fan.
19. I LOVE to do random crazy things… like go up to someone at a restaurant and ask them if I can taste their food, to see if I like it, before I order it on the menu. Yes, I am completely sober when I do this:)  Its always fun. I LOVE the reactions I get… most of the time anyway. My friends and family are usually very embarrassed, but even though people are shocked at first, they are usually open and willing to share:) Try it out 🙂
20. I don’t sleep a lot… five to six hours average. It’s probably not as much as my body would like… and I am not much for napping… However, when I am tired, I will fall asleep, mid-sentence… wherever I am. Sitting up or laying down, when I am out.. I am out.
    

    

21. When I was 23, I was the top supervisor in the now out-of-business company, House of Lloyd/Christmas Around the World. Do you remember it? It was a party plan company. I had hired more than double what anyone else had ever hired and they asked  me to speak and share my secrets at our black tie dinner event on our all expenses paid Caribbean cruise… in front of 1500 of my colleagues. I was so nervous that I threw up for 2 days before, had to stay in the cabin in the dark… and when it finally came time, they called my name to come on stage… and I was in the bathroom, throwing up! I HATED public speaking. If I can get over it, you can too:) BTW, I got up on that stage, freshly puked out.. and shared all my secrets.. the next year… everyone’s business grew, and mine did not, because I gave it all away. Many people told me not too, but..it felt like the right thing to do:)
22. My favorite number is 11 or anything divisible by it.. thus, there are 22 random facts about me. I hope you enjoyed them.. I would love to hear your thoughts, comments or a random fact about you:)
