Name: Kim
Age/Birthday: 29
Previously stamped as: The World, Vishuddha, Libra, Pig, Life Path 1, Mercury Line, Emerald, Pale Yellow
1. What are some of your positive traits? intelligent, loyal, accepting, geeky, true, merry, imaginative, listening, idealistic, bookish, poised
2. What are some of your negative traits? critical, impatient, afraid, shy, picky
3. What dreams, ambitions, and/or goals do you have for your future?
I'd love to be a published fantasy novelist, and someday I'd love to be married and have kids. But mostly I want to be joyful in my life. I may not be happy all the time, and my life may follow some unforeseen paths, but I want, at the end of it, to look back and feel satisfied---proud---of the life I've lived, of the person I became in that life.
4. What do you do when you are stressed?
I read---engaging in a story allows me to escape for a while. Or I vent the stress into words by writing or talking with family or friends. And if I'm really desperate, I'll go walking or running...or try a little primal scream therapy in the muffled quiet of my closet.
5. When you envision a peaceful environment, what image comes to your mind?
Sunlight, warmth, the wind moving through a grassy field or rustling the trees on the bank of a rocky stream.
6. If you were granted one wish, what would it be?
Most wishes that come immediately to mind are the usual money, true love, success type, but I kind of like experiencing and fighting for those things on my own. So if I had only one wish, I think I'd actually like the ability to speak the local language the moment I cross over into a non-English-speaking area. There are so many places I'd like to travel, but I won't because I don't speak the language.
7. Pick the ideas and emotions that appeal to you:
[x] Beginning
[x] Strength
[x] Courage
[x] Joy
[ ] Youth

[ ] Adventure
[ ] Wishes
[ ] Success
[x] Intuition
8. How do you feel about love?
I feel it's essential. Varied in richness and depth. Real. It's complex, impossible to completely understand. At its best, we are at *our* best, and even at its worst, it cannot be entirely corrupted. I've never been in love, and maybe I never will be, but I've been loved and do love, and I find those loves give me strength.
9. What element best represents you?
Air. Independent. By turns playful and fierce, gentle and persistent. Whimsical, curious, and elusive. Assured.
10. What is your biggest strength (just one)
My faith. I'm talking about the God-related faith, in particular, but that faith enables me to have faith in most other things. People. Hope. Myself. It draws out the best in who I am and tempers the worst.
11. What is your biggest weakness (again just one)
My pride. While it can boost my confidence and assure me of my abilities, it can also push me into criticism. Mostly of myself---all the things I do wrong or badly---but I can be pretty disparaging of others, as well, especially others' intelligence and/or competence.
12. What's your favorite color? Why?
Peacock blue. Perhaps because it's so changeable, shifting from a blue-violet to a deep teal depending on the light and the angle. It's startling and subtle and rich.
13. Now, what color do you feel best represents you? Why?
A lustrous silvery-grey. It's subtle, soft, strong, and no matter how self-contained it appears, it holds and reflects light. As much as I'd sometimes like to claim to be a vibrant blue or a leaf green or a deep, wine red, those colors are more reflective of moments in my life: they play over me, lights dancing on the pale grey screen of my self.
14. What is your life currently like? Are you happy?
I have a job I enjoy. I'm surrounded by family I love very much. I've a strong group of friends I'm coming to know better. There are certainly aspects of my life that aren't quite where I'd like them to be, but I'm of the opinion that happiness is, in many situations, a choice. I choose to focus on the good things, look for opportunities to improve, and try to revel in my life, looking through the moments that frustrate, anger, and hurt me to the person I want to be beyond them.
