Key to Knowing Yourself

I want to get to you and everyone in the Global Cowgirl community. So, from time to time, I’m going to ask you a question that will let me get to know you…and may let you get to know yourself a bit better.

As it’s New Year’s, a time when many of us take stock of ourselves and our lives, I’d want to ask you this question: “If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?”

It’s a question that my old boss, Barbara Walters, was famous for asking Katharine Hepburn and made Barbara the butt of a lot of jokes that hurt her feelings. However, I love this question. When people really give the question some thought, it tells me a lot about them. Like the man who said, “I’d be a pecan tree, because it gives off a lot of shade. I want to be a shady place for people to come when life gets bit too hot for them.” (He worked for a non-profit charity. No shock there.)

So, please, email me your answer to this question at thecowgirl@global-cowgirl.com. I’ll be using some of your answers in this blog. And, or course, you can always post your thoughts in the Comments to this blog.
