Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.
I’ve heard different people talking about how beautiful Banff is but I paid it no mind till this year. While wandering through Europe I saw so many mountains and I remembered how much I love mountains.
I’ve been obsessed with water which is my first love in an “elemental” sense but I think 2024 will be my hiking through the mountains year. I also hope to be able to do yoga at the top of a mountain one day but I think first I should visit Banff.
If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?
If I could make my pet understand anything it would be to be quiet and not so scared of everything. She barks at the pegions that sometimes sit on the balcony which is fine but she also barks at all dogs on our walks and when there’s someone passing by our door. In an apartment that’s quite a lot of barks and let’s not forget the daily postman bark. I’ve tried to teach her too “talk” and “be quiet” but I probably haven’t been as dedicated as I should but one day I hope I’ll say quiet and she will understand.
Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.
It apparently means “who is like the Lord” or “who resembles the Lord” but I’m not sure if it was picked by my parents first the meaning or they just liked it. I don’t have a middle name although I do have a song by the Beetles with my name. I also loved Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion movie even though they spelt my name 😑 😊.
When I was little my pet names were mich-mich, michelin tire in UK it’s usually Chelle/Shelly and more recently many people have taken to Michelle Obama when they hear my name but my family just call me Michy pronounced mee-shii.
The strangest spelling of my name I’ve seen is Mishel and for some reason my grandfather spells it Mitchell. I have a niece named after me but they call her Mimi which is what my mums side of the family calls me. It’s always fun to hear someone is called Michelle and give them the one l or two l’s look 👀.
Apparently my lucky number is 4 but in reality I think 13 is my number and apparently it can mean “as fair as the Lord” which I think I like and agree with more than “like the Lord”.
My dream job has evolved from something specific to a little set of ideals and hopes which are as follows:
It must involve travel and ideally first class travel. Shallow I know but I love travelling and any job that incorporates that would be wonderful
It involves reading and sharing what I’ve found. I don’t necessarily wish to write about what I’ve read but I do wish to discuss it
I would love for it to be closer to home. Everyday I long for working and living in Zimbabwe or somewhere that is not 23 hours away by flight.
It should help people in mind. I think an element is to teach but I don’t think I wish to be a teacher in the traditional sense but I do think I have some knowledge to share
It should have wonderful colleagues not perfect but people you can have a nice chat over lunch with. I have learnt who you work with is almost always as important as what you do
Finally it should allow me to control my own time and location as long as I accomplish the required tasks in a satisfactory manner
