50 Things

I was talking to someone the other day that had been to one of those **very expensive** **self-improvement** seminars and she was laughing because she said the most valuable thing she got out of it was how much she humored herself when doing the seminar assignment.... "In ten minutes or less write down 50 things you would like people in this room to know about you." I thought that sounded fun, so I'll skip the pricey enrollment fee and the time spent sitting in the chair and throw it out here for the world to read:
