1.My play name as a little girl was always "Shasta"...I know, scary, right?
2. Patience is NOT one of my great virtues.
3. I have never been stung by a bee.
4. I have compassion for others and am typically non-judgmental. I cannot, however, stand whining or a victim mentality.
5. I am 100% German but created a Latin fitness program called Latin Blaze®. So, either German’s have hidden talents that are not well known or (as a few are convinced) someone, somewhere in my family had a little fling…hard to tell! ;)
6. I went on exchange to England my junior year in college and at the end traveled to 10 countries in 4 weeks (complete whirlwind of newness every day-LOVED IT!).
7. My favorite place, hands down, was Rome, Italy. We met a group of local boys that day and communicated without a common language. Fun, exciting (hey, maybe I’m Italian?).
8. My favorite coffee drink is an Iced Triple Breve Latte with Stevia!
9. I eat chocolate pretty much every day of my life.
10. I am a native Coloradoan. All I have to say is…if you live here and are not from here….LEARN TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW OR GET OUT OF THE WAY!  (See #2)
11. I am a kinesthetic person! I enjoy life by experiencing it throughout my whole body and by movement. I learned this little lesson when I broke my foot 2 years ago. I need to be able to ACTIVELY engage in my surroundings and environment!
12. I HAVE TO workout…or I am a mean, mean person.
13. I love connecting on a deeper level…shallow is for sissies!
14. I love to relax on a week night cooking a great meal, drinking a glass of wine and blaring the music in my kitchen.
15. My long term memory is very sad. I have been told that I could go on vacation the same place every year and I wouldn’t even know it….so not nice….but sadly somewhat true.
16. Music moves my soul!
17. I am VERY analytical, but driven by my heart and soul…so although I can make logical choices they are sometimes overruled by passion!
18. I am an introvert. Yes, me. My mother raised me to be an extrovert and so I can easily do it and enjoy it…but at some point all the stimulation EXHAUSTS me and I need to be home to rejuvenate and get back to normal.
19. I'm not big on monotony.  For some reason it bores me. :)
20. In high school track I competed in the long jump and hurdles…well I don’t know that I would really call it that, I was horrible. It is a good thing I have other talents.
21. I am never satisfied with average. I want to be at the top of whatever I am doing. I remember one job I was working as an Admin. Assistant and the Account Exe.s were going out on their own and wanted me to come work for them as an assistant. I thought…seriously? I want your job, I don’t have any intention of remaining an assistant.
22. I learned from personal experience that July is monsoon season in Mexico.
23. I CANNOT STAND someone standing over me and chewing loudly in my ear!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, you know who you are....just stop the insanity!!!
24. I cannot watch scary movies or the news.
25. I need outlets to let loose and blow off steam. Dancing (it’s not a party unless it includes dancing…kinesthetic, remember), a good glass of wine, alone time, working out, certain TV shows, hanging out with God.
