Please post your visual stories here. Please tell me your goals, obstacles, and hobbies. Use a metaphor or simile to describe these too.
My goals are clouds; they are having children with my husband, getting tenure, and publishing my third book.
My obstacles are mountains, and they have been: losing both of my parents as an undergraduate student, having custody of my niece and nephew, and juggling two jobs while I finished my Ph.D.
My hobbies are a stream beneath the mountains. They are: reading, watching movies, writing, volunteering, participating in a weekly Bible study group, growing plants, and playing with my 100 pound Lab named Missy.
Now, tell me about yourself!
