1. If you could have dinner with any 2 people (living or not), who would they be?
William Shakespeare for his enormous creativity and ability to write prolifically. Mother Theresa for her boundless capacity for love, grace and wisdom.

2. What was the last book you read? What books do you love to recommend?
I am a voracious reader, reading everything from the latest business books to new age spirituality. My favorite book is The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. This book is the retelling of the Arthurian legends from the female perspective. For me it was a great eye-opener on the subject of perspective, illustrating how dramatically differing views can occur, and the benefit of looking at multiple sides of any issue.
