Lisa Madras: We were born for greatness — if we can just figure out what to do
What do I love to practice? This is a hard question for someone with self-proclaimed ADD to answer. Now, please don't jump all over me for the attention deficit diagnosis.

Lisa Madras: What will you risk to create a special memory?
What potential memories am I bartering, and is the profit worth the price? In the late 1980s, CBS tried somewhat unsuccessfully to revive the “Twilight Zone” television series from the 1960s. As an early-onset nerd, I had teethed myself on the syndication of this show, and couldn't wait for the new series.

Lisa Madras: It’s never too late to ask, ‘Where am I wrong?’
Whenever somebody tells me I'm right, my usual response is, "Of course I'm right. I'm always right. The sooner you know that, the better off you'll be." I say this in jest, of course.

Lisa Madras: If laughter is the best medicine — then I’m a junkie ... LOL!
What's so funny? Don't you just love that when this particular question is usually posed, it's delivered as more of galled accusation than a serious inquiry?

Lisa Madras: When you get old like me, it’s time to trust your gut
What is my body telling me? If you had asked me this question just a short time ago, my response would have been something along the lines of, "What do I care? It's my MIND that matters."

Lisa Madras: I’m not perfect — really — so stop being so hard on yourself

Lisa Madras: I’ve got way too much junk in my trunk — how about you?
How much junk could a chic chick chuck if a chic chick could chuck junk? I don't even want to think about saying this one "five times fast," as the old childhood challenge goes. Because frankly, my time would be better spent actually chucking some junk.

Lisa Madras: Yes, I am a victim but it’s time to move forward
Last week, we asked ourselves how we wanted the world to be different because we're in it. This week, the question is reversed: How do we want to be different because we lived in this world?

Lisa Madras: Why am I here? Your guess is as good as mine
This week’s question: “How do I want the world to be different because I lived in it?” Wow, this is a tough one. If I had a penny for every time I asked myself this question, I'd have enough money to give millions to charity, and then I guess I'd know exactly what difference I was put on this earth to make.

Lisa Madras: Acts of kindness fuel true Christmas spirit
This week, I've decided to skip our question of the week to write about something that's been on my mind recently. I hope you all don't mind. Besides, who wants to do homework over the holidays anyhow?
