4.    Home and Roots

·      What was my childhood home like?

·      Looking back, what did I need the most that I got from my childhood home? What did I need the most that I did NOT get from my childhood home?

·      What is most important for me to feel “at home” now?

·      Describe the “nest” from which I emerge every day. What sort of substance/environment do I need to feel most nourished?

·      If I were a tree, what would the condition of my roots be now?

10.  Public Persona, Career, Contribution to the World

·      How do my peers describe me?

·      When I walk through a crowded space, what stands out about me?

·      If I were a tree, how would the condition of my branches and limbs be?

• Even if I didn’t get paid, what would be the 1 thing I would do as a service to others no matter what?
