Geet’s Questions

What are your opinions on my (Geet’s Society) blog? – I love your site!! I am always empowered and inspired after reading your beautiful work! I love how you take big topics and explain them in a simple and authentically YOU way. I feel very lucky to have found you and your incredible spirit!!

How would you describe yourself as? – I am a fearless and free soul, athlete, writer, dreamer and creator.

What made you realize you wanted to be a blogger? – In 2020, I had this drive to create and get my voice out there. So, I originally was sharing quotes and poems on a small platform. And then I got censored a lot, even once for an image that only said, “Love Yourself”. It was kind of crazy to me, but it all worked out. I started craving a place where I could truly be free, and this blog was born! It has blossomed into something I had never dreamed of and I am eternally grateful.

What’s your favorite sport? Why do you like it? – Tennis!! I am a competitive tennis player and have been playing for 12 years. I love the game because whenever I play, I get to experience the zone. The zone is that flow where thinking disappears, all distractions evaporate, and you lean into the adrenaline of every moment. It’s the zone where you feel most at home, most alive and most free. And I am addicted to it 😊

What song speaks to you the most? – Tough question!! Alamo – Alec Benjamin or Intuition – Maejor. Note – I love these songs, but they’re not my favorite, more so what speaks to me.

What’s the one thing that you miss when you were little? – My brother and I used to play restaurant in our play kitchen with our stuffed animals. We’d spend countless hours “cooking” and “serving” away!! It would be cool to go back to that me and experience it one more time.

What is a quality in yourself that you hate? – I don’t hate anything about myself, I love who I am and who I’m becoming. But, I am working on overthinking. It’s gotten so much better over the years, but still a nagging thing in my mind. I keep learning and I know my intuition is all I need to listen to.

How do you practice self care in your worst days? – I talk out loud to the Universe (me) and rely on my foundation that always reminds me “all is meant to be and always ok.”

What are your pet peeves? – This is weird, but the sound of metal on metal really drives me crazy.

Which one has been your most favorite post on your blog so far? – Omg, I have no idea!! I could go on and on about my favorites. If I had to choose one right now, it would be: more than a word. It was my first spoken word and I truly had to be fearless and free in releasing it. And the feedback was just beyond touching and amazing, something I never dreamed of.

What do you do in your free time, when you’re bored? – Listen to music, create, daydream, sleep or talk to a friend.

Anushka’s Questions

What is the best thing about my blog? (Anushka Stories) – Your poems!! I absolutely love your poems and the meaning, depth, imagery, beauty and dreamy flows you create! You are so talented and just such a beautiful creator!

What is your favorite character in a story book? – Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games)

Who do you love the most? And why? – My family because they are my forever team, and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without them; I am so grateful we walk this journey together.

Would you rather help a person or ask a person for help? – I’d definitely rather help a person.

Mention some weird things you usually do? – I think for myself, I daydream, I don’t see limitations, I live beyond labels and I have out loud conversations with the Universe.

Do you like reading in the library or would you like to read online? – I’d rather read in the library but my first choice would be in my cozy orbit chair!

Filarance’s Questions

What’s your favorite recipe? – Oh boy, this is impossible to answer! I love to cook and have too many favorites. Some of my favorite recipes can be found in my virtual cookbook, Acing The Kitchen.

How important is your blog for you? – Very important! It’s a place where I can fulfill my purpose, be fearless and free and express my deepest thoughts/wonders/dreams. It’s also where I get to connect with so many amazing friends, I will always be truly grateful for that.

Did you meet an old friend recently? – Yes, actually.

How happy are you today? – Very happy! Authentically happy!
