Share Your World (September 29, 2025)

Posted on by Astrid

Hi everyone. When I saw today’s questions for Share Your World, I immediately felt like writing a response. Here are the questions and my answers.

1.  If you could be a flower or a plant, what would you be and why?
There are just so many I could choose from. I could choose lavender for its calming properties and because it’s purple, but someone else already chose that one. After some thought, I decided to go with the Cananga odorata tree (also known as ylang ylang). I absolutely love the scent of its essential oil, which is also calming. I also think it’d be cool to grow fast. The tree is also good for feeding many birds.

2.  Do you believe in magic?
I think so, yes. I’m quite spiritual even though I’m not religious and, besides, even without spirituality, there are the many wonders of nature.

3.   Do you believe in Karma?
Not in its fundamentalist form, because that would mean I somehow brought it onto myself that I’m disabled for something I did in a past life. I think in general, no, I don’t believe in it, but in some specific ways it’s common sense.

4.   Do you live in a community spirited neighbourhood?
I live in an institution, not a neighborhood, so not sure how to answer this question. I mean, yes, there are many institution-wide activities and, when residents and staff from different homes see each other out on grounds, we tend to chat. The staff also help each other out when in need, but I’m not sure that’s out of a sense of community.

      1. I had to go just a few minutes ago to look up what the tree & flower looked like. There were pretty yellow flowers, and the scent was described really well, like a yummy dessert or something, I don’t know. But, you made a great choice! 🙂

      1. I think I would wish for a comfortable lifetime income that would not impact my fibro… I know I can’t work a job, but still getting the income would have me set for life at a comfortable level without the strings of EVERYBODY trying to be your best friend as soon as the millions hit. The chance to have my dream house built on a large patch of land far enough away from neighbors to have some privacy – worst thing about city life is the wall to wall houses. The last one is harder. I could help my family, I could find a cure for cancer or any number of other diseases and disabilities, stopping all war, banning all weapons (they would probably still find some way to fight each other), there are any worthy charities, but if there was a loop hole… I would wish for more wishes I think, three only is not enough to “fix” the world.
