A little while ago, Michael D’Agostino, of A Life Examined, brought up the idea of a new blog hop called Question of the Month. He thinks blog readers would like to know a little more about us, the bloggers. So we’re all gathering to show you guys who we are by taking part in the Question of the Month blog hop. On the first Monday of each month, we answer the question that gets posted here.
*In a rush to start my vacation, I posted this a week early. Oops. 🙂 Now let’s see if I remember to come back and participate when everyone posts theirs.*
This month’s question is: What are three things that you’d do tomorrow if you weren’t blocked by fear?
I tried really hard to think of three things, but there aren’t many things I haven’t done because of fear. Most of the things I haven’t done have been due to circumstances and resources or a lack there of.
1. I’d tell certain people what I really think of them.
2. I’d leave my life behind and start over on a farm somewhere. My husband would, of course, be along for move. We’re tight like that.
In the words of Forrest Gump, “That’s all I have to say about that.”
Please check out the other participants in this hop and even join in if you’d like.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

I’ve nominated you for an award on my blog.
Thanks Squid. I’ll be sure to stop by and check it out.
Your first one is tough! But some people have it coming, right?
Yes, but I must still remember to conduct myself in such a way that doesn’t leave me with regrets.
I considered using that first one you listed. But I’ve mellowed as I aged. LOL I grew up on a farm and have no desire to go back. Too much work.
My grandfather use to have a farm and it was hard work. That’s not exactly what I in mind. I’d like to live on a hobby farm, with some small crops and live stock that aren’t my sole means of income.
Being able to tell people just what you think of them and no worry about the consequences is a good one!
Living on a farm would be nice. 🙂
Thanks. As far as telling people what I think of them, it’s not so much about “going off” as it is being really honest and telling people things they don’t want to heard about themselves.
I’ve seen a couple of bloggers mention the desire to live on a farm now. I like the setting, but man, that would be a lot of hard work.
Yeah, reall farm life is no joke, but I’m just wanting to get back to nature a bit and control what I’m eating.
Amen to telling people how you feel. As I get older it gets a lot easier. I seemed to have lost my filter. Lol.
If I can learn to refine my spoken words, as I do with written words, maybe I can say what I feel without burning bridges or starting wars.
I would love to see a video of you telling people what you really think of them because it would be epic. I can think of a few people myself 😉 Growing up in Brooklyn I always dreamed of living on a farm.So I feel you on that one.
I thought about making a video, but then decided against it. I don’t want to end up like Shia LaBeouf.
For someone who didn’t know what to say, you sure thought I’d something good.
Thanks. I guess it’s true. Sometimes less is more.
I really enjoy reading all the different responses. I am one of those that if I am aksed for an honest opinion, I will give it. If not, I try not to lie and instead try to not say anything at all. Lie by omission? 😉 For your second one, I would do that in a FLASH! Seriously!!
Sadly, I’ve pretty much been living the “Lie by omission” life for some time.
I dream of a simpler life; not necessariliy easier, just simpler.
I’d love to tell certain people what I think of them, but the result would be us having to drop everything and move away, haha
Yeah, I get that. The only question is how far is far enough.
