40 right questions (Giveaway!)

Last week I stumbled upon a wonderful article on Marc and Angel's site - an article asking 40 breathtaking questions, you can read it here.

Since the questions are all amazing - I have decided to answer them and at the same time to do a little contest (my first!). Pick 2 questions: one that you have no trouble answering (the answer will simply pop into your mind) and the question that leaves you wondering and you need to search long and carefully inside yourself to find the answer.

Leave a comment with the 2 questions (you can leave the answers too, but it's not needed) and on Monday, March 12th I will randomly pick a winner. What would you win? Your choice of the blue and gold Shambhala bracelet (if you prefer other colour combination, let me know and I'll try to find the proper beads!) or an Angel drop (set on chain).

[Note: I have changed the bracelet to the turquoise one, since everyone seems to be in love with it :) It won't be the exact same beads, but it will be turquoise on black cord]

For more chances to win, see below and enter as many times as you can.
