“Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead” -John Mayer.

Had I the time this week, I’d hunt for some great thinkers and philosophers who had much to say on this subject. Instead I was pulled into quite another direction.
.
There’s a regular online column in the UK’s Guardian Observer section that interviews famous somebodies and then publishes their “wisdom” under the headline: “This much I know”. As far as I know, I haven’t been hunted down by any Guardian editors, but here’s my spin on it. This week it helped to find some of *me*.
This much I know: Marisa Santoro
Noone ever got anywhere by being a one man army. Placing down the ego defense armor doesn’t make me less independent, it means I need help.
.
As humans we are creatures of habit. That poses a problem for my bucket list which holds a few dozen game changers at the moment.
.
The law of attraction holds everywhere in everything we’ve done. It’s why there’s really no room for regret.
.
Children don’t cost us money, they have us look in the mirror and ask : “What’s next?”
.
If I had the chance to open my own shop, it would be called “Atelier”; forming communion among creative spirits with sumptious prepared comfort food.
.
Everyone has a bizarre fetish they keep under the table. Mine is collecting doors – photos that is. The more rustic and bruised and paint chipped the better. I’d like to share a red door with someone one day. I’m still waiting for my red door whisperer.
.
If I had more time on my hands, I’d be working in a third world country teaching children to read.
.
Beach vacations are only good if you mix with the native villagers and learn their story. Isn’t it offensive otherwise to just borrow their land for thrills?
.
My Six words: Escape flight travel write to unite.
.
Interesting fact I’m curious about: They say it takes 21 days to unprogram any one of your bad habits. I’d love to unwire my Impatience.
.
Where my name came from: Marisa is originally from Spain and is a combination of Maria and Luisa.
.
I’m a sucker for, clever conversation. Billy Joel was all wrong. I need to work that hard.
The real deal at the Guardian: This much I know.Enough
