Laura Ratliff - People's Choice Winner

1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
I am grateful for God for sending me the love of my life, my husband Barton. He is my heart. Barton is honorable; caring, my love, my support, my confidante, my humor, and my hero, we are one. We are both on the same page always. I am grateful to be in partnership with you, and together we are shining our light for others all around the world.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
I want to see people connecting with love for one another at all times. I want to be that change in the world that sees no children living in poverty. I want to see all children around the world living in harmony, living with water, nutrition, play & energy. Children are our future, and together we can make a positive change, we just need to be the example, and be the love this world needs.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
Being in love, opening up your heart, and sharing it with the world. When you have your heart genuinely set on a goal that will benefit others in a life-changing way for years to come. Then once achieved, helping someone else achieve their goal is self-fulfillment. When you are so filled with love, you can help others to fill their; this is truly the best feeling in the world. Love.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
Our thoughts, beliefs, emotions and faith are what shapes our world and our experience we live in every day. When our thoughts are attached to positive emotions, combined with the belief in yourself and trust in God, that is how we create our dream life. Finding your true passions and giving back in a positive way will help the world be filled with light.

5.Describe the dirtiest job you have ever had to do?
The laughter of children. When children are playing in nature and using creativity to have fun, that is when the magic happens. Some lose sight of creativity later in life, and that is when struggles occur in life. Encouraging children to use their minds to create is how we keep our spirit alive and continue to live in a world where there is a human connection. Children laughing and playing truly makes my heart sing.
