Mrs. Indiana International®

Vickie Hines

1.Tell us a funny story about a date night out with your husband.
The time I spend volunteering as a certified life coach is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Helping my clients turn negative thoughts and actions into positive life changes is nothing short of small miracles for them as well as me.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your kitchen and why?
My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Millican, is my hero. She is the wisest and most non-judgemental person I know. Her unique ability to bring out the best in others has had a profound effect on me, and I use what she taught me in my life coaching.

3.What do people assume about you that isn’t true?
When I was a young girl, my aunt took me to an Elvis concert. During his performance, Elvis handed me a white scarf, but another fan took it from me. He then handed me a blue one which I still own and continue to treasure.

4.Tell us a time you demonstrated leadership skills.
My daddy nicknamed me Princess because that is what I am to him. Growing up on a ranch, I often did not feel like a princess because the work was hard and dirty. I have since learned being a princess is a matter of the heart.

5.If you had no fear, what would you try?
Winter is my favorite season. There is nothing more beautiful than snow covering the fields and trees on our ranch. With a warm fire going in the fireplace, our home is a cozy, inviting retreat from the outside cold. Hot apple cider, anyone?
