my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

Overlooked when I wasn't respected. Tried harder in every way I could to have the life I wished for.

 

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

Ten years ago I was still trying to be respected and cherished by working more than was humanly possible and overlooking the big holes in my marriage.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I wish I could say.  I can see nothing exciting.

a postcard to my younger self

You had an extremely hard time.  Daddy was a drinker,which brought violence both physical and verbal. you suffered through poverty, embarrassment, taunting and abuse from other children and the expectation from others that you wouldn't amount to a hill of beans. I'm so proud of you. You kept your head up and developed a fierce pride. You are beautiful and I'm incredibly happy that you are here with me.

my role models

The wonderful people who took me under their wing when I was a child and encouraged me while they helped me to learn new skills so I could earn money. The people who made a point to write letters of recommendation and letters of encouragement. My children,two very special friends.  They made me believe I was special when I was struggling to believe it. Without them, I would not be who I am today. My wonderful animals that I've been very lucky to have. They have taught me so much about respect and unending friendship. Any one who has loved me.
