my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

I went to The School of Hard Knocks. I didn't graduate so I had to redo each class. Hmmmm, If I only knew then what I know now.

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

I have slowed down more. I am learning how not to take things personally, and have stopped sweating the small stuff. I am HERE AND NOW...

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I will listen more, talk less. Love more, be more compassionate and understanding. Be at peace with whatever comes my way...

In 10 years from now, I hope to have visited many countries. Explored many a culture, and met a wonderful authenic man who is my best friend.

You silly girl, don't be in such a hurry for everything... 

  • Continue to march to the beat of your own drummer.
  • Don't take yourself so seriously.
  • Laugh more
  • Love unconditionally 
  • Don't rush into finding a guy, take your time and find your best friend. Someone who is your best friend, not your best lover... Although, both is good :)
  • Don't forget to eat your vegatables and take good care of your body. Years from now you will be glad you did.
  • Slow down and enjoy the ride. It is about the journey, not the destination...
  • Have fun and don't be afraid of new experienceS around the corner.
  • Know where you are is where you need to be, RIGHT NOW...

"I am glad to read your post Debi. As we age many try to turn back the hands of time, instead of gracefully growing older. I for one think trying to look like I am still 20 or 30 something isn't my thing. While I think it is important to maintain your..." (read comment)

"Yes, self-examination is needed for us to make any necessary changes to move forward. I too loved that movie La, Vie En Rose, but she had so much pain. The make-up, the smile, the abuse, all to hide the pain...." (read comment)

"Someday I will get that shirt that says, I don't do drama. I have a few mantras that I use often, one is: "I choose not to react," and "what other people think of me is none of my business." When we let go of the inner dialog, and let go of the s..." (read comment)
