my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

I never gave up on any of my dreams even if they had to be put on hold while raising my large family. I became a professional writer at the age of 47 and opened up a chocolate business at 49. In my 50's, I started writing and performing comedy.

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

I have more self confidence than I did 10 years ago.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Living, laughing and loving life to the fullest!

a postcard to my younger self

Be spontaneous! Life is too short to miss out on adventures. The chores will always be there but the special moments will quickly pass. Live every day to the fullest and be joyful!

my role models

My Mother, Blanche Barnett Nevel, who taught me that is was OK to draw outside the lines. My Father, Joseph Alexander Nevel who showed me how to find the humor in everyday life.

Living With Claustrophobia

Posted in Debi Drecksler on January 19, 2012
I am claustrophobic. It all started 37 years ago, when I was confined in an elevator and couldn’t get out. I felt the walls caving in on me and I couldn’t breathe. read more »
