my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

If there has been an easy way to get something done or a hard way - I've done it the hard way every time. I am where I am now because of a strong work ethic, sheer determination, a supportive and loving family - and the good Lord just looks after me. I owe everything to Him.

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

I am more confident and not very concerned about what others think of me. I am happy with myself although I'm not satisfied with every part of my life. I listen more than I talk; I make better decisions; I laugh at myself more.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I see myself writing, teaching, working...I don't see myself slowing down.

a postcard to my younger self

You know the blonde boy, blue eyes, curly hair in your 12th grade homeroom????

Don't.

You know the older guy, smooth talker, big fancy car?

Don't.

You know the younger guy, likes the Who, really smart but can't get in out of the rain??

Don't.

Remember your dreams of singing and writing and traveling and laughing and dressing up?

Do.

Gained some weight…but the fashion world isn’t helping

Posted in fashion & beauty on May 18, 2012
My daughter freaked out because she was in a size 16 and I freaked out because I couldn't fit in a 16. Shouldn't fashion designers be making beautiful clothes for ME, the consumer, not asking me to change based on some ridiculous fantasy of the perfect body?read more »

Posted in love & sex on May 16, 2012
I have sifted through literally hundreds of online profiles. This is enough to make me run screaming back to my ex husband. I think I need a break.read more »

Dating again…well sort of

Posted in love & sex on May 06, 2012
Dating again...well sort of. I think this form of dating, where I am dating them but they don't know it, might be safer than actually putting myself out there.read more »
