my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

I still cant grasp that I am HERE, meaning, the time flew and it was quite a ride and I am still reliving all that my life has been and will be and it plays like a movie!!

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

Well, 10 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, today I am cancer free. I learned everything I know today during that journey. I see the world differently.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Sitting in a diner in some small town in New Mexico, taking the back roads across the west with my husband, sending postcards and tourquois earrings home to my by then 10 year old granddaughter.

 

a postcard to my younger self

Just wait till you see where you are, where you ended up and that it all turned out okay. There were bumps in the road, it rained often, but the sun was worth the wait. Cant wait to see you!
