my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

I am home due to a disability called fibromyalgia.  I left my workplace 10 years ago.  I have had many careers but left as a Social Worker.  A fab job but took a lot out of me.

We raised our children in a rural area doing the normal sports etc.

Two children live near us and one an hour away.  I love having them so close.  We spend a lot of time with our grands...what a delight they are.

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

I thought I would be a Social Worker helping people everyday & making a positive change in this world.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Golden years...travelling, seeing the world, downsizing, loving my hubby in a 'retirement' mode, spending more time with my family & just loving each moment of every day.

a postcard to my younger self

Spread your wings, fly, grow, trust, love, make mistakes, no fear, live life to its fullest everyday.

GIVE what you never got.
