my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

Through a long journey that wound around the Hills of the Approval-seeker; through the Valley of Loss and over the Great Wall of Denial.

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

I'm stronger, more content & confident, with my dreams arrayed before me.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

An accomplished author, speaker and philanthropist who has built wealth for herself and her family and created foundations in support of others.

a postcard to my younger self

Let your heart out; it yearns to caress life. Living cannot be contained solely within the cranium; it bursts from the breast, soars through the ether, plunges into the depths of the sea.

Live life unafraid. Unafraid of living through the heart; unafraid of what others may say; unafraid of following your own course.
