my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?: Hard work, took my degree at night school while working full-time every day and that meant taking courses in the summer months as well as working all summer to complete all of this.
How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?: More mature, calm, less concerned about what (nasty) people think or negative comments made to me about me. That is all a waste of time and I feel more free now to be myself and be confident.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: Definitely still contributing to my community and actively involved with the hard working people in it. Very involved with my children who will be just finished university at that time and will still need guidance into their own careers and adult life.

a postcard to my younger self

Be outgoing and go full force after what you want. Do not shrink away, or let people throw you off course.

my role models

Barbara Streisand - very strong woman

Barack Obama - has some sort of unexplainable charisma that I truly admire and respect

"Its information overload; I am exactly like you and don't know what the answer is other than to realize that life will never be as neat and tidy and organized as when we were single working women! There's just so much more to do, even at menopa..." (read comment)
