In a crossroads place right now, many changes in the air and want to make the best my situation. 

Divorced with teen sons, job hunting and will be moving soon.  Send prayers.  :-)

I've been a teacher most of my adult life, also a bit of an entrepreneur. 

I enjoy online networks, have created some 60 web pages at Squidoo and also like to blog.

my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

Not planned, THAT'S for sure... Gave birth to two beautiful sons who are now teens and ... not so sweet anymore.  Left full-time teaching career when they were young, now trying to return and finding that difficult.  Ugly divorce recently, have managed fairly well through many challenges and most days am able to retain a positive outlook.

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

More independant and self-reliant, less trusting.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Living on a warm beach!  With George Clooney!

"With the usual information overload of the internet being mostly the written word, Pinterest is a delightful contrast.  One can't help but enjoy the visual delight of images and the freedom to 'pin' to online boards our own personal collections.  I..." (read comment)

""Marrying for money is like a form of prostitution in the psychological sense. It would establish an unhealthy dominance of one over the other." YES!  Believe in love and live with him if you like, all good.  What reason IS there to m..." (read comment)

"I don't consider marriage to be 'necessary' these days at any age, and for a woman in her 50s?  Think twice, ladies.   My ex legally took huge amounts of money from me, and unless you not only have a pren-up but also keep all financial accounts se..." (read comment)
