my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?: One foot in front of the other. I've never had a "5 Year Plan" or a vision for my life. I've just let it unfold organically. This is partially good, but I now feel drawn to having a clearer vision of what I want to co-create.
How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?: I'm feeling more genuine. I find myself more frequently saying "yes" to only what I want to say "yes" to...and I get from A to Z much faster...a lot less analyzing & a lot less B.S. I'm starting to feel much more in control of my life, in a good way...like I'm getting a clear grasp on what I want.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: Successful writer/entrepreneur, shuttling between a coastal home & a city pad...traveling, exploring, just having a total freakin' blast.

a postcard to my younger self

You survived and thrived while surrounded by chaos, pain, fear & violence. I know you wanted to stand up for yourself more, to not be so passive and "take it", but you were protecting yourself in the only way you knew. You are now strong and bold and vibrant. There is nothing to fear.
