How did you get to where you are now?

By making a lot of mistakes and learning from each one.

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

I'd rather say how I see myself differently since age 50.  I am more inclined to live from vision, rather than from circumstances.  I am not a victim to anyone or anything.  I choose my reality.  I am powerful.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Even more of the above. 

Ah, I've already written about finding my diary from when I was 13.  I think I'll post that on this site!

Different women have inspired me for different reason throughout my life.  My mother and my Then Husband's mother were models of what it means to go through life with an open heart, in the face of great trauma.
