my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

Choices and chances and the generosity of friends, family, and champions who celebrate my successess with me and reach down a hand when I've fallen or temporarily lost my way.

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

Now I am very happy with where I am.  Ten years ago I was still struggling to fit other people's molds of who I should be.  I judged myself by other people's lives.  Now, I simply do not judge myself or others.  I live each day and enjoy what it brings to me whether that be a day of rest or an exciting new adventure.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I can only imagine.....

a postcard to my younger self

Give Yourself A Break. You are good enough and smart enough, in fact you are fabulous! 

You are going to walk diverse paths and meet amazing people; do not slow your journey with conformity. It isn't worth it. 

Laugh, love, dance, and forgive every day!  Life is glorious! Embrace it without fear! You are gloriously loved!

my role models

People who inspire people to be better and reach higher.

People who provide roots by being champions for other people to dream and reach for their goals and dreams.

Posted in home & garden, work & money on December 23, 2009

As I look around my living/dining room area, I’m dismayed but chuckling.  It looks as if it has been hit by a tornado.  No, I don’t have small children. I’m writing 3…
