my VN interview

• How did you get to where you are now?

  We never really made a plan about working together although we talked a lot about writing a mission statement. We just put one foot in front of the other and, so far, it's been an exciting journey.

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

  More confident and willing to take risks in all sorts of ways. And we've tapped into our creativity by writing a book together. Since our kids left home we're actually working and playing harder.

• Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

  At the risk of sounding symbiotic, beaming at our grandsons' graduations, then dancing at their weddings. Traveling and watching sunsets with our husbands.

a postcard to my younger self

Stay connected and enjoy every moment - it may sound cliche but time really does fly. Find your passion and trust yourself to follow it.
