hi, wow reading your accomplishments. I salute you! You have been always right to be who you are now, your new freedom and what you love and believe. I wish I could be like you. I sometimes think I am in a box, limited but someday I will know where my heart is. I am not as smart and witty like my husband. But, I know I have what it takes to be a working mother , wife, girlfriend,sister having wonderful and talented kids which is for me consider it my second career. I have simple dreams and simple wishes. I lost touch with my spiritual side which I believe is the most important part of me. Have to be focus on where I am strongest. And continue to grow inside out. I hope I will find myself.
Thanks, Dana. It wasn’t easy, getting to this point in life. Somehow, when you pour your whole self into what you do, you create a momentum that just keeps you going and when you let yourself be driven by that, you just don’t know where you’ll end up! Life is full of surprises, isn’t it?
