Q1. What did you want to be growing up?

My early childhood was spent in London.  My parents said I always responded, “When I grow up, I want to be Queen.”

When we lived in Antwerp, a teacher wrote my parents a letter. She thought I would grow up to be an entomologist because I loved bugs.

When we moved to Texas, I wanted to be a barrel racer.

Q2. Tell us all about you and the story of how you have gotten to this point in your life?  

“This point” in my life has come quickly. I blinked and decades flew by.  But, I got to this point day by day.  Time passing so quickly has taught me all we really have is now.

Our concept of time is an illusion. We think we have this day, this moment, this nanosecond. But all we really have is “now”.

I’ve tried to live each moment to the best of my abilities. Some days have been good, others not so much.

Life has unfolded for me one day at a time, like pages in a book. Only now, I don’t try to purchase the Cliff Notes version of the Book of Life. I watch it unfold page by page, chapter by chapter because there is simply no use skipping to the end to see what eventually happens!

I’ve also begun viewing life as the thing you experience while trying to reach a goal. Life is not about the goal itself. The goal is often incidental. The true value is in the pursuit. This is where the living is done because of the challenges, people you meet and experiences you have while trying to reach a goal.

You asked about me. There is nothing much to say about me other than I’m just another person on this planet that happens to be living at the same time as you. Sometimes I think it is so odd that we are all like a bunch of ants, spinning on a blue orb that is hurling a million miles through space.

Think about it, it puts everything in perspective.

We are all lost in time as is everything, just ask Ozymandias. The only thing that really matters is how you affect others, good or bad, while you are here NOW.

Q3.  What do you think are the three biggest mistakes women make when it comes to achieving their goals?

  1. Not taking time to clearly visualize the steps it will take to achieve a goal.
  2. Spreading your energy too wide and without focus.
  3. Being afraid to ask for help when needed.

Q4.  What is one of your most treasured accomplishments?

I don’t know if I have a most treasured accomplishment. I know what I wish it was. I wish I took more time and better care of my grandparents when they were aging.  This is probably my single, biggest regret in life.

Q5.  Tell how you process workload stress or personal stress or just too much coming at you at one time?

I just take it day by day.  In the past, I would look at everything in the week and it seemed overwhelming.

Now, if the workload seems like too much to look at for a day, I take it by the hour.  And if this is too much, I look at it by the half hour. I break down time to the most easily digestible increment.

Even if you are just looking at the next minute in front of you, that is still okay… and don’t forget to breathe.

I also like to be alone.  I re-energize this way and I never feel “lonely”.  Time alone is important to think your own thoughts, especially when you are not alone often.

Q6. Do you have any beauty secrets?

Sleep. If you don’t get the proper amount of sleep, it will show. And all the spackling in the world won’t hide the fact you looked tired.

Q7.  Do you believe there is some sort of pattern or formula to becoming successful, you are killing it?

Success is built by smaller successes.  Each day try to achieve five smaller things towards your bigger goal.  Also, define what exactly “becoming successful” really is.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve redefined my definition of success.  This is not because I haven’t reached goals I’ve set for myself.  Rather, it is because I’m understanding more what is really important in this journey.

I’m realizing the smaller things are really the bigger things in life.  And all of the “successes” the world sees are not the things that make me feel successful.

Q8.  If you could speak to one woman from history, who would it be?

Eve. She ate from “The Tree of Knowledge”. Throughout history, women have been viewed as the origin of sin.  If I could speak to “Eve”, I’d tell her to shake off the blame that has been handed to women since the beginning of time.  I’m mean, come on, ya’ll!
