As a college student forty years ago, I had goals, plans and dreams and a belief that I would be able to meet them all. But circumstances are often unpredictable, and a straight path to dream fulfillment becomes a winding path, which can narrow, widen or switch back on itself. Sometimes it's paved with sadness and regret, sometimes with joy, confidence and laughter. So, despite those youthful intentions, my life has had many twists and turns. Now I am recapturing some of the idealism of those years, choosing opportunities to redefine my story. I know that sharing with women around the world in this forum will open the doors and windows of opportunity, and help me . . . .compose. . . . a life of meaning, giving and love. (Sound hokey? Yeah, probably a little.)
