I am a stubborn woman. In many ways, that is a good quality, but it is also a hindrance. I have thought about what I would have told my younger self if I had had the chance. I am not sure anything I would say to a younger, more impulsive, and idealistic me would make a difference. I would not have listened. I am from the school of hard knocks.

I don’t take anyone’s word for anything. Most assuredly, I would roll my eyes and do things the way I want anyway.
