A little introspection...
To me, being successful means...
happiness, both personally and professionally
My definition of success has not changed over time.
My greatest accomplishment to date and what I’ve learned from it
being a mom to two wonderful kids, and I continue to learn from them every day
My biggest mistake or regret so far and what I’ve learned from it
i regret putting my kids into the same Palo Alto school system that my husband and I both went through. Things here changed so much from when we were kids, became such a stressful mess. I wish we had not come "home" to raise our kids.
