I have four daughters. My oldest has grown up during a period when I worked for others and then myself. My second oldest was born 14 days after my resignation from my corporate America job became effective on January 2, 1996. So, she’s seen my life as an entrepreneur and business owner from day one. Those early years in business were hard, as they often are, and I became like ‘Cats in the Cradle‘ (the Harry Chapin song). Always busy, too much to do and not enough time, eaten up with stress and worry about many things. Then, in 2008, I made some changes and pursued what I do today. Writing and publishing. And that made a world of difference in having time for my family. The two youngest—twins I refer to as Alpha & Beta—have had more daily time with me as they grew up than their two older sisters… and much of it has been through my new lens as a writer. So, our conversations and kitchen table discussions—several times—have turned into a series of ‘stories.’
