Raising responsible children
Taking time out to have, nurture, and raise 3 children while supporting a highly successful, very intense, and driven husband has been the most challenging career one could ever imagine. The skillsets I acquired in corporate America contributed in scheduling, coordinating busy people, events and managing emotional and mental health. But no one could be fully prepared or equipped to master the art. Its still a work in progress but by the grace of God we've maintained it well and have stayed committed to a healthy balance.
