Being a mother is the most challenging and rewarding career for a woman. I was a working mother for 22 years, and I did it all to help my husband support our three children who have all become physicians. I declined opportunities to advance in my professional career because I opted to devote plenty of time to my children. It was enough that I was at work while they were at school, and I saw to it that I would be home promptly after 5:00 PM, so that I could attend to their needs and well being. It has paid off because all three children are already well situated, and I was able to retire at 58.
Who says retirement is boring? I have written two children's books, and was in the process of writing a Memoir, when a more challenging project came along. I am now the Vice President of a China-based manufacturing company and I am very much involved in worldwide marketing.
I would very much like to appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show and introduce this unique and innovative technology that my company has developed for the cycling industry.

Wow, this is a very inspiring story. I hope you do write a memoir about it all one day, despite how busy you are with your current career. I'm sure I could have opportunities beyond what I'm doing now, but my kids are so small that I want to be the one raising them - not a daycare. So, I'll wait for the time to be right and then I'll allow things to blossom the way they should. Thanks for the inspiration!

I am a cyclist myself and I am intrigued by this "unique and innovative technology" that your company has developed for the cycling industry.
I am not an entrepreneur nor a business man so my interest is purely from the cyclist point of view. I have been a mountain biker for quite sometime now and I also bike commute daily. I do this as my contribution to the worldwide efforts of halting global warming and the prevention or at least the lessening of environmental pollution in our locale.
Congratulations for having raised up 3 wonderful and productive children! I hope to do the same with my kids.
