is this not a priviledge? my daughter and prospective of my life

I will update my blog  by Friday and it will be dedicated to the girl that changed my life in  a profound way.  I have not made this journey by myself but through the blessing of so many women around me that have helped me become my true self.  Like every parent in America, like myself, I feel our  children are truly our national treasure that should not be taken for granted.  That could not be any truer especially with my daughter Natalie. 

In many ways I have lived a privileged life.  I served in the marines corps and traveled to eight different countries by the time I was 24.  Then I attended and graduated from one of the best universities in the country.  That was followed by the privilege of raising my daughter until she was 18 years old.  Then at 50 with my life experiences behind me I was able to become the woman of my dreams.  Then add the opportunities to speak about my life experiences and my gender in a large public forum which helped  so many others.

discussion:
Is this not a privilege?

 but it is also sad that because I am different type of woman  I had to wait 50 years to be a woman and why?

Like the blonde says it is all about perceptions and prospective and I have been very fortunate in my life with the best yet to come.  I am like the energizer bunny and never quit. 

thank you
