I grew up in a strong faith-based family. I think I have selected to return to those roots for strength, for my family, for myself and to protect our children and to forgive others and move on and face forward.
Yes, I wear a number of hats. But my most important title is mom and wife.
Even when you've made mistakes in life, you can still contribute and pick up the stuff and move on.
I think it is important for working moms to recognize that family is the most important.
I introduced myself to then-Lieutenant General Petraeus and told him about my research interests; he gave me his card and offered to put me in touch with other researchers and service members working on the same issues.
