WOMEN OF ACCOMPLISHMENT 25th Edition

FOR BALANCE/STRESS RELIEF:
I tap dance every Thursday. I also perform in recitals even though I know I am part of the comic relief.

GUILTY PLEASURE: Dark chocolate – the more elegant the better!

MOST REWARDING PART OF CAREER: Resolving a divorce creatively so that each side gets more than they expected. If the parties respect each other when it's over, they will be better co-parents thereafter.

INSPIRATION: Seeing the people I mentor become successful.

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: I love to cook delicious, healthy food.

WANT TO LEARN NEXT: How to best share my experiences with my successors.

ULTIMATE 5 DINNER PARTY GUESTS: My husband, Jim; my sister, Patty; Professor Robert George, who inspires my son; Pope John XXIII; Eleanor Roosevelt.

WANTED TO BE WHEN GREW UP: The lone woman in my father's law school photo. I became the lawyer, but not the gorgeous blond.

LOOKING FORWARD TO: Becoming a rainmaker and making sure the community knows that we are a firm of high caliber, creative, bright lawyers who achieve an excellent deal without fracturing the family.

FOUND IN THE DICTIONARY UNDER THE WORD: Integrity.

NEXT ITEM IN BUCKET LIST: I'll soon be 60 and want to live 30 more years. My longevity depends on finding a personal balance so I have time for myself, those I love, and pursuing my ideals.
