"This book gives insights into accepting the idea of having multiple careers and transitions throughout a lifespan and defintely helps in going to a deeper place within ourselves to make the best choice possible. To be a good storyteller, one has to be a good listener as well. So as you follow along this journey of unfolding life stories, you will be led gently down the various detours and bypasses, but will not be left standing alone at the crossroads, wondering which way to turn." " Over seven decades of life, patterns emerge. Everything changes and still, everything remains the same. Time defines these categories of life: twenty-three years as a student in preparation; three years as a Hazeltine Corporation underwater acoustical engineer working US Navy contracts; thirteen years as a Maryknoll Sister and missionary activity; sixteen years as a Boeing engineer/manager working US Air Force contracts; fourteen years in retirement as a budding genealogist engaged in elder care; and finally, the emergence of a genealogy expert and writer. With the closure of each category, one starts over, renewed and changed. Enjoy this delightful life's journey, as Kathleen unfolds the discovery of latent talents whose origins are most assuredly inherited through the genes of her ancestors."
