A Post Within a Post

I am not sure of the blogging etiquette for stealing someone else's post, but this one is from my dad, so I am pretty sure it is OK.

A bit about my parents and fearlessness...

My mother, now retired, was a partner in a large, national law firm.  She went back to school to puruse her degree in law when my sisters and I were in elementary school.  She took us to march for the ERA when I was just twelve and made it clear that my sisters and I  should always be capable of supporting ourselves in the lifestyle we choose.   Her influence in my professional career is part of the reason we are able to make the choices we can today.  In looking back, although she was younger than I am now, she too, made a huge change in her life and career.

When I was in middle schoool or early high school, my dad decided to pursue a career in art. That decision included quitting his medical practice at the same time.  (He did continue to work part time in medicine to keep us fed and clothed.)

From him, I learned to embrace what he calls "Windows of Opportunity."  Thanks, Dad.

Fast forward to today and I keep thinking lately, how there is a time for everything in our lives.  This post by my dad reaffirms the path our family is taking with the School of Rock.
