AGE: 61 and having fun!

PROFESSION: Life & Empowerment Coach

What is the best thing about being your age? The badassery of being comfortable in my own skin - of trusting the power of my thoughts and intuition – of forging ahead and knowing my mission. It took me a long time to get here, and nothing will stand in my way. Kindly step aside – I’ve got sh#$ to do.

What is your idea of perfect happiness? Being and feeling at peace.

What do you most value in your friends? Their compassionate, loving hearts.

What is your greatest extravagance? Truly allowing myself to rest when I need to – I mean total down-days where I do nothing except binge-watch Grey’s Anatomy and eat popcorn and frozen Snicker’s bars – and maybe some protein. It doesn’t happen very often; however, it’s very clear to me when it’s needed. After I indulge in this way, I then start fresh the next day, refreshed and mission-focused. So, that and an occasional massage.

What is a trait you are most proud of? My capacity to love deeply and to freely communicate and express that love. The future isn’t promised, and it’s important to me to let people know they are loved, and to do my best to embody love as I walk through my life. Every little bit helps.

What is your motto or favorite quote? Two of my faves:
Put a grain of boldness into everything you do. ~Baltasar Gracian

Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better. ~Maya Angelou

Words of wisdom to younger women
Know thy self. Take the time to do the inner work, to heal what needs to be healed, and allow yourself to authentically emerge – true to your heart. Find your courage, find your voice, and speak your truth even if your voice shakes.

Whatever you’re dreaming of, GO FOR IT!!

Take up space, dance it out, trust your intuition, love your body, be silly, get the massage, stay curious, eat the cupcake, enjoy the journey!!

Additional thoughts...
It’s a privilege to be here and to have made it this far. I feel a responsibility to make the most of my time here as this life truly is a gift.
