Making Each Day Count
How do you fill your days and what are you passionate about?
With my clients. I am passionate about delivering an amazing experience and delivering more than I promise. I also love volunteering at my local food pantry. It’s easy to count blessings when exposed to others struggling to survive.
Please tell us a little about who you are today, as a fierce woman after forty.
I am making sure each day counts. When I was younger, it felt like life would have endless days but through life experience and the loss of my twin, I’ve been sobered to realize tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
A Fierce After Forty Woman
What does the word ‘fierce’ mean to you?
It means I don’t have to say yes to everything. That I only need to say yes to what makes me happy.
What are you proud of yourself for overcoming in your life?
I am proud that after being beaten down I have realized champions, adjusted, and I have not only overcome but I’ve learned to ‘struggle well.’
What have you learned about yourself and life since entering your current decade of life?
I have learned that this is the youngest I’ll ever be. I wasted too many years worrying about how I look rather than how I feel.
Lessons to Future Generations
What do you want others to know about what it means to be a woman over forty?
It means that after 40 you can be your own voice, stand up for yourself, and feel free to make all your own decisions.
What does it mean to you to be a part of a photography project highlighting the beauty and strength of women over forty?
It’s so empowering to let go of all your inhibitions and to feel as beautiful as you look.
What do your Spark Session photographs say about you?
I believe it says that I CAN do this. That I am worthy of such a beautiful experience. That serving myself is just as important as serving others.
