Why did you join the project: I thought it would be fun.  I am so glad I did it

How did you feel about your portrait session: I felt beautiful and pampered

How do you feel about this current chapter of your life:   No matter how old you are you are still learning, even about yourself.  I have surprised myself of how I have handled situations with compassion and love in the recent past.  Not how I would have handled it 5-10 years ago.  I feel I am the best version of my self as of today and I plan on continuing on that path. 

What would you tell your younger self: Don’t take things for granted: little moments, big moments, time, loved ones, pets. Time passes so quickly and you can not go back, take it all in.  Make sure you have more moments that make you proud of who you are /were than not proud moments. Try to not live with any regrets, make all decisions from your heart. If there comes a time where it is not right for you, you will not regret it as you tried. 

Finish this sentence ... If I had to pick one word to describe how I try to live my life it would be….I am picking 2.  Honest and loving
