Why did you join the project: My daughter gave me this for my birthday.

How did you feel about your portrait session: I was nervous at first and not used to being the person in the limelight, but it was a wonderful experience and very happy to have participated.

How do you feel about this current chapter of your life: I have become more comfortable with who I am, less concerned and influenced by other’s opinions of me … I live more enjoying and appreciating the many blessings I have … an amazing husband of 51 years and my three beautiful daughters and their wonderful families… a wonderful life.

What would you tell your younger self: I would tell my younger self …. always take the high road and you will have no regrets…. love more enjoying this present moment … be more forgiving, more accepting, more willing, less sensitive and Trust God has a plan… some days will be good and others will not but be brave and have courage to face heartbreak and happiness and know that you are loved just being you ….

Finish this sentence ... If I had to pick one word to describe how I try to live my life it would be.... with gratitude
