What are your thoughts on aging?

Aging is a blessing. At this age we have so much wisdom to share and potential to positively impact so many lives.

How is your age group relevant?

We have decades of growth and life experiences to share with other women. We need to lift each other up and support one another.

Younger women, might think that it's scary getting older. What wonderful things can women look forward to at your age?

Aging is a blessing. There are many women not fortunate enough, maybe for medical reasons, that do not make it to 40s or older. Embrace aging and be comfortable in your skin. It really is a beautiful thing.

Share tips on how you celebrate yourself, what you do for fun, and self-care.

I’ve been into Pilates for about two years … addicted to it.  I’m a member of Club Pilates in Ward Village. It helps with stress relief, core strength, and muscle toning!  I have never felt stronger and more confident about my aging body.  At this age, I am self-conscious about taking care of my skin.  I wish I had taken better care of my skin growing up.  One of the self-care, easy-to-do items I ignored was using sunscreen.  It is so important to look youthful.

I’m also a foodie!  I love trying new foods.  Living here, I love the variety of Asian cuisines! My favorite ramen is Beefy Wild at Kamitoku Ramen in Ward Village.  I also love the lobster rolls and fries at Fat Cheeks, and in Ward Village.  Two of my favorite food trucks are Jenny’s and Big Wave Shrimp Truck.

What would you tell your 14-year-old self?

Ha! My 14 year old self thought she knew it all. I would tell myself that my parents actually know what they are talking about and know what’s best. They truly want the best for their children and love us unconditionally.
