What are your thoughts on aging?

I would hear a bunch of comments from others that when turning 35 your metabolism and body slows down. I didn't want to believe any statements that people would discuss about aging, so I ignored the fact until I reached 40. Compared to being thirty-five climbing up to forty plus is a different story.

Aging is very interesting and I'm not scared, but question it. The experience my body is going through from head to toe is changing. I was in denial about accepting gray hairs that appeared every day.

I am also passionate about working out and keeping my body toned. I experienced these past months that I am not a kid that can get injured and jump back on my wheels again. I am learning to embrace aging and to listen to my body.

I am the type of person who keeps busy and eager to keep going.

How is your age group relevant?

My age group is relevant by experience and knowledgeable with skills.  The beauty in us can be powerful in many ways if we embrace it.

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

We still can go out there and experience being young in many ways. Like this photo project, keeping healthy with supplements, keeping fit, staying in fashion, and never stop loving yourself no matter how your age is climbing.

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