The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?
Meet Karen – her word for the 2023 BE Project is Joy
What word did you choose and why?
Joy
I lost my husband and I’m looking for joy in life again.
I chose the word joy because I lost my husband and I’m looking for the joy in life again. I want to travel the world. I had my hip replaced and I can now. I have a friend that lives in Philadelphia, maybe go visit my husband’s family in Iowa. I haven’t traveled much without my husband so I want to do more of this.
If you could go back and talk to a younger version of yourself, what would you say?
You did almost everything right. I had the best husband in the world. I made some good choices when I was too young to make choices. I did ok.
What advice would you give your daughter?
Second guess yourself sometimes. I think it’s necessary, but still follow your heart.
