In a world where you can be anything, what will you choose?

Destination. For me both personal and professional this year. As a woman that just turned 53, I feel like I’m not at the destination I saw myself in at 53. So now I have 12 months, well, 11 and a half months to get to my destination. It’s not going to be my final destination. It’s going to be my 53 year old me destination. And that’s health, happiness, and confidence in the woman that I worked very hard to become.

 

 

 

Who or what inspires you right now and how does that show up in your life

It’s not just one individual person. It’s more of the women in their 50 movement that I’m seeing, that I’m around, that are coming out and discovering themselves after being a full-time mom and kids are grown and gone. But if these women who are creating, starting small businesses, they inspire me. Because I see, like, they’re coming and going, and they inspire me.

 

What is one immediate action you can take to feel closer to your goals?

I’m going to start with cleansing my liver. So we’ve had some things come up. And my stents are holding well, but I have fatty liver from my, being a type 1 diabetic. Doing just a full-body cleanse is going to be my first point of destination. 

 

The BE Project with Beautiful Evolutions Photography

The BE Project was created in 2016.  Two crazy girls had an idea and it came to life on a napkin at lunch one day. They partnered with a local jeweler, Woolards Custom Jewelry and a beautiful necklace was created.  What began as a marketing campaign turned in to an annual photo project that has allowed people to share a word that is important to them and why that word guides them.  Each year, in January, the project opens back up for registrations.  One week is dedicated to photographing the incredible people that want to join us.  All images are black and white to keep from any distractions.  Just the human and their word.

Head over to THE BE Project page read some of the incredible stories that have been shared with us.
