How great it is to finally feel comfortable in your own skin! How wonderful to have come to grips with the idea that I am a quilt – made up of many things; sometimes they seem opposing but, in fact, they are complimentary. It's not only OK but it is great to be: smart, successful, ambitious, tough when need be, curious, nurturing, sensitive, passionate and a whole lot more.

Relish this age. We made it. Survived babies, career hurdles, good and bad partners. It's our time to bask in the sun and share what we know with not only our peers but the generation behind us.

My children…my work…the theater…a fabulous discount on some designer something I just had to have!

Starting over. My core values never change and I wish I could say the same about my weight. I believe we can reinvent ourselves and that that’s the best way to handle change.
