Sometimes, I can’t believe I’m 54. Sure, I’m a proud Gen X’er, and I get that I’m older-ish—but honestly, being in my 50s still feels surreal. I recently heard someone say, “Even though I’m this age, I still feel the same mentally as I did when I was young.” That really resonated with me. Physically, maybe not all the time, but overall, I think, feel, and act more like someone in their 30s than someone in their 50s.

Yesterday at work, a few people complimented me on how pretty I looked. I was having a good hair day (see the picture above for proof!). I told them - “not bad for 54!” 😅

“Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been."

— David Bowie

It’s a beautiful reminder that growing older is a journey of self-discovery and authenticity.✨

“What you decide to tolerate more than once will inevitably become a pattern that will repeat itself.

By not setting clear boundaries, you teach others –and yourself– that certain behaviors or situations are acceptable, even if they make you uncomfortable or harm you.

Every time you allow something that goes against your principles or your well being, you open the door for it to be repeated. Setting boundaries isn't just about firmness, it's about self respect. "

- Johnny Depp

If Americans are willing to reelect Trump after everything he's said in just the past three months, there's nothing Harris could have done...except be a man. Nothing.

Good luck for you and your country. As a European, I don't understand how it could have come this far. All this hatred, these contradictions, the media battle and all the rest. To me it comes across as if there are no winners, only losers. Hopefully common sense will take over and the "orange man" will not become your president again. Good luck in the near future. Jan

“Hopefully”…

I’m hopeful, but not entirely convinced that we’ve stopped being a racist misogynist county enough to win. But I’m absolutely keeping the faith. 💙 thanks so much for your note! 🤗

Costa Rica

As I get ready to travel next week... I was thinking about my trip to Costa Rica a few years ago. I absolutely loved Costa Rica and the people. Such a beautiful country and their people are as well. If you’ve ever wanted to go, I highly recommend!

They have lovely small villages and of course churches in each with really beautiful gardens. This is in Zarcera, Costa Rica.

I learned a lot about their local agriculture and the coffee industry is their largest export.

The birds and wildlife were amazing... I took way too many photos!

The Macaws in Costa Rica were incredible! highlight of the trip for me in Jaco Costa Rica. I’ve never seen wild macaws just flying around like that before or anywhere else.

Definitely visit Costa Rica if you get a chance! 🖤

Thinking about Cuba ❤️

Cubas dance scene is pretty eclectic. This dance school does contemporary, hip hop and ballet to name a few. It was a beautiful show. 💃

Cuba did not disappoint… 🥰🇨🇺
