Enjoy travel and activities you love while your body is strong. I regret not keeping in better shape as I got older.

What's your craziest adventure story from your younger years? LIFE!

How have you made self care a priority while being so selfless?

I found out very young that when I scrubbed floors, cleaned toilets, had a clean house and when I was cleaned and groomed and had my hair done. I just feel better about myself.

What is something you would have pursued if you had the opportunity? Looking back I wished that I had gone to law school. What is still on your bucket list?

What is essential to living a happy life that not many people talk about?

Keep a positive attitude. Know that nothing is permanent. Realize that each day and each challenge is just another lesson in life. Embrace each day.
