Birthday Suit

Birthday Suit

Let’s talk about why I’m so damn fine…

When I started modeling at 30, I was told to lie about my age. But, it never felt right. So, the lying never stuck. I have lots of girl friends who are 26 and 27 born in 1981 (it’s 2014!), but that’s never been me. I’m 33 today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!) and I don’t miss my 20s. I have earned my 30+ years and what I have learned I would never trade. Every year I get better, and Better, and BETTER!

My secret?

There IS a fountain of youth. I have found it! It’s called living EVERYDAY BETTER doing what you love… A life filled with passion, fun, fitness, nutrition and love! It’s about staying a child when society tells you it’s time to “grow up.” Society’s definition of “grownup” is skewed. To the masses, “growing up” means falling in line, doing as they do, working, “succeeding”, amounting money, collecting things. That is no life.

What does aging this way do? Just look around you. It makes you fat, tired and lazy. That kind of life makes you sick. You look pale. You look old. Do you have diabetes? Are you stiff? How’s your back?

GET OFF THE HAMSTER WHEEL! When you live to make money, you will miss out on everything! The moment. THIS VERY MOMENT. This life. Look up. Look around you. What do you see? Is you see beauty? The sky? The mountains? The ocean? Or… Are you bathed in fluorescent light? Are you sitting at a desk? An office? A cubicle? Do you feel empowered? Are you proud of the life you have built? Remember, YOU are the architect of your life, the writer of your script, the painter of your picture. Are you happy?

So tonight, in honor of my birthday, please join me in this toast:

Cheers to aging backwards, and to the good things in life, which are free!
Together in Health, in Life, in Love!
