As a woman in her upper 50s, I feel I embrace my age and bring natural beauty and spirit to the fore in our discussion of how women age.
We would like to thank you for supporting Jenelle Valentine Davenport in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love the beautiful wisdom and self-acceptance that comes with age. I love the ability to start new chapters in life, having learned from previous ones. I love the increased ability to forgive and to renew and live life to the fullest.
How do you stay fabulous?I embrace joy and the essence of dreaming and being in the moment as we navigate the realities of our lives. Tomorrow isn’t promised, so as we make plans for it, I feel it is important to enjoy the NOW. Art and writing help me express the stories and dreams that have accumulated over the years, and help me remember those who have come before me. Remembering their strength, resilience, and Love of Life brings a smile to my face every day!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would first remember my mother who passed away of breast cancer, then gift my daughters, son and grandchildren with some self-care items, and then I would take my husband who also deserves the best of me, and we would retreat on vacation and show each other the love and grace of time together. I’d get us a new wardrobe, too. Lol.
