The level of freedom I have in forging my own path. Breast cancer tried to kill me last year and the lightness I feel, the depth of new emotions that have surfaced, are priceless. The opportunity to imprint on my grandchildren is a joy. I have found such purity in the openness of their minds. I have been on a journey of saying YES to anything~ In 2024, I flew in a biplane! I had target practice from helicopter! I went to Alaska! I rode horses in WY! I walked in an NYC fashion show! 💎

As a 20 year Army retiree and 100% disabled veteran, I use my experiences to mentor young women. I lift them up, guide them by example and remind them of their innate strengths as women. It's a REVOLUTION and an EVOLUTION! I use my leadership skills and life skills to engage with and improve the planet. As a member of Team Rubicon Disaster Relief organization, I embrace people at their most vulnerable and difficult moments and lighten their load.

I will share with the Flat Out Love non-profit, founded by Lissa Sears, whose mission is spreading awareness/advocacy and normalizing living flat after mastectomy . I will share with The Grace Project, by the fine art photographer Charise Isis, which captures the courage, beauty and grace of those who have had mastectomy surgery. I will set my grandchildren up with an education fund and take them to Disneyland!
