When in doubt, wear red.

Who knew that Bill Blass would be right!
The truth is that I’m a 66 year old woman. I
had a VERY severe stroke 2 ½ years ago. Miraculously, I made a 100% recovery. I wake up every morning and say, “Thank you, I’ve made another day”.
These words were spoken every morning by my father, and now it’s me who’s
keeping them alive.
I was dying to get back to work. For 30 years I
was a Communications Manager/Change Management Leader working on contract for
banks and insurance companies. Unfortunately, COVID ended that for me. When
banks and insurance companies are looking for people to work on contract, they
are looking for MUCH younger people who they can pay much less than they were
paying me. So, I applied for my pension and still do some work for some old
clients.
I really wanted to give something back to people
who have suffered strokes, so I was lucky enough to be hired to do volunteer
work for the Aphasia Institute. If you’re interested, please read the previous
blog.
So, here I am doing a little work and volunteer
work, when I got a text from a photographer (that I know) who wanted to know if I was available
for a photoshoot for a recruitment company. I thought that it was a joke! But
no, it was for real and there was pay involved. Needless to say, I said YES!!!!
It was great fun! I was in the shoot for 30
minutes and the photos apparently turned out WONDERFUL! I’ve only seen one and
here it is.
So now, I’m officially a model at 66 years old!
If anyone has more gigs for me, I’m available!
Life isn’t perfect
but your outfit can be.
