My life is full of daily reminders of my goal to live a timeless lifestyle. I rise every day smiling back at this reflection, whispering to myself in a kind and patient voice, “Good day, Lady in the Mirror. Do you like what you see this morning?”

Now, to be honest, my day has not always started out this way. As someone with a long journey of living and achieving through adversity, some days are certainly better than others in my acceptance of this reflection. However, I’m always grateful for the simplest of things, even those over which I have no control. I am blessed to exist to embrace the love surrounding me, the comfort of shelter, complete health and wellness, an abundance of ongoing nourishment, and a daily awakening to the gift of this vessel I call “The Lady.”
