I'd like to see that as we age, our uniqueness and our individuality is not only recognised, but celebrated. I don't think if I live to one-hundred I'm ever going to squeeze in all the good things that are out there for me to do, And what does it mean if I'm a little older? Do I have to stop having all that fun? Being older is an absolute blessing because you made it. It’s wonderful. And there’s so much out there for you to enjoy.
