50 over 50 2022 Edition

I noticed a change in myself prior to 50! I felt very comfortable in my 40s! My 40s was a feeling of renewal, strength while feeling so  carefree! I then embraced my 50s because my motto is there’s only one way and that is UP!!

I would give my younger self Sooooo much advice! I would tell her to embrace the changes as you age, take care of yourself first, educate yourself and pick a career where you can take care of yourself! Embrace the change because change is healthy! Don’t get caught up worrying about what people think about YOU! YOU are your own person and empower yourself to be the best you can be! Always Respect others, have a strong work ethic, and keep kindness in your heart  especially for others who are less fortunate! 

I hope they would see honesty, compassion, kindness, happiness and a fun-loving ME!!

I am married to my amazing husband Gene and we have 2 wonderful and handsome grown sons. We enjoy our time together as a family w many activities. We stay very active and enjoy fine cuisine and wine! My husband is a fabulous cook while I do sides and enjoy baking.  All this, has been handed down to our sons who enjoy the art of cooking esp Italian food!  

I am most proud of my 2 sons Nick and Jason. I am also proud of my husband and myself for putting the time into the many years of their baseball careers! This spanned from age 5 through their college years!  Our entire life was committed to baseball! Also,  raising them to be independent, fine young men!

Spending time w my family always! My weekly visits w my 88 year old mother keeps me very happy and fills my heart w joy! When she’s happy, I’m happy! Also, spending tropical vacations w my best friend Josephine and my sister Patti!

I love to ice skate and roller skate!  I am a calligraphy artist and enjoy fashion!  I will always help anyone pick out a fashionable outfit for any occasion. I love to help others whether young or old…. feel more capable and confident!!!
