When I married, my husband was the opposite. He would get angry when I would say, “I can’t”. When we had children, he told them that the word “can’t” wouldn’t be used in our house.

Slowly I began to do the things I never had done. I became active in community theatre. I learned to sew and began to do costuming. My already existing vintage collection began to grow and grow. It became a passion.

I studied astrology intensely and became a professional astrologer. I began college at age 39 and got an associates degree in radio and television production. Later when we moved to Iowa, I drove 100 miles round trip to the University of South Dakota every day where I studied Professional Acting. When I auditoned for “Antigone”, the long time professor who was directing, stated that I had the greatest speaking voice he had heard in his career at USD. I discovered I had a talent for dialects.

I could tell many other stories, but suffice it to say I am unique because I went from not “wanting” to do anything to wanting to do everything. I still have many “wants to do” at the age of 71. I was widowed at 50, but at 54 married another exceptional man who has supported my many “want to do’s”. He supports my search for vintage clothing to the point of renting three storage units to house my collection. Together, he and I have traveled to foreign countries, performed in plays, built a black box theatre in an old post office, and been active grandparents in our combined families. Even though I have had to deal with a lot if illness, I consider my life to have been fabulous, interesting and fulfilling. I “want” everyone to be brave and experience as much in their lives as possible. Never say “can’t”.

I consider my self to be extremely creative ranging from crafting to being the go to at work to figure out most things..Its nice to be appreciated for that creativity! =D

I am unique because I don’t let other people’s perception define me. One is never too old to follow their passion. Now is always the right time to follow your dreams. The first step is always the hard part but if you don’t take that first step, you will always have that nagging question….what if?

Thank you, Sammy!

On that note, I’m unique because of my passion for my dreams and my willingness to work hard to make them a reality! Go hard or go home!

Love ya lady!
