“I believe women over 50 are just hitting their prime years. They have so much to offer to the world and I hope they are aware of their incredible potential. I appreciate and admire the supportive and inspiring women that I surround myself with today.”<\/p>\n\n\n

But today she’s better at practicing self-care. “Self-care helps me to be the best version of myself and keeps me positive. One of my favorite activities that I do for myself is walking my dog in the beautiful countryside of New Hampshire.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Also, my step-grandmother was incredibly loving and accepting. She was as kind to me as she was to her birth grandchildren. She was also a fabulous baker of all things delicious.”<\/p>\n\n\n

I am especially grateful for my husband of 60 years, my four children, five grandchildren, and my Circle Program<\/a> mentee, who brings a sparkle to my life.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sharon’s husband, Doug, joined her at the end of her portrait session, because it had been a very long time since they had portraits together.<\/p>\n\n\n When asked what effect she hopes to have on the world, Sharon referred to her long career as a nurse. She said, “My desire to become a nurse was to show kindness and compassion to those in need, and I hope I have accomplished that goal.” She also has a passion for doing what she can to correct climate change, and animal welfare also a concern for her. “I have rescued and loved many animals.”<\/p>\n\n\n Book Your Portrait Experience for The Over 50 Revolution 2024!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are a woman over the age of fifty, “The Over 50 Revolution” is for you.
