Meet Sue - 55 years old
I am proud to be a 55 year old woman who has lived throughout the Midwest for most of my life. I love the deep traditions of family and community.
There is also a lot to learn by leaving the environment you grew up in, getting to deeply know those different from you, other cultures and traditions. As someone who loves to travel, I find great satisfaction in being a person who lives in the world, not just in the city limits of Cape Girardeau. Seeing things from another’s point of view brings deep compassion and understanding of which we need more of all the time.
I am proud of my children, proud of my extensive education as well as my profession as a Counselor. I love helping people, it has been my passion as long as I can remember. I’m very proud that I bought a small business in Cape (Yoga East Healing Arts Studio), tripled its size, community impact, and revenue, and successfully sold it so it can continue to grow and serve. Yoga is a valuable tool for living and it is truly my secret weapon in growing older with grace, stamina, health and peace in my life.
Life has taught me that change is the only constant and to get use to it. Yoga and meditation helps me manage that.
Beauty on the inside is more important than on the outside, and a nice outfit and a good hair day can boost anyone’s confidence!
Deanna Arevalo does an amazing job of capturing the essence of a person and this portrait is no different. I am colorful, strong, confident, and at peace with my life over 50!
