Annette, celebrating 60 fabulous years with the Your Face, Your Story Project.
I caught up with Annette yesterday via zoom as Annette will be travelling from Brisbane for her Your Face, Your Story Project. Annette will meet her long-term friend Michele in Tenterfield and make a weekend of it as both of them celebrate themselves and their friendship with the Your Face, Your Story Project.
I have enjoyed meeting every single one of the women doing this project, but I was particularly excited with Annette as she was number 40!!!! This means over the last 2 months I have met, chatted with, and planned 40 special shoots which is amazing!!!
Annette and I had a lovely catch-up, shooting the breeze for 1/2 an hour or so. Annette has quite a different perspective from many in the project as she has never married or had children so it was interesting to talk to her about her views on ageing, the fact that family is not always blood-related and the strongest relations can be with those who we choose to be our family.
I asked Annette if she could go back in time and talk to her younger self what she would say and she replied, "To be more outgoing and believe more in your own abilities."
Annette is looking forward to stepping out of her comfort zone with the Your Face, Your Story Project and celebrating herself, just the way she is. Which is beautiful and I am really looking forward to her shoot later in the year.
The Your Face, Your Story Project is an inspiration project celebrating the lives of 40 women over 40 and challenging the stereotypes of women and ageing.
I look forward to sharing these amazing faces and stories in the coming months.
