As a Woman of Valor, what advice would you give to your younger self and do you follow this advice now?
My advice is don’t put your life on a certain time limit. Enjoy life and reach out for whatever you love to see and would like to enjoy. Yes, I do follow this advice because I used to be an introverted person and not want to participate in activities at all, but now I’m much more outgoing and enjoying life.
