From Tina Sloan – AGING WITH STYLE AND GRACE
“No one knows more about the necessity of reinvention than an actress being shoved offstage. I went from sexy star of the show, to mother and then to grandmother of the star. I could give up or reinvent myself, and I chose to stay in the game.
I would love to share my secrets for not just surviving but thriving during the hilarious and, at times, devastating process of aging. Let’s all remain fabulous and frisky by staying in the game of life!”
If you haven’t read Tina’s book Changing Shoes, you are in for another treat. The book, is about staying in the game as you go through life. Diminishment and fading away are turned upside down with funny stories from, Guiding Light, the soap opera she was on for 26 years. Changing Shoes adds levity to the time of life when one can feel overlooked. Tina shows how to stay forever frisky in all areas of life —laughing and admitting her foibles as she goes.
