Leila always hated the question: so what do you do for fun? As a mom of three (+1 dog), business owner, college professor, board/council/committee member, and community advocate, she struggled to answer this question with any real conviction.

After years of racing around with others as a priority, for the first time Leila is telling her kids “I’m important, too.” And as she heads towards a certain age (in her words!)–one that thinks backward instead of forward–and a body that creaks instead of cranks, she’s realizing that it’s the healthiest thing she could have ever done.
