As I get older, I’ve come to many realizations. With my body changing and the digits of each birthday rising, it’s become clear that I’m well past the halfway marker of my life. This scares me. Am I supposed to be at the highest achievement point now, where all my goals have been met and I can proudly announce to the world that I have arrived? I must have missed the handing out of the life handbook with all the “how-to and by-when” chapters. So, in the meantime, I’m doing me. While I have no control over most things that go on around me, I know that I am definitely the captain of my own ship—and I’d better steer it in the right direction! Can a middle-aged woman with many optical imperfections become a model? But really, the deeper question is: Can we be whatever we set our minds and intentions to be? The answer is yes. Absolutely. About three years ago, I had the idea to Google “mature model agencies near me.” There was no moment of hesitation, because when I ...
A lot of things are going thru my mind tonight. Most of the time we stay at camp grounds or State parks. Tonight we happen to be en 'route to our next destination and are staying the night at a halfway point. I am sitting here in a Walmart parking lot looking out my livingroom window, not far from Lake Tahoe in Nevada on this beautiful sunny September afternoon.

A close and caring friend of the family wrote us this beautiful letter not too long ago, and how true it is! "Dear Ulrike and Joe, You are now seeing Phase One of your new life more clearly. It's the Discovery Phase wherein you begi...
Our Love Story The story of Joe and I began in October 2013 at a dance hall called " The Carriage Stop ". My friend and I were regulars there on the occasional Saturday, when they were having dance lessons. It was my friends birthday. After the lessons we had plans to go to a small local country bar called " Mill Hill Saloon ", https://m.csindy.com/coloradosprings/blooms-mill-hill-saloon/Location?oid=1146714 just up the road to celebrate a bit. We had just met Joe and started chatting with him, so my friend decided to ask him if he wanted to come along. And he did. We ended up talking all evening and when it was time to go home, we said the usual good-bye's, the "nice to meet you's" and that was it. So I thought. Months later Joe told me, that at some point, days later, a little voice inside of him told him to try and find me. After researching the very little that he knew about me on the internet, he c...
