Hello MJ

I’ve always loved the SI swimsuit edition and never dreamed I had a chance to appear in your magazine. I remember when Christie Brinkley was featured with her daughters at age 63 and I thought wow, she’s so gorgeous but ... she’s a lifelong model and she’s been featured many times before.

Then, last year, Kathy Jacobs was a finalist at age 56! She looked incredible and I remember thinking, what an inspiration! This week, I turned 65 and I’ve lied about my age since I was 30! I thought about what I’d like to achieve in the next year and this is it ... I want to tell the world my true age while wearing a swimsuit as one of your oldest SI swimsuit finalists!

Now to find a great swimsuit and a photographer to help me make my submission video!

How Fun is this platform! I don't want it to ever end. @ketonekellz @MJ Day

Hello @MJ Day .. I am so happy to be here and I hope to meet you one day ! This is a very positive and empowering experience 🤗
Lately my posts have not been uploading on the community wall. It is only showing my title without the photo and text showing. I noticed this with a couple other girls as well. Is that a glitch? If not, can you please advise what I can do. Thank you so much! I don't know who else to ask ;-) 🙏

SO EXCITED! Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to be apart of something truly inspiring! :)

Thank you @MJ Day for allowing me to be on this incredible platform! I keep pinching myself.. I still can't believe I'm here! 🙏🤗
Maintaining confidence is something that always needs a boost. I found if I repeat these 8 points in the mirror as part of my daily ritual, it HELPS a lot!!
I hope it's ok that I share it here ;-)))) (I call it 'Mirror Work.")

8 POWERFUL WAYS YOU CAN RESTORE YOUR CONFIDENCE

1. Go out of your way to get out of your comfort zone. ...
2. Adopt a positive outlook and a noble cause. ...
3. Get up one more time than you have fallen. ...
4. Become as well-informed as you can. ...
5. Don't let perfectionism stop you from trying. ...
6. Look the part, feel more assured.
7. Trust your instincts, go with your gut

8. Don't let your past define your future -- that's #8 -- and most important! 👍🏼 
   

So now go out and conquer the world!!!! We are all capable of anything we set our minds to ! 🦋 Leslie Carleton IG: leslie333_fit4life

Thanks again!!

@MJ Day I would love to represent all the teachers out there! This school year has been extremely challenging, especially being a 1st year Elementary Teacher. I'd like to shine a light on how important educators are. I would love to highlight all the hard work teachers across America have put in as front line workers during this pandemic.
