New Chapter!

My Name is Ann Baker. I am an over 50 model. Yes, you read that correctly. Over 50. 55 as of tomorrow to be exact. Happy Birthday to me. I celebrate this new chapter in my life by returning to my roots as a model. I spent my childhood and adulthood modeling between other obligations and life events. I was taken out of rotation in life (or benched to use a sporting term) by God when remission to my lifelong Mast Cell Disease fell off. It hit me like a bomb. (More on this in later articles). So, fast forward to today, I am renewing myself. I fully believe even YOU can renew your life. It is NEVER too late to live your dreams. So, how did I get here and what caused me to renew my dreams? The answer is simple. I wasn't willing to die the way the doctors told me I was "supposed to". "My Story will NOT end this way" was what I told the General Practitioner. Luckily, she heard what I said and led me to resources about holistic foods and supplements. We have worked together to develop a lifestyle that works for my particular Mast Cell Disease and here I am. Ready to take on the world. It seems easy, doesn't it? It was the opposite. Just as most think modeling is an easy career. I hear "You are a model! That must be nice!" and "WOW! I wish I could be a model and not have this hard job". etc., I have heard them all and I send love to each person who crosses my path with those thoughts. The truth is being a model is a lot of effort, time and work and planning and networking and marketing, and then, more work. It's my business! I am the CEO of ME! Climbing from a 6-year near death period with Mast Cell Disease was a similar process, believe it or not. I had to do the work! I had to research, read, find experts, network, work on trial and error, revisit experts, take one small step at a time. It took a year and a half to climb out, so you could say really it was a 7.5-year survival road. It taught me a lot. I spend much time preparing myself for death. I had to make a mind shift to decide screw it, my story does not end this way. Then I had to prepare myself for living. Hopefully this inspires you to want to learn more. Hopefully, my story as it unfolds will encourage you. Hopefully, you will see the human spirit is stronger than what this world wants from us. I am taking back what was taken from me. I am a model and a businesswoman, and I'll continue to blog on various topics related to my story. Enjoy the ride and thank you for reading this and allowing me to share my life travels with you. With all the love I can muster, Ann Baker, Model. www.Ann-Baker.com Instagram @AnnBakerModel Photographer:me!
