Kimberly Brechka

Question: What advice would you give your younger self?

Kim’s Advice: “If I could go back and teach my younger self a few things it would be very simple: invest your money, buy real estate, stay out of the sun, and don't worry about what anyone else thinks about you, except you. Love yourself first and the rest will follow. Did I mention I'd buy more real estate? XO ” Realtor, Weichert Realtors, www.kimberlybrechka.com

Sandra C. Fava, Esq.

Question: What advice would you give your younger self?

Sandra’s advice: “There could be a list several pages long but here are a few things that would go at the top:”

· Be grateful for each day;

· Live life to the fullest;

· Perfection is the not goal nor is it reality;

· Life experiences, like travel, are so much more valuable than stuff;

· It will not always be easy, but I promise it will be worth it;

· Make yourself a priority;

· Never, ever let someone else’s opinion of you shape your thoughts or actions;

· Do all the things you are scared of;

· It feels like the end of the world, but it is just the beginning.
