People frequently have the misconception that they can no longer start new projects or realize their dreams as they get older. Nothing, however, could be more from the reality; initiative and willpower are all that are required.
A Brazilian woman named Aspasia D’Avila is proof of this. She made her first career entry at the age of over 90. At the age of 92, Aspasia made the decision to alter her life in 2019. Her daily schedule had grown a little too same after raising kids and grandkids.She once saw a holy figure done with amigurumi, a unique style of crocheting, displayed by her granddaughter Fabiana.
She chose to learn how to manufacture these dolls for her great-grandson’s first communion because she was fascinated by this Japanese method. She made tiny angels with her kid, and when they were finished, everyone was thrilled and asked her if she also performed this kind of work for money.
Aspasia made the decision to “supplement” her income by charging a little fee, which turned into a sizable source of income very fast. “I never anticipated such success! Being a widow and living off of my pension, I was always in need of financial assistance from a kid, but that is no longer the case. I feel so much more free now that I have my own money,” the elderly woman remarked.
I’ve looked after the house, my spouse, and my kids my entire life. In addition to reading and aqua aerobics, I worked odd jobs to pass the time. I think women’s lives now look different: I think my niece Fabiana’s independence is amazing,” Aspasia remarked. Encouraged by her grandmother’s success, Fabiana created an account to market her dolls, and Aspasia was successful once more. “There is a huge demand. I’m not fast enough. I’ve already had to summon three assistants,” the woman remarked.
The grandma, who believes she has now sold over 700 dolls, has also received orders from countries other than Brazil, including Canada and Portugal. “I take great pride in the work that I have done. I’m thrilled to see people expressing gratitude and giving me notes,” Aspasia said. She is a real example of the saying “it’s never too late to follow your dreams.”
