Getting Into the Swing of Things
As a busy mother of two
teenagers, Denise Oliver has learned to thrive on a fast-paced schedule
while also playing her new favorite game--tennis.
Take on good health: My definition of healthy is when you take
care of yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Fitness fun: I decided to take tennis lessons about six years
ago. It's definitely my favorite activity.
De-stress secret: I do a number of things to unwind, such as
praying, reading a book, playing bridge, working on crossword puzzles,
or just sitting quietly in my surroundings.
Pretty inside and out: I do a lot of things, such as taking an
occasional afternoon nap, using sunscreen, or getting manicures and
pedicures.
Interesting tidbit: My greatest role models are my parents.
They gave me a solid base to face whatever came my way and have always
encouraged me to make my own choices.
Denise's big picture: I try to find balance. I'm a type A
personality, so I have to decide what I really want to do before saying
yes to something. When I do this it allows me time to truly enjoy
everything around me.
