Life According to Kym

Have you heard of Ask Jeeves? How many of you remember Dear Abby? And we all know Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City... well it's like putting all of those in a blender and pouring out a smoothie called “Life According to Kym”.

I have to admit Life has been a journey for me. I’ve been through years of being in the spotlight on television, a (lasting!) Hollywood marriage, raising a fabulous son, surviving cancer, and loss and so much more. I’ve learned a lot through it all and encouraging others by sharing my loving advice empowers me and hopefully all of you! I’m thrilled to share my first column with you... I want this space to be our monthly catch-up... a time to let our hair down with the friend that knows you best and a place to dish on all things fabulous and flawed. So let’s dive in because life can be choppy but I’m here to help you wade through the emotional waves with a fantastic life jacket on!

Your Friend, Kym

HOW DO I FIND OUT WHO I AM NOW THAT I AM AT THIS STAGE IN LIFE. NOT A WIFE, A DAUGHTER OR A MOTHER ANY- MORE?

Dear "Who Am I," you certainly hit a chord with me. As most of you know I lost my husband of 37 years just 3 months ago. I've been asking myself "Who am I without Jerry?" Jerry was a larger-than-life charismatic actor, and when he walked into a room, he OWNED it. When he passed, I wondered the same “Who am I without Jerry?”. Honestly, I just wanted to stay home. But, here is my advice to you. Don't play it safe. Playing it safe serves no one. We all know the data about the most common regrets of the dying - it's always regretting chances they DIDN'T take, things they wanted to do but didn't. You're 59 years young; you've got decades ahead of you! I just interviewed a 90-year-old woman with her 6th husband writing her 5th play! Life is for the living! Get out there and LIVE IT & you will find out who you really are!
