Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

My friends at the time of recording this the world just lost the colourful and beautiful Iris up fell.

Oh my gosh if you don't know that name you probably do still know her. She was this old lady. She died at a hundred and two, March 2024. She was 102 years old she had those big round glasses and she was always wearing bright

colours feathers loads of jewelry, sequins. She was bright and beautiful and I loved how just independent

she was. You know, she shared that one of the reasons she didn't have children was because her mother worked and she wanted to have

children and she wanted to have a stay-home mom. This is her

own experience and she said look I knew that I always wanted to work.

She even said that she was a alcoholic at one point.

And she said, look, if I want to work,

then that's where I'm going to get my fulfillment.

That's why I'm going to focus my energy in my life.

And Iris was so much fun.

I mean, think about it. She was born in 1921 in Queens.

Like, this one was amazing.

But there are a couple of quotes I remember from Iris that I wanted to share with you today because I thought gosh I've got to read these on the pod. They are so good and we're so lucky that we get to even I don't know have been alive in the time of Iris.

She said this. I see myself as the world's oldest living teenager.

Because I have such a good time,

and because I try to get as much of a kick out of things

as possible.

My friends, one year ago I saw her doing a fashion campaign. She was in Europe doing some cool

campaign and I was like wow Iris you really are redefining what it means to be a working woman over the age of a hundred.

I thought, wow, talk about no excuses when it comes to your age,
