your time. I say no to
everything that doesn’t
feel right.”

”

And while she admits
to saying no to many a
business opportunity in
recent years, Yearwood
says she is planning
to
move
forward
with many upcoming
projects,
including
everything from future
cookbooks
(“Trisha’s
Table”) to a brand new
cookware and cutlery
line.
“Whether it’s been
songs
or
television
shows or cutlery, I have
always chosen based
on what is right for me,
not just what someone
tells me is going to be
hugely successful,” she
explains. “If you pick to
record a song that you
love, for example, you
are good. If you go and
record a song you hate
because someone says

it’s going to be a big hit,
you end up either singing a song you hate every night or you sold your soul for nothing.”
With lessons behind her and many still to learn in the future, Yearwood says she has much to
look forward to.
“I think just about everyone who turns 50 say it feels younger than it used to be,” she laughs.
“I’m definitely immature mentally…and physically, I have taken steps to make sure I feel as
young as I can within my body. But when I look back on my life so far, I see so many things that
have happened that I never thought would happen. I get to travel the world with the love of
my life and do what I wanted to do since I was a little girl. I’m living life to the fullest. I can’t
imagine anything else I will ever possibly need.”
