Being able to still wake up each morning with the gift of life. Death has knocked more than once. I have survived addiction& abuse&instead of shaming my past choices&decisions, i now understand its those experiences that have shaped my character and built my strength to be the faboulous woman&mother i have become today! My journey did not bring a life of prosperity&wealth fueled by a successful career, but the gift i did get of humility,humbleness,&empathy are far more valuable than any # of $
How do you stay fabulous?By staying grounded&humble, never forgetting my own journey by telling my story to anyone taking a similiar path.Still very much a work in progress, my self awareness continues to change&reshape the way i think.Also by striving to strengthen my bond w/ my kids as we learn together how to embrace forgiveness&move past my mistakes&failures as i struggled for years to make them my only priority, an unfortunate, yet frequent,consequence wen babies have babies.I had 2 kids before i was 21 yrs of age
What would you do with the $40,000?I do live in,what most would consider to be poverty even though i work full time. So wat little i do have, i worked my butt off to get. So I do have a wish list of things i would put it towards,but most importantly a small portion would go towards my baby girls HS graduation expenses this year that i have yet to pay for and secondly,taking my family on a much needed vacation where the stress and endless duties of life can be put aside for a week and truly just love&enjoy each other as a family
