LIFE experiences, good & bad, has me where I am & who I am. Wisdom. Learned lessons. Mindset: It is a PRIVILEGE to grow older AND bolder! Enjoying my walk with God. I tell my children, “I’ve been your age. You’ve not been mine!” Watching my adult children “adulting.” Loving my grandkids. Enjoying the milestones with them. Providing guidance.
How do you stay fabulous?It starts with ME. FEED MY BRAIN & SPIRIT daily. Living day by day! Daily GRATITUDE check. KNOWING when to say NO & stand firm. Claiming my time QUICK! Avid reader & researcher on numerous life subjects. I am my own best friend. Being your best benefits the world! 🌍
What would you do with the $40,000?PAY IT FORWARD! INVEST it in people’s passions, purposes, & potentials. In the community, I would establish a foundation mainly for scholarships for local students who want to attend community college, a university, or trade school. My blessings come from helping others. I would LOVE to send my mom to The Price is Right game show! My mom has been a big influence on me as I age. Her kindness, mindset, class, & style keeps her looking timeless! She never stops helping others. She’s my mentor.
