I love being Gigi mostly. But I also love learning who I really am for the first time in my life. Growing up in the era, I did Emotions, feelings, and confidence was unheard of for me, but now I’ve come to realize with the help of social media that it’s OK to not be OK and I’m not only learning this for myself But my daughters are actually teaching me this at 46. The rolls have reversed, they are raising me now and I cherish their positivity and perseverance.
How do you stay fabulous?I will have to say I stay fabulous because of my daughters and grandchildren and social media. If it wasn’t for all of the new skills and emotional lessons I’m being taught on a daily basis, I probably wouldn’t even be here right now. Transformation is an understatement for what I’ve been going through and I am so excited to see how this plays out and continues because I love life now, my life. I never thought I would ever say that especially at 46.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would buy an inexpensive car. I would take my kids and grandchildren on a small vacation and I would begin my sleeve tattoo on my other arm with my grandchildren’s flowers. If there’s anything left over, it would go to helping my daughter get through college on her way to medical school. I always said if she did the hard work in school then I would support her the entire way.
