43 and man I love it. I have lived a crazy full life. From my 20’s being in the military. I served 10 1/2 yrs in the Air Force, to my dark 30’s where I sank into addiction and felt lost and empty, to my 40’s where I overcame it all!!! 40’s to me is a new chance at life and I am LOVING each day!
How do you stay fabulous?Throughout the years I’ve learned to love the woman I have become!! I stay active in my daughter’s life as a single parent, work a full time job, manage my home alone, and never looking back. I have taught my daughter to learn to love the imperfections that make her who she is and it’s taken me 43 years to master it but once I did I couldn’t be more proud. I am strong, courageous, independent, and outgoing. I reach for the stars each day and don’t stop till I make it.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I won the $40,000 first and foremost I would finally purchase my 16 yr old a car. I would use the remaining money as a nest egg for my vision to open my own company called Hands of Hope an art and music therapy center for underprivileged children. It’s been a dream of mine for the several years to reach out to the babies who need an outlet in life.
