Receive Text UpdatesMy thirties showed me that is too short. I faced the battle of going through a double biopsy not knowing if I would have to deliver such terrible news to my family. I’ve dealt with countless health issues and here I still stand. I will not let life defeat me. My spirituality and faith has been renewed. I don’t believe he brought me this far to leave me. Becoming a Gigi as well has been the most rewarding thus far and now I’m healing in my forties.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous because I have people who count on me. Seeing my only Gbaby run to me after a hard days work. Knowing my family needs me and I don’t lose myself keeps me fabulous. Continuously protecting my peace and my health is what drives me. Life won’t stop me from living and living myself.
What would you do with the $40,000?I spent so much of my life surviving this $40,000 will help me start living in the moment more and enjoying the time I have with my family. I won’t be here forever and I want to make memories my kids and grandchildren can carry with long after I’m gone.
