I cherish the peace that comes with accepting who I am and the freedom it brings. Now that I’m over forty, I’ve explored many roles and discovered what truly suits me. I know what I want from life and embrace my limitations without shame. Trying new things no longer worries me; I’ve let go of others’ opinions. I’ve found a balance between what I’m willing to compromise on and what I won’t. I truly believe I’m living my most authentic life.
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous means an active lifestyle and a commitment to doing good in the world. As an educational assistant, I find joy in helping others learn and grow. My love for people fuels my desire to uplift those around me, fostering a strong community. I maintain a positive outlook, believing that each day is an opportunity for self-improvement. I challenge myself by trying new things, including higher education. This blend of passion, connection and personal growth keeps my spirit vibrant!
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I’d start by paying off some bills. I’d also plan a trip with my husband and some of our oldest friends. Finally, I’d invest in my future and our children’s future by funding university courses. This balance of settling debts, enjoying time with loved ones, and pursuing education would be the perfect blend of responsibility, fun and personal growth.
