I have battled and beat cancer twice since turning 40 and I started my own business while going through it! I'm strong & independent at 47!

I love this new chapter of my life! My daughter's are adults and now I'm finding myself again. Like a rebirth! Finding strength after coming out of cancer twice and pushing full force into being a female business owner. I love the feeling of having life experience yet still being young enough to live it to it's fullest! I'm constantly learning and looking for new opportunities of growth. I want my daughter's to see that you never give up and you can start over at any age, despite obstacles!
How do you stay fabulous?I'm a big believer in self care and I've been taking dance classes for 42 years. It is my escape, passion and an important part of who I am. I'm also extremely proud of the community I built through my business. The bonds and networking I've created due to my determination, while fighting cancer, has built my reputation of resilience. You have to be positive even in uncertain times and gentle on yourself! I hope I'm a role model for all women by showing them that life can be lived on your terms.
What would you do with the $40,000?Both of my daughters own part-time businesses, I would give them each 10,000 dollars to expand and promote growth for full time operation. I believe in them and want to invest in their potential. I wish I had that opportunity at their age. The rest of the money I would use to expand my current businesses. It would allow for that extra push to pursue my dreams even further.
