I am determined to be the best I can be, as my mom taught me. I reinvented myself after losing my family & tragedies. I must continue strong

I am truly alive in many ways! And I’m knowledgeable and wiser! I’m not following the stuffy corporate look. Freedom from ‘opinions’. I don’t owe any explanations why I want to wear a sequin jacket for lunch — or breakfast! (I love sequins!) I have worked hard to buy it and I know I look good wearing it. lol 🤣 I’m two decades beyond 40 so I am grateful I am here fairly healthy and naturally look better than my age. (Makeup and dressing well helps, lol).
How do you stay fabulous?Make my health (physical, mental, financial) my priority. Having inner peace. Staying abreast of new ideas and styles, incorporating only if they are “me”. Finding reasons to laugh and feel good. Started to design dresses and write again. Prayer and staying away from toxicity. Knowing I am fab because I remain honest and value myself.
What would you do with the $40,000?Deposit for a condo. I always owned my homes but a few years ago, after the tragedies, my house was also destroyed. I want to have my place again that I can decorate or modify to my style. Also provides personal security.
