I'm NOW happy in my own skin wishing I had learned to love myself 30 years ago! I am a survivor and paying it forward is key to happiness.

I have learned confidence & patience understanding life can't wait for others to make me happy...one must find joy in everyday life blesses you with. Find a reason to get up each day feeling thankful! Never give up exploring your surroundings! Dance to the music like someone left the gate open is truly a way of life for me. I always say, "Why not?". I love understanding that tomorrow is never promised and to soak up every moment. When life gets hard find that which brings you peace.
How do you stay fabulous?I'm not fabulous I'm just me, a farm girl at heart and I've never taken myself too seriously. Other things matter more in life! When life gets too hard, I "Let go and let God." I'll admit I have struggled through some insane moments in life and have made it through by learned coping skills. One needs to find what works for them. I used to cope by running 8 to 10 miles a day until I was injured. I was recently just about ready to run again and life said NO but I will run again. Patience.
What would you do with the $40,000?I'll invest into rescue ranch fencing. Updated fencing is needed because of stray dog predation. Only then, can I open the ranch up for a community Drive through Jump in Safari with a family based/dog friendly Stay & Play option. I once walked 18 rescue dogs 3 times a day w/torn hip tendons. I invested my savings into a massive dog run to save my hips. Then, 1 rescue took a rattlesnake bite to the throat and 3 credit card debts later she survived a 1% chance of survival. I'd do it again!
