I stay in shape, have my own business while working full-time at my day job. Go to therapy for self improvement. I’m Authentic and Resilient

I love that I no longer feel the need to make anyone else but myself, happy. I’ve learned and grown so much over the years that I’m proud of who I am, today, and I intend to stay that way. It’s really about the confidence I have in knowing I’m staying true to myself instead of following a crowd or allowing others to steer me in a different direction. I wasn’t as confident when I was younger.
How do you stay fabulous?I pride myself on being the best version of me. I try to eat healthy but let myself indulge when I feel like it. I feel my prettiest in eyeliner and mascara but know I look cute without any makeup at all. I go to therapy once a month and travel at least twice a year. I set time aside to enjoy the people I love the most. What keeps me fabulous is knowing not to take my life, the moments I spend, and the people I love most, for granted. True happiness is found when you count your blessings.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would pay off my debts (20k), buy my son a reliable used car as his first car (5k), give my parents 5k as a wedding vow renewal gift happening next year, surprise my son with a late Graduation/18th birthday trip to anywhere he wants to go (since he worked so hard to make it through school). THEN, decide where the rest should be invested - whether it’s towards launching my own business, learning a new skill, stocks, or cushioning my retirement even more. Maybe all of the above!
