Iโm 59 and I finally believe in myself enough to start my own business and stop building someone elseโs dream. Iโm excited for my future!

I love that I truly know who I am and what I want in my life, moving forward. I’ve been sober for about 39 years and during that time I gained 150 pounds. I was miserable!! I’ve done enough work on myself internally that I’ve been able to take the weight off and keep it off with very little effort. I attribute that to years of self help and God. My faith is ultimately the reason I’m still here. God had bigger plans for me ๐๐ป
How do you stay fabulous?I really focus on keeping my “thinking” as positive as I can. How we think about ourselves and situations can truly make us or break us! My thinking was very negative and that kept me in a very unhealthy state. I pray daily, sometimes hourly. I truly have so much gratitude for my life and Family today. My desire is to share my life/journey with as many people as I can and hopefully help others to find some self love, peace and joy.
What would you do with the $40,000?Oh my goodness, I’d LOVE to get dental implants so I can truly smile big with no embarrassment. That would be a dream come true. Autoimmune disease wreaked havoc on my teeth and I haven’t smiled hugely in too many years. If there was any left over I’d donate to a Charity ๐
