Feeling great in my own skin. Now that I have raised four children, I get to spend time doing things I love, such as exercising, competitive ballroom dancing, traveling, etc. I also enjoy helping people and I do that through community service, as a City Councilor and with my church and community. I am also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have a private practice. I work with children and teens and use play therapy and sand tray therapy and I also work with couples and families.
How do you stay fabulous?I exercise a lot, at the gym I use weights and do cardio. I also recently started Pure Barre classes and some Pilates and yoga classes. I work out 5-7 hours a week and I am also a competitive ballroom dancer. I currently compete in 34 different dances and I dance 10-15 hours a week. I eat healthy, try to get plenty of sleep and enjoy my friends and family. I have three granddaughters I adore and love spending time with them, they are Vienna-8, Cosette-5 and Primrose-2. I love to laugh!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would donate some of it to the local Community Chest, which funds many grants for local charities in our community. I already donate a portion of my City Council salary to the Community Chest. I would also take my family to Hawaii. I will be 65 years young in November 2024 and I am loving life.
