One reason is so silly. After years of not looking like an adult as I am shorter and have always looked young, I am treated as an adult and am accepted as one. I also have always beat to my own drum and while I always did that, it is with much more confidence in my unique stride in the world. Between different types of jobs and numerous volunteering, I have had the pleasure of experiencing and learning so much. love that I have my hobbies, family, and get to enjoy all that everyday has to offer.
How do you stay fabulous?I try not to take myself too seriously. I exercise, work at an elementary school, write, draw, enjoy my 12 and 8 year old, eat a pescetarian/dairy-free diet, be neighborly in my actions beyond just my community, and take each day as it comes to find the best way to enjoy that day. I don't worry about getting older and enjoy each new year as it comes with whatever it brings!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would definitely donate some of it as there are some many less fortunate and environmental concerns that could use some of any fortune that may come my way. I think money for college for my kids would be a large portion and there are some things in our home that definitely needs to be replaced. If there was any left, paying down an auto loan is always a treat as well :-)
