Trauma has taught me the meaning of life. Trauma changes you, but you learn from it and see every second as a gift and each person as a gift
We would like to thank you for supporting Kelly Piper in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I'm able to reminisce my young quirky self and all of my meaningful memories, and I'm able to see the blessings I have added into my life along the way (my husband, my children... even my ex-husband). When you're young, you wonder what your life will look like? Here I am, living the gift of knowing! I live each day, mentally / emotionally growing, but I'm able to see that I have not changed much when it comes to my core personality. It brings happiness, knowing I've always been a loving fighter
How do you stay fabulous?I follow my own path and take others' opinions into consideration, but I do not sway on what feels right for me or my family! I live to care for others and feel I have a voice to share when it comes to bullying, suicide awareness, not judging others for you truly do have to walk in someone else's shoes to understand. I push through the tough times through my disabilities, and I'm creating a mental health awareness business that includes finding self-love and taking time to laugh (so important)!
What would you do with the $40,000?My upcoming business involves giving to those who are truly struggling & who are in need of a sign of hope. Sometimes you just need someone to care, whether that's just listening & providing support, fixing home issues such as plumbing or car issues or providing food to the homeless / low income (to name a few). I'm low income, so I could use the financial support to invest in not only my family but to do the types of actions mentioned above (& to hopefully post on SM to influence kindness)!
