I am fifty-five going on seventeen. I'm a mom, an equestrian, an electrician who works with my husband in the field. Time to celebrate!

Suppose you are lucky enough and honest with yourself. You have grown to become someone who can look past the fleeting beauty of youth and see and feel natural "beauty," the beauty inside one's self. The raw emotions and the experience of dealing with them truthfully have been tempered. If you are lucky, you know who and what you are and can be honest with yourself. You don't have to have a social presence to judge your worth.
How do you stay fabulous?Being a legend in one's OWN mind is a start. I'm fabulous that I have made it to my age and still breathing. I suffered some horrendous abuse while growing up. The depression, anxiety, OCD, and other issues I could make millions off of if I had the drive and determination. The catch has been I didn't realize what happened to me until recently. Being a parent myself, I am grappling with my mental health without very many resources. I am a mythical creature; I want to guide others to their own.
What would you do with the $40,000?An equine cryotherapy mobile unit, a four-week course, and a certification program. I want to take control of my future for the first time. I need to pay off some credit cards and take some pressure off my husband and partner of twenty-six years. Being an electrician is my job, and I love my job. However, it's my husband's passion, not mine. At fifty-five, this is honestly the first time in my life that I have a plan and the tools to achieve a dream that is mine, mine only.
