The knowledge that I’ve acquired along the way, the ability to know when I need a self care day. I use to have suicidal tendencies/ anxiety and depression, now I Trust God first and the process afterwards.
How do you stay fabulous?By practicing and involving the advice my mother gave me when I was younger, she’d Say if you look good you’ll feel good. She taught me to pull myself together and groom myself no matter how I was feeling, regardless of any hardships I go through.
What would you do with the $40,000?It would be life changing for me, In April I was approved for disability, the first thing that I did was buy me a cash car. I paid 3k for it and it’s a Lemon, it takes me 30 minutes to and from just getting to my local pharmacy. I just wanna pour into myself, I’ve been there for everyone but myself and I’m totally exhausted from taking two steps forward and one hundred backwards. As a grandmother I’d help my daughter get her kids some of the things that they need. They’re 4 and 5 years old.
