Learning to not sweat the small stuff.!!! my husband had a TBI (I was 41) I taught him how to walk, talk, read, and write and started a Nat’l brain injury FDN raising tens of thousands of $ to support rural outreach prgrms for pple with brain injuries. My son dev’t schizophrenia, I lost him to the streets/addiction, but fought to get him back. 2.5 years ago my husband had to be placed in dementia care. Realizing everyone is fighting a battle expands your ability to show up for others
How do you stay fabulous?I exercise every day. Replenish with good food. No alcohol. Choose happiness. I say YES to great opportunities! My clothing company ALCHEMY OF RIDE (based on my art) produces surf, cycle and skiwear. I have ambassaors who exemplify healthy, positive lifestyles. Compassion and LOVE are my go to. I know that the person living on the street is someone’s child, brother, daughter. I try to have FUN - so critical to staying happy and healthy.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would donate the money to the Bow Valley Homeless Society (Banff/Canmore Canada) . Having a son with severe mental Illness is devastating not knowing where they sleep/stay especially in winter. This money would go a long way towards providing seed money for a permanent safe place for the unhoused in the Bow Valley (Canmore/Banff Alberta).
