My inner will to never give up. I’m a single mom to 4 amazing children, homeowner and registered nurse. Giving up is not an option!

What I love about being 41 years old is that I’m resilient. I appreciate the beauty in life. I embrace the importance of love and family. I know what I want and don’t want. Four decades of experiences good and bad that have made me the person I am today. And I love this person. I persevered and overcame every battle. I fell a few times but always got up stronger. Achieved my goals and have raised amazing children all by myself. I’m so blessed.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by knowing and engaging in self love and self care. Knowing that I’m perfectly imperfect. I nurture my body with healthy foods, exercise and sleep.
What would you do with the $40,000?With the $40,000 I would clear my debt. Fix my broken driveway and fix my finished basement that was recently destroyed by flood damage. Lastly and most importantly I would go on a family vacation with my children and elderly parents. I would still have money leftover to put away in savings for any emergencies and a small chunk to invest.
