I love the feeling of freedom. I am no longer have the fears of youth. I know things will work out the way they are supposed to. I love the fact that life's hardest lesson are behind me. The made me strong. They gave me the ability to inspire other women, and lift them up. Kindness ifms free. Women compete so often that they forget to turn around extend a hand and bring someone up with them.
How do you stay fabulous?I eat healthy. I exercise. I support others who are going through health issues similar too mine. I stay humble, and greatful. I volunteer, and moderate in a worldwide heart health support group in my spare time. I take care of my adult special needs son who is brilliant, kind and loving. He brings purpose to my life. I don't have a fabulous career or a famous husband but I do have more tenacity, and grit to survive and still stay kind to the people I encounter. Treating people well is fabulous
What would you do with the $40,000?I would start a small business that my son who desperately wants a job could work in. With his disabilities no one will hire him. He would be an asset to any business. I would make his dream come true. That would make me very happy.
