I give my everything to family & friends. I am a veteran, finance specialist with the Air Force (civ) & sell real estate as my side hustle.

I love the confidence I’ve gained through the trials of life that I’ve experienced. It has also humbled me at the same time. I appreciate the small things in life, as well as close family and friends. I’ve lived in many places around the world but now I know that home is where you feel yourself, it’s not about the physical location.
How do you stay fabulous?I do my best to stay healthy by eating well & light exercise. I love being involved in my church fellowship with other women. We lift each other up by creating a safe environment to be vulnerable as well as encouraging. To be fabulous is all about having a healthy mental state of mind & being grounded. I do appreciate looking fabulous but it’s more important to feel it from the inside.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would love to spend some of it on a nice trip for my family. My kids are getting older (teens) and I would love to finally have an unforgettable trip together before they move on with their lives. And with the rest I would love to start a small business flipping furniture & teaching other women how to do it and learn how to generate additional income from a “hobby”.
