Living life to the fullest & being the best version of myself that I can be. Remembering I don’t control the dialog; I control how I react.

I love being able to enjoy my children as adults, and being able to still go on dates with my husband. I enjoy passing on knowledge about the things I’ve learned through the years, and being able to still learn new things. I love being able to face each day with a positive view so that others can smile too.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by laughing a lot, smiling often & drinking a lot of whisky (ok so maybe that last part is just for laughs). I try to live by a 24 hr rule.. if something bothers me, wait 24 hrs & if it’s not still bothering me then it’s not worth any more of my time. It saves a lot of stress & trouble. I try to take walks, enjoy family time as much as possible and surround myself with positive people & lots of animals.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I won the $40,000 grand prize I would help my kids with some things, like paying off college tuition, and then pay off some bills of my own allowing additional money each month from those paid off expenses to go into savings toward a long overdue vacation with my husband, and our two service dogs of course.
