I love that I’ve come to a point in my life where I don’t have time to care what other people think. I like to tell people I’m taking care of my responsibilities, but we only get one shot at this life so I want to enjoy it as long as I’m alive. I’ve seen too many people i know my age or younger that left this life too early.
How do you stay fabulous?Well hellooo….because I am fabulous!! lol I have become better at hitting the gym. Spending time with family and friends are key. I always look at the positive side of things and I smile often! I have a group of friends that I have known since preschool and we still see each other as often as we can! One, sadly recently passed so it’s even more important to get together as often as our busy lives will let’s. Planning our trip for next year!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would get a small place for my kids and I. After a divorce it’s difficult to make it on your own in California. Especially when I followed my ex-husbands military career all over the world. I was difficult to have a career of my own when you move every three years. (Did get to live in some cool places…Hawaii and Japan!
