What makes me fabulous after 40 is that 50 is a milestone to be celebrated. I started over, embraced the fear and began to live.
We would like to thank you for supporting Nancy Paolicelli in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love that I am finally seeing the person that I was created to be. The younger person who struggled with perfectionism, people pleasing and deep insecurities has slowly faded. I show more empathy, compassion and kindness because of the lessons and battle scars I have survived. I especially show MYSELF more kindness. I eat the cake, enjoy the ice cream but work out and take care of my body. I was a stay at home mother who ventured out and found a career later in life.
How do you stay fabulous?I feed my mind and soul with truth and remember the past does not have to define your future. I eat healthy, enjoy nature and workout as often as my body allows. I also respect it when it needs rest. I learned how to try and live a selfless life. Simplicity, love and respect is the recipe for every relationship. Especially the one with myself.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would put it as a down-payment to get a home and not pay rent anymore.
