I’m a 44 year old mother of 5, recovering addict, who has lived far beyond my years. I’ve been to the bottom but am rising to the top!

I love the confidence that comes with being over 40! Living life for over 4 decades has brought a lot of experiences such as growing up, hard lessons, parenting, relationships, several stages of self discovery and more. No matter what the past holds though, it has made me who I am in this very moment. I’m grateful for every new day and treat time as a beautiful gift to cherish! I thrive on learning more on this journey I’m on and never forget where I came from.
How do you stay fabulous?I never considered myself “fabulous” exactly. But I suppose I’m committed to being the best version of myself at each stage of life. I value mental, spiritual, and physical strength and wellness. I believe we never stop growing in these areas and to do that, we need to keep moving forward without staying “stuck” on the past. Being fabulous is a mind set and I love the empowerment I get from other fabulous women!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would use $40k to finish writing and publishing my first book! It would help me take the time to focus on writing without worrying about finances. I want to help other women through my book by sharing my experiences and giving hope to those who may feel lost and alone.
