I've experienced a career and motherhood and I'm at a stage where I've had the time and motivation to start a new chapter in my life through self-discovery, delving into the passions that bring joy to my life. Enjoying freedom and flexibility for new social and recreational experiences: solo traveling, updating my style to feel fresh and vibrant, having an adventurous spirit and confidence to try new activities and hobbies, striving to be healthy, and, continually challenging myself.
How do you stay fabulous?I live one day at a time and have a positive attitude about my life. I engage in social, business, community, and civic activities that give me fulfillment in many areas of my life. Whether it is networking for my business, volunteering in the community, assisting with civic causes., or hosting social events for family and friends and engaging in recreational activities, these activities boost my happiness and zest for life, which contribute to my overall well-being.
What would you do with the $40,000?A family vacation including relatives and using my Garden Series children's books, which whimsically teaches basic concepts about bees, butterflies, and ladybugs with an amusing story to encourage parents and children to explore the outdoors. Using a portion of the money would allow me to start a program at local garden nurseries where readings of my books for families, providing a children's gardening kit with a book is a dream of mine to encourage quality outdoor family time.
