Having the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding to enjoy the little things as well as the big things in life. I have seen my family and friends struggle with health problems and some die from cancer. I had all three of my children almost die and one have a cardiac arrest as a teen but made a full recovery. I too have health issues. So, I know now at 45 that you should enjoy and appreciate all aspects of life!
How do you stay fabulous?I walk, read, do brain games, listen to music and diamond paint to ensure that I take some time for me. I love on myself as much as I love on others. I also know laughter keeps you young. So, I love all things comedy to laugh every day and feel fabulous!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would pay off my student loan for my Masters Degree that I achieved in my 40’s. I will use some to take a much needed vacation to Jamaica or Italy to finally celebrate me for getting my law degree and my Masters Degree and for never giving up on those goals. I will use the rest to help someone in need to pay it forward and bless someone else.
