I am fabulously just over 50! I am a Mom of 3, have two small businesses, and just finished writing my first children’s book.
We would like to thank you for supporting Shannon Ryan-Riggs 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 the perspective that my 50 years have provided. My experiences as a young athlete, business professional, mom, friend, and family member over the years have taught me to appreciate each day (good, bad, or otherwise), take challenges in stride, use each hurdle as a learning moment, and start each day with gratitude. Every breath is a gift. I try to live each day the best I can and with purpose.
How do you stay fabulous?I always strive to be my best self and continue to work at it daily. I am motivated to make a difference and shine light on others through philanthropy and acts of kindness. My kids and family keep me young at heart and the Southern California sun keeps me outdoors and active. I keep a balance between productive work and bringing my “silly superpower” everywhere I go. Laughter is good medicine. Loving others, giving selflessly, and living life to the fullest is what makes me "me".
What would you do with the $40,000?Oh, $40k…I would take my family on a short (to fit into their busy elementary school and college schedules) trip of a lifetime to create even more lasting memories together. These moments are priceless! The balance would, of course, go toward the kids’ college funds.
