Hardest year of my life, & coming up from the ashes!Separated after a 23 year marriage & back in school.Advocate for disability rights.
We would like to thank you for supporting Tess Lawson 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 I have enough life experience to glean from, that I'm not relying only on other people's ideas to help get me where I want to go. I am able to self reflect in a different way than my earlier years, and appreciate myself more. I especially value my relationships with other women more, as I see we have all been overcoming and are beautiful in our own unique ways.
How do you stay fabulous?I spend time taking care of my body and my mind, so I can be available to help the world around me be brighter. I look for ways to compliment myself, while also letting myself change in ways that more reflect who I really want to be. When I am at peace and healthy, I can invest in others who need support and kindness as they also grow.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would pay off school debt from my current education in medical massage therapy; a portion would go toward a scholarship fund for people in my community living with disabilities to access essential medical or mental health treatment; lastly, I would purchase needed equipment for my practice.
