Having wisdom to enjoy the little moments in life. I was so busy when my children were little. I focused on tasks rather than moments. When your children grow up and are on the precipice of leaving you start to reflect on what is important. Family and faith are my cornerstones. Now, I slow down and enjoy each moment as it comes along.
How do you stay fabulous?Gratitude. When you focus on your blessings, you embrace happiness. Beauty radiates and you inspire others when you bring joy and hope to those around you. Fabulous stems from thinking of others before yourself. But, you cannot forget self love and self care. I have a few splurges where I treat myself. I also take time to listen to myself and what I need. I also forgive myself and focus on my positives not my negatives. These lessons were learned through trials which develops into wisdom.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would do something practical and something fun. I would pay credit cards and college bills for my kids, and then I would take my family to Italy. Paying down debt would relieve stress. Taking an awesome family vacation would create lifetime memories we could all cherish.
