2013, she lost her dad. 2014, her mom. 2015, her brother. 2016, her marriage ended. Four losses. Four years. Back to back to back to back. Then in 2020, cancer.
Her secret to living her best life? Get dressed up every day. Keeping her mind busy. Scrimping and saving so she can travel and keep two homes. One here and one in Ecuador.
She’s a teacher. Right now, she’s teaching summer school. I remember when the pay was $25 an hour. She’s making $45.
She doesn’t shop at Macy’s. Doesn’t want the uniform. Doesn’t carry designer bags either. She’d rather have something handmade.
She believes in movement. Having a plan. And she doesn’t need a reminder to live. She promised her brother she would.
