after taking care of donations, debits, family, several dear friends and finding me a good Lupus specialist....

I'd take both of my nieces on a year long educational and exploration trip around the world.... with all kinds of fun but education things planned to inspire them to "reach for the stars". I dream of introducing them to Hands On Sciences (of many different fields), Archeology, Engineering, Social & Cultural opportunities, etc....all kinds of different "field trips" where they can actually get their hands dirty, climb mountains, and dive in oceans!! They would learn and retain so much more than their public schools have to offer by being cramped up in a stuffy class room...Real Hands On Learning... we'd set it up with their school that they could communicate with all their classmates/teachers via Live-cam with feedback, Q&A sessions and a journal of their experiences. We could even make their very own Documentary. An experience that they would never forget and would certainly give them opportunities and inspiration that I never had. Then I'd fund all of their future education and for them to get their Pilot's Licenses. (maybe such an exciting, busy and fun filled year away from "things" would take their minds off their current horrible hardships?)


I'd make sure 3 friends could quit their jobs.... one would get a new house near her daughter...the other needs good health care and a few other comforts to make sure they never want for anything....the third one will get a much needed respite and a special vacation.

I'd buy a small, humble part-time home near my nieces to spend all summers, birthdays and holidays with them.

I'd put my son through I.T. Tech School (since he refuses to go to college because he "learns different" and wants hands on...)

I'd find a very lovely place with lots of land in the mountains to build my Yurt...
