What do you love about being over 40?

I turned 40 this year and it has been everything but easy. Life has thrown at me these insane curveballs but my family has always been there giving me love and support. With age comes wisdom and maturity. I strongly believe that being 40 has given me an entirely new positive perspective on life. I appreciate everything and everyone in my life and love living life to the fullest. Friends and family is what keeps me young and the reason why I am able to give my love and kindness to everyone.

How do you stay fabulous?

I stay young by working out, surrounding myself by happy people that match my energy, giving love unconditionally and loving life no matter what it throws at me. Appreciating life and being grateful for all the experiences bad or good that I have been through. Seeing the beauty in everyone and everything.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I wish I could say that I'm going to start an non-profit, donate all of it to charity or do something extraordinary with it, but the truth is the first thing I would do is pay off all my debt. I have acquired a substantial amount of debt during the last 20 years and half of that 40k will be used to pay it all off. The remaining 20k will be used to help set my boys up for college. It's not easy being an adult and I want to help them out with school as much as I can.
