I take on my day with a smile. My son is 23, non verbal and on the spectrum. You have to be fabulous to deal with this everyday PERIOD 🤣

What do you love about being over 40?

My 40s were fabulous until my partner passed. He was 49 I was 47. Devastating. Still I continue to wake up a move forward. I love that I’m wiser and I’m able to provide for my son and myself independently.

How do you stay fabulous?

I don’t know if I’m fabulous but I just live life with a smile even though my heart aches for the loss of my partner and for my son who’s non verbal and has autism. I wish I was thin like I was when I was in my forties but I’m ok. I don’t work out so I guess I can’t complain 🤣

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would definitely fix up the backyard for my son. We moved and not enough money was left over to have the backyard redone for him to go out and be safe and play. That’s what I’d do. I put up a small pool and a strong swing for him to release energy. Now I’m excited
