I've stopped viewing age as a setback and started viewing it as an asset that has accumulated a wealth of wisdom and better instincts.

I have a personal gym in my garage and I hung a tapestry as my mantra to keep in mind. It says "Once upon a time, there was a girl who said f*ck this sh*t, and did things her own way, and she lived happily ever after." I no longer need so much input from everyone and everything around me and I can dictate the direction I need and want to go in life. There is so much beauty in turning off the "noise" and charting your own course!
How do you stay fabulous?I prioritize health in the right order- Soul, Mind, Body. In my opinion, it's always said out of order. Your Body cannot thrive without your mind, and your mind cannot thrive without your soul. Any other order and you end up a robot. I always prioritize my faith and beliefs first and that dictates my mental health which motivates and focuses my physical health. "Where there is no vision, the people perish."
What would you do with the $40,000?I have a very untypical family setup. I am single and my heart has always been to adopt. I met my daughter in Kenya early in my 20's while volunteering at the orphanage where she lived. While the law never let me officially adopt her, I have supported her ever since I met her. When she was old enough, I moved her out of the orphanage and set her up in an apartment. She is now halfway through college! I would use the money to visit her and pay for the rest of her education!
