Being the unbridled boss of me. Regardless of what happens, I keep going. I make stuff happen. I’m positive, happy and fun..

Wisdom. Triumph over tribulation. Loving my people. Being able to feel deeply, to empathize, to share and to help. Enjoying each day and knowing I’m doing my best. And knowing what is best for me. Finally working in an industry where I feel I am making a difference for people - health and wellness. As we age, we do need to do things differently and putting those things into a business at this age has been a blast.
How do you stay fabulous?It feels kind of odd saying I’m fabulous…lol…but I think I do “have it going on”, especially for my age! As cliche as it may sound, it is my sense of humor. It’s a bit Lucille Ball but it is what makes others comfortable and in turn, I'm happy because they are happy. Perhaps I should be more "demure" but my super power has always been being able to connect and make friends quickly. Good genes, walking, sunshine, excellent supplements, loving and laughing keep me fabulous..
What would you do with the $40,000?I'd finish my basement so my mom (84) could move in and be comfortable and happy. She is alone now, in a wheelchair and housebound. If there was money left over, I'd consider having a little work done on myself. ;) Or zoom off to Italy. That is one of the benefits of being this age. We can make these choices.
