What do you love about being over 40?

I love the feeling of self discovery! I am confident in setting healthy boundaries and ok with it! Turning 40 for me, was very life changing. It was like a veil has been lifted off my eyes. I met the love of my life and I think being mature made me gave our relationship a chance and also being ok with loosing people who no longer share my views.

How do you stay fabulous?

The definition of the word fabulous varies I believe from individual to individual. It can be use interchangeably with the word beautiful and beauty is not just about appearance. It’s also about inner beauty. So staying fabulous is really from the heart. If you have a fabulous heart and treat people well then you are fabulous. It is my task everyday to make sure that I treat others with kindness, respect and love. If I’m doing these things, then I am being fabulous.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would take my step kids to Disneyland! They have been through so much and they deserve to be children at least once in their lifetime! The rest would go to paying off debts including student loans! Living on a special education teacher salary is not the dream, but it is a very fulfilling career that allows me to make children feel fabulous every day!
