I believe determination to survive and reclaim a better me makes me fabulous over 40.

I love the wisdom I have acquired, the deeper appreciation I have for life itself, and being able to show younger women that life isn’t over for them at 40, 50, 60, or in my case even 70+. They can still be beautiful, sexy, and also a person who still has so much to offer intellectually.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by eating a healthy diet, exercising, and staying engaged with people. I still have a full time job at a hospital which constantly challenges me intellectually. I realize it is as important to take care of my mental acuity as it is to take care of my health and appearance.
What would you do with the $40,000?I have a small house that I love. It means a lot to me, because it is the first and only house I bought on my own. I was married for 40 years, and when my husband left I didn’t think I would ever own a house. I worked hard and this little house is the result of that. I need to update a couple of rooms and do some repairs, so I would use some of the money for that. I would save the rest, so I can continue to be financially independent no matter what.
