What do you love about being over 40?

I love the discernment & divine connection that I have that keeps me grounded and directs me in my decision making. I love being intentional about every area of my life. I love my family and friends dynamics, I love that meaningful & valuable these relationships are at this stage of life. I love the peace and freedom that continues to be present during this stage of life.

How do you stay fabulous?

I stay fabulous by intentionally carving out time for self care such as traveling, dinner with friends, exercising, embracing moments of silence, dancing by myself, chatting & reminiscing with family members. I stay fabulous by keeping amazing people around me who are reciprocal as it pertains to love, kindness, support, encouragement, prayer, and accountability. I stay fabulous by keeping God first in my life. I stay fabulous by being a loving, kind & caring person to other people.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would re-open my business that I recently had to seize operation of due to lack of inventory/finances. I would pay off lots of debt that I recently accrued due to a recent job layoff. I would also donate some to a family of 5 that I just discovered lost their mom, I don’t know them personally but my heart goes out to them & I would love to be able to help them in some way.
