What is Fab Over 40?

Learn More

What do you love about being over 40?

I’ve entered a new phase of maturity with its own opportunities. I have a lot of interests and ideas, and, fortunately I have the resources to act on some of them. I’ve learned that living true to myself is more important than what others think. I have gained perspective and experience, and I know myself better now. I have more time to do things I enjoy, like crafting, music, cooking and traveling. I also have a better sense of my own mortality and the value of time with family and friends.

How do you stay fabulous?

I try to stay true to myself and my own personal style and tastes. I love blingy things and I adore beautiful hats. I stopped dieting years ago and have lost 155 lbs. I do not drink carbonated beverages and water has become my drink of choice. I choose the people I want in my life and trust my own intuition. I am a pastor’s wife. I put God first, family second and maintain a strong daily prayer life. God healed me of a horrible bout with stage 4 cancer and I have a new lease on life.

What would you do with the $40,000?

First a portion of winnings would go directly to our church building fund. I want to make a Christian music recording project. I would like to buy myself a new baby grand piano and ultimately travel to Europe.
