I am 40 and fabulous because I went through a horrible divorce and came out stronger than ever for my young son!!

I love the wisdom that has come with age! I have learned so many life lessons as I grow older. I used to care and worry about what everyone else thought about me. I have learned to let go of as much of that as possible. I feel like turning 40 made me really come out of my shell and be authentically myself; flaws and all! I used to be very quiet and shy around people I was not familiar with and now I am able to speak up and let the real me shine through.
How do you stay fabulous?I try to eat healthy and get movement in everyday! I love Pilates, Barre Method and taking walks with my son. I try to sneak in self care as much as I can as a single working mom. I have always taken care of my skin through products, facials and drinking a ton of water. I spend as much time as possible with my 6 year old son who keeps me young and laughing all the time. I try to model kindness and love everyday to him so that he turns out to be a great man and human!
What would you do with the $40,000?If I had $40,000 it would be life changing for me and my son! I took on a lot of debt both through my divorce and through credit cards that my ex-husband took out in my name. I would pay off this debt and finally feel free of that burden. I would use some of it to go towards the new townhome I bought for my son and myself to start a new fresh life! I would also put some in savings to have a cushion where I didn’t have to feel like I was living paycheck to paycheck for the first time!!
