What do you love about being over 40?

I’m a single mom, had my daughter at 45, own my own house, & have done construction, including gutting it & moving in on the 28th day. Laid raw hard wood flooring, sanded, & stained. I started singing & performing, paint, plasma cut, wood work & even sew. I’ve traveled the world with my daughter & love my daughter, friends, music, & nature. Being over 40 has taught me to remember who I am & embrace my fabulousness,. There is nothing I can’t do!

How do you stay fabulous?

I try to run every day in the Redwood Forrest and do pilates. I’m always smiling and laughing and enjoy life to the fullest. Most of my friends think I’m the energizer bunny because I’m always trying to do as much as possible.. My friends help keep me fabulous. With their support I can conquer anything. I’ve been performing, cooking Indonesian dishes for dinner parties, and always laughing to keep my spirits up. I remember how blessed I am every day.

What would you do with the $40,000?

With 40,000 I’m hoping to build my deck & install a hot tub. I working on transforming my yard as it’s my sanctuary. I will also put some money aside to invest in my daughter's college fund. I would love to plan my next vacation and find myself surfing the coast in crystal blue waters. This world and all the cultures have so much to offer. I’m grateful to feel fabulous and be considered for this opportunity.
