What do you love about being over 40?

I’m a single mom, a beautiful daughter, blessed late in life. Own a home, do the construction, like laying raw flooring and staining, drywall, tile, & anything else that needs to be done. I'm an artist who sings, plays percussion, paints, plasma cuts, jewelry, sews, ceramics, & wood work. I’ve traveled the world w/daughter & love my family, 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?

Smiling & laughing keeps my spirits high & those around me. I run in nature & do pilates. Most of my friends think I’m the energizer bunny & always trying to accomplish more in life. My friends help keep me fabulous w/their support I can conquer anything. I’ve been performing, cooking Indonesian dishes & always help a friend. I am blessed in so many ways & grateful every day. I believe in being positive & seeing the best in people, because those around me, make me the best me I can be.

What would you do with the $40,000?

First I will throw a celebration party, & cook for all my friends & family to say thank you for their support. I will build a deck & install a hot tub. Invest in my daughter's college fund & take a trip to experience the worlds culture. I've been woking on a new business idea & this would help tremendously for the startup capital. I’m grateful to feel fabulous and be considered for this amazing opportunity.
