I am fabulously over 40 because I stay healthy and strong physically and mentally by teaching and performing ballet.

I love that I’m becoming more accepting of who I am - assets, flaws, strengths, and weaknesses. I occasionally catch myself seeking approval from other but then quickly and gently remind myself to come back to myself. I am more present with my family and friends - I am growing in my listening skills and really hearing the other person and seeing how I can help them. I’m not perfect, but I’ve learned it’s progress not perfection. I look in the mirror and I like me.
How do you stay fabulous?I take care of myself as a whole - I’ve learned it’s not one thing or just my outsides and appearance- I take care of myself physically, emotionally, me mentally, and spiritually. I take time to meditate, relax, enjoy what I’m eating, play, spend quality time with loved ones. I’m learning to enjoy the process of living and not be focused on outcomes or destinations. I eat well, sleep well, love well, and pray well. The combination of a full life keeps me fabulous!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would possibly use it to start a business in my community, but honestly I’m not sure. I may save it and decide what to do with it later. It’s an awesome prize, and it seems like something to really invest time into thinking how best to use it. A good night’s sleep might give me a good dream revealing what to do!
