I love that I don’t care what others think anymore. I don’t put myself in the trendy category but I’m cool because I know what I like and what makes me happy. I love that although I have been married and divorced, I’m about to marry again and I feel like my life is just beginning even though I’m 10+ decades into my journey. I love that 40 is the new 20 and I have so much more to experience.
How do you stay fabulous?I have 8 children in my home that range in ages from 1-17, so they keep me quite grounded. I don’t drink on the regular and I’ve never been a smoker. I believe that staying active, not stressing about numbers on the scale and eating a sleeve of cookies if I want keeps me feeling great. I don’t stress the things I can’t control. I try to find something I am thankful for daily and I don’t take that I’m here for granted. I give when I can and that keeps a smile on my face.
What would you do with the $40,000?I can’t lie, the first thing I would do is take a kid-free vacation with my soon to be husband to some place we have never been. I would then LOVE to upgrade our home, with some DIY renovations because most of our place is very 90s. I would tuck the rest away for our children. We have proms, college and weddings for them that will be here before I want to admit. Can I say maybe a little Botox?? (I mean if I have the money why not get rid of a few forehead wrinkles) and definitely a new tattoo.
