My life is starting anew at 44! I ended a draining marriage and I make each day about personal growth for me and my littles.

The wisdom! While I have more to gain there's no doubt that I know so much more than I did in my 20s and 30s. There's a confidence that comes with knowledge. I don't look to others for my value like I did when I was younger. My connections run much deeper now.
How do you stay fabulous?Self care is the secret. I have others that need me and I can't give from an empty cup. I unwind with skincare each night. Exercise keeps my endorphins and mood up. Therapy keeps me accountable to a self growth mindset. And most importantly I focus on grace and joy through my spirituality. Forgiving myself and others while also finding peace amongst chaos demands the help of a higher power.
What would you do with the $40,000?Practical wins here. Put it on my mortgage. That income flexibility would allow me to travel more with my littles and give them experiences that hopefully last a long time.
