Well, in fact, I am over 40 (& 50, & 60!😇). Never retouched my photos or used filters. (NEVER had alterations to face/body. I'M A SURVIVOR!

I'm a wise, intelligent woman, and confidence comes with age & experience, which I love! (But I've also been through some of the worst times in my life, after 40, especially in last 4 years, losing everything!😔). Having been victimized, once too many times, I've become stronger and will defend others being victimized! That makes me a SURVIVOR!😇 (I also love my son, former brain cancer survivor😇& successful Meteorologist; & my beautiful, intelligent daughter!💕 They are my best achievements!
How do you stay fabulous?That's a mystery to me!😳(Whenever I've been told I'm 'beautiful', I say, "My real 'beauty' is inside me!"😇 The overwhelming amount of stress I've endured in my life is unbelievable! I'm hoping to write a memoir I was inspired to (while experiencing a 'life-changing' situation, that changed me, in every way; down to my cellular level!) The idea came while experiencing that difficult situation; It's meant to Inform, Educate, Inspire & Encourage😇 (I do hope to grow older, gracefully😌)
What would you do with the $40,000?WOW...(I can't even imagine!😍) But God knows everything I lost (& went through, in the last 4 years!) This wonderful gift would help me with the cost of living expenses, which I struggle with (no one should know that insecurity; especially as we age. I would use it to pay bills, I would be able to afford wifi (haven't had nor tv in last 4 years!), new phone, new car (still have 2009 Hyundai). Not interested in material things... Some to charity, maybe a vacation (I've NEVER HAD in my life!)
