What do you love about being over 40?

I loved being over 40! But now I’m over the proverbial hill, 61! I love finally coming into full confidence with who I am and what I do. If you are your best, authentic self, you are doing your only job!! Love your life!!

How do you stay fabulous?

I do well in my mind forgiving my shortcomings and feeling great about myself and what I bring to the world. I work a lot to keep my mind ticking! I do my best to eat right, dress well and updated. Smiles everyday go a long way to keep me feeling fabulous! My son is 21, and that keeps me lively and encourages me to stay young 😉

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would start by paying bills. Then I would save for retirement. I’d also love to get involved in more self-awareness charities and would love to help with cancer awareness. I’m a designer and love supporting new businesses and charities with my work, If anyone needs any help with that, reach out and we’ll see what we can do. I can’t imagine what I could do if I had more savings. I’m sure I’ll be volunteering a lot more.
