Karen Thompson

I was always self conscious trying to compare myself with others. At 45 of mom of 4 and grandmom; learned to embrace myself, my skin & age.

What do you love about being over 40?

One of my favorite things is to encourage others to be more confident and do what makes them happy and enjoy the process! It’s a blessing to reach the age where the status quo and expectations of others dwindle down and becoming completely comfortable in who you are. Determining short and long term goals are easier to achieve with experience and understanding of what you are capable of and how to attain the next level of where you want to be. Finding yourself and being confident in who you are.

How do you stay fabulous?

Oh just on my own, lol. Just kidding! Have accountability for myself. Taking part in various organizations trying to help communities big or small with homeless, children, families through organizations over the years. Being intentional in interactions with my children, friends, family, colleagues, others taking learning moments. Definitely learning to take time to myself has been huge! A walk, a book a class. My faith is literally my rock and safety net together, prayer. And have fun!

What would you do with the $40,000?

I’d really like to invest the rest into my community somehow and continue my education; to set an example it’s never too late to keep bettering yourself.
