What do you love about being over 40?

I love being retired. (Lol) For first in my life I feel so free. I was a school teacher and I’m finally finding time for myself. I can take care of me, go on trips and explore so many things now. Spend more time with my husband and finally use my God given gifts which has been stagnant for so many years. This is one of the reasons why I’m actually doing this. It’s not really for the money but just the excitement to know and capability of doing it. I’m literally having fun with this.

How do you stay fabulous?

I love working out and exercising. Exercising is my passion. I’m at the hairdresser all the time making sure I’m healthy and my hair stays healthy. I eat gluten free foods and drink plenty of water. I pray a lot and I make sure im not doing stuff just to do it. I make sure the stuff I do is things I can do and enjoy doing it. No matter what the circumstances are I make time for the things I enjoy doing. Most importantly, I stay away from anything or anyone that stresses me out.

What would you do with the $40,000?

My greatest desire is my children. God has blessed me with them and they sacrificed so much for me. They are the first on my list to be a blessing to. I also would like to help the homeless. The Virgin Islands don’t have anywhere for them. It’s sad seeing them on the streets struggling knowing that they are in dying need. And of course it will help me get rid of some if not all of my debts..
