There’s so much to love but I got to say that what I love the most is my knowledge. I have learned so much about myself and others throughout these past decades that it has translated into having more confidence than ever, more compassion, more empathy and more understanding about people and life in general. It’s a type of wisdom that comes from life experiences. You learn to not sweat over the minor stuff, live in the moment and appreciate your accomplishments!

I stay fabulous by taking care of myself. I love to lead by example by eating healthy, exercising, and staying positive as much as possible even when life throws you a curve ball. I also choose not to consume alcohol since I feel it deprives you from being the best version of yourself. I love to mentor young women and help them achieve their goals and dreams. Life is tough enough so having someone older and wiser to support you emotionally is key to success in my books.

My oldest son and his wife are trying to have a baby. They both work very hard and live paycheck to paycheck. With the 40K, I would invest it in that baby’s education. Everyone should have a chance to go to college and earn a degree. Today’s world is tougher than ever and very costly. College tuition has increased tremendously so my contribution of 40K would make a significant impact to that child’s future.
