What do you love about being over 40?

The fact that I made it to 53 astounds me. GOD watched over me and brought me this far to experience how wonderful life after 40 can be. As a young woman I felt when I reach 40 life will go downhill but now at 53 I realize life only gets better every year, I strive every day to show the world with age brings joy beyond imagination.

How do you stay fabulous?

I work out and drink plenty of water, don't drink sodas, eat healthy and I sing with my 30 yr old disabled son every day. Friends often tell me it has to be so hard to have to take care of a disabled son and I tell them "he blesses my life every day and saves me" so I need to be an example to him so I do everything in my power to stay fit and fabulous , which means being a light for all to see and care about EVERY individual ,regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, beliefs and lifestyle

What would you do with the $40,000?

I have an 91 yr old blind mother who adopted me and her wish is to go to Peurto Rico one last time (where her and my father lived for years, they were married for 67 years and are still in love even though my father passed 7 years ago. I grew up watching their fairytale love and their time in Puerto Rico was so very special to her so I would take her for a week....if at all possible due to her health. If not I'd do something special for her . The remainder I would put away for my disabled son.
