What do you love about being over 40?

Now that my children are nearly all adults, it will be time for me to learn to live and take care of myself. The past 24 years, I was in the military and raising my children mostly by myself and basically no me time. I want to discover the world and maybe meet a special someone in the process, who knows!! Let's start by putting myself out there and let the world know that I exist!! 🤣

How do you stay fabulous?

Family is the most important thing to me, so I cherish the time we are spending together! They say that I'm young at heart, that's part of my charm! I take care of my mind and body, by staying in active and having a vision board. I have many projects and countries I would like to visit and learn new cultures. I want to do some volunteering work around the world and to be representing the breast cancer cause would be the last gift I would like to offer to my late mother.

What would you do with the $40,000?

Being a single mom for a long time and having only 1 income for the household has been challenging. I would like to pay off some debts and make donations. I never got the chance to travel with my children, so I would like to offer them a family vacation as well.
