What do you love about being over 40?

Appreciate life , every minute, when your younger time seems to be taken for granted, The older I get the more I appreciate it.

How do you stay fabulous?

My 2 great nephews, Luke is 12 he has Autism, Love gospel music, going to gospel concerts, we’ve been to 2 so far this year , have 2 more planned to go to and already have tickets to a concert next February 2025. My other great nephew Nolan is 8 he has ADHD, loves music also , he’s actually taking piano lessons this year, So Nolan goes to elementary school in locust grove ( where we live) Luke goes to Middle school in McDonough, Nolan has Piano lessons in Stockbridge, I take them everyday .

What would you do with the $40,000?

I’m in need of dental work, caring for my mom I didn’t have dental insurance and now helping with my great nephews, I don’t have any insurance…Luke asks me daily why I’m so sad because I don’t smile. I’m not sad , I don’t want them to see how bad my teeth are . I’m ashamed on one hand but the other hand I’d lose the ones I do have left if i could care for my mom again.
