I love the wisdom and growth that time affords. Being over 40 and feeling good in my skin! Knowing myself better and the world around me and learning how to gracefully, and sometimes not, navigate the ebbs and flows that the gift of life and aging bring.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by staying centered, present and practicing self care. A healthy mix of work and play, sprinkled with joy and community are my own secret sauce to a life well lived and abundant in laughter and love.
What would you do with the $40,000?After losing my husband to cancer, surviving and thriving after cancer three times, I would use the generous gift of $40k to follow the bread crumbs of my dreams and travel to remind myself who I am and reignite my passion for adventure. I would use it as a catalyst to restart my next chapter of my life and write my long overdue memoir of my life and the less traveled road that I forged.
