What do you love about being over 40?

I love that I feel more secure about myself. I know without a doubt there is nothing I can’t overcome. I love that I have overcome great obstacles in my life starting with being abused as a child and then being married to an abusive husband. Who i divorced. I love the relationship I have with my boys and the fact that in November I’m going to have a granddaughter. I love the fact that because of my past, I am now able to help others who suffer from ptsd from past trauma.

How do you stay fabulous?

I stay fabulous by working on myself both physically and mentally.

What would you do with the $40,000?

After my divorce, I lost everything. Not because my ex husband took everything, but because I left it all behind to save my children and myself from a toxic environment. Had I not left, I probably wouldn’t still be here today. I am in the process of relocating my family to Florida. There I will rebuild my handyman service or handywoman I should say while earning a degree in counseling so I may help the victims of sex trafficking at the non profit safe haven my sister volunteers at.
