What do you love about being over 40?

I've got a better wisdom and understanding of Life navigating through its obstacles. I know who I am and I unapologetically own it and don't let anyone mess with my light. I was in a domestic abuse relationship and I was scared of being myself. When I kicked him out and after a lot of healing I tattooed my face with my tribal tattoos from my tribe in the Amazon forest and decided to take the space I want instead of being invisible and only get the space one will give me.

How do you stay fabulous?

I set my mind on goals either they're small or big and always make sure I go for things my guts thrive for instead of going for things imposed by society. I make sure I choose carefully who comes into my bubble of peace and protect it at all price. I take care of my soul as much as I take care of my body.. My son is my fuel , keeps me going when I get discouraged. I want him to remember me as the one that was always there for him, providing and caring.

What would you do with the $40,000?

Open my own tattoo studio with a gym attached to it as these are my two passions and two of my three jobs. Finally live a life where I can decide of my own schedule, spoil my seven year old son and spend all the time I want with him before he's too grown up, and secure his future. He deserves a good life and a beautiful future after everything he went through. He's my light and my rock and I want to give him everything I can't give him right now.
