What makes me fabulously over 40 is that I don’t allow my age (41) to define who I am. My life is just beginning.

I don’t feel the need to be what others want me to be. I don’t need the approval of others to feel good about myself. I’m comfortable in my own skin. My confidence has came from the cumulative experience of life obstacles, hardships and the unexpected loss of my son that should’ve destroyed me, but instead I chose to tap into my inner strength, completely rely on God, and because of that my confidence in the woman I am is top tier. I have learned what it truly means to love myself.
How do you stay fabulous?By being humble, yet confident to know that life can change me, Physically, mentally & emotionally. For myself as a woman over 40 it’s imperative to do what’s necessary to keep my body & my mind in an overall good place. I have learned that putting my mental health 1st is key, and ultimately knowing I have the control to change the trajectory of who I am and how I want to spend my life. It’s all about perspective & removing the things or people that will hold me back from being my best self.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would set aside $10,000 for a memorial bench for my son who passed away and have his bench placed at a butterfly pavilion. I would use some of the money as a down payment on my very OWN first home. I’ve always relied on a man to be the breadwinner, but now that I am divorced and my own breadwinner I want to do something for my family that I can say only I have worked hard for. I would also take a self care trip with a couple of girlfriends as well as a take family trip for my children.
