What do you love about being over 40?

"Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there's a big disappointment, we don't know if that's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We don't know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don't know.” Words: Pema Chodron. I no longer care about the judgements of other people. I live my life on my own terms, keeping alignment with my values and priorities.

How do you stay fabulous?

My 2 dogs-Timber and Wolfie, doing science, teaching college juniors and seniors, a regular yoga practice, vegetarian diet, backpacking, hiking, and trivia. I take time for rest when I need it as well.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would use these funds to support a non-profit and pay down some of my student loan debt.
