I am a swimming instructor to kids, mother of 4 adult children, author, just trying to do good each day. Love to swim and care for my roses.

Being over 40 is terrific….59 actually. I have worked hard, raised my children and it’s ME time now! I can do what I want each day, exercise, read a book and write, just make my choices. Love that I can spend time with my man Greg who inspires me to stay active. We enjoy each other’s company so much, I am lucky we found each other. Happy I can do things with my Mom who’s 90 years young!
How do you stay fabulous?I stay busy. I am a licensed Esthetician so I do my own skincare, cleanse, exfoliate, use toner and rehydrate. Plus use SPF moisturizer. I diet and exercise 2-3x a week. I have lost 20 lbs since March just by eating more fruits and vegetables, less red meat and not drinking as much alcohol. I am aware that our body is what we put in and how we take care of it. I will also say I have gone through a rough menopause and now have my hormones balanced and feel fabulous!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would try and open my own swim school! I have been a certified swimming instructor for over 25 years and it’s time I have my own facility. I drive to a clients home/pool and teach 4-8 30 min swimming lessons. Learning to swim is a life-long skill. Drowning is a leading cause of death for children in the US. Children under 5 yrs old need to learn to swim. If I open a swim school, I would offer some free swimming lessons in my community to help children in households with low income.
