What do you love about being over 40?

The confidence that comes with it and the true will to be unapologetically happy and live a fulfilling life in all areas. I might not have the perfect figure, according to Runaways, but I embrace myself as the person I became on this body and skin, from my ethnicity. Having an adult son can be a great joy as much as having them small. I can travel alone or with company and have a great time either way. I am not afraid to start an interesting conversation with anyone in a social gathering.

How do you stay fabulous?

I do weight training three times a week and get my monthly skin facials in my favorite spa. I don't drink and respect my beauty sleep. My mind is always on the go with projects, and I travel a few times a year in a frugal but very satisfying manner. I find time to play piano in a community recital every couple of months, which fills me with great joy. I also enjoy singing either in public or alone, which maintains my mental health balance.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I'd go to an immunotherapy center in Brazil for my lupus condition for a month; I would pay my son's living expenses while he goes to Trade School until June 2025 in Quebec; he has a learning disability and can't work while studying as he gets anxious easily. I have brought my son up alone since 2009. Also, I'd like to ha a civil wedding in Colombia this Christmas! My fiancée and family are there; he visited his home country after losing his job. He was hospitalized for a month while visiting.
