Caring for others has given me a joyful fulfilling life as I age, & being one of very few in my family to own a home, & land.

What do you love about being over 40?

Wisdom, growth that comes with aging. I appreciate the smaller things in life that some people take for granted. Seeing the world completely different from what I did previously. I have learned to love myself, and all of my imperfections as they make me who I am.

How do you stay fabulous?

I wholeheartedly believe by me putting others first, and being selfless I bring a certain peace to my soul which makes me feel great inside that sprinkle me with youthfulness putting a smile on my face instead of a frown that can cause wrinkles. (Hahaha). I eat healthier now because I know it gives me longevity of life, & I don’t stress about things that I have no control over.

What would you do with the $40,000?

With half of it I would help some mothers at the domestic violence shelter with a down payment on a place to live for them and their children, and school cloths for the less fortunate. Because unfortunately I know what it’s like to be a child at the shelter, and having seen my mother struggle living in one. I would also help some family members who struggle, and pay up the taxes on my home with any remaining balance.
