What do you love about being over 40?

I love the life lessons that I have learned about trust integrity and friendship. I love being a positive example to the gorgeous girls in my community and being able to help them be their best selves. I love my independence to be able to try to make a difference in my community. I truly enjoy when women and men are thriving and knowing there are people that are encouraging and willing to listen and offer advise if asked.

How do you stay fabulous?

I believe a positive attitude goes a long way. I find that a person must never lose hope and how the finest act of kindness and a genuine smile can do so much for the receiver and the give. Living in Southern Idaho with desert and mountains all around keeps me grounded every time I take a hike in my happy place. Seeing my three sons and nine Grandchildren as they grow is such a blessing. I love when my Grands call me the "Fun Grandma." My place of employment still brings me Joy after 25 year

What would you do with the $40,000?

Working at my community hospital and being a breast cancer survivor, I would establish a fund to help women and men with no insurance be able to receive a screening mammogram. I would challenge local businesses to match funds to make this sustainable
