I love being over 40 because it truly feels like my life began at that age. I love being a mother of 2 grown sons and 3 grown stepkids. I've gained a deeper appreciation for my health and fitness, focusing on being in great shape and looking my best. I've learned that it’s never too late to pursue new experiences and goals. This period has been about embracing change, celebrating achievements, and realizing that every stage of life has unique opportunities for growth and happiness.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by embracing confidence as my foundation. I prioritize my health with regular exercise and a balanced diet, focusing on self-care through activities like reading. Lifelong learning keeps my mind sharp, and I enjoy exploring new interests. I cultivate meaningful relationships with positive, supportive people. Most importantly, I practice gratitude and lean on my faith in God, celebrating my achievements and experiences, which helps me maintain a vibrant outlook on life.
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I’d pay off debts and invest in a diverse portfolio for long-term growth. I’d also consider furthering my education to enhance my career and set aside funds for travel and enriching experiences. A significant portion would go toward helping others, including donating to local churches and supporting programs for homeless individuals. I believe in giving back to my community, funding initiatives that provide shelter, food, and resources to those in need.
