At 42, I’m a wife, mom of 3 (oldest in college), attorney, law professor, and cute! With God guiding me, I’m more fabulous than ever!

I’ve hit the sweet spot where I have enough life experience to know better but still the energy and ambition to go after what I want. It’s like reaching a mountain summit—everything behind me was training for this moment, and the view is incredible. I have the freedom to embrace who I am, trust my instincts, and say “no” without guilt and “yes” without hesitation. I’m done playing small. It’s time to turn wisdom into action and live boldly—and I’m just getting started!
How do you stay fabulous?Fabulousness is about confidence and loving oneself! I keep my skin glowing, my laughter loud, and my circle small. I hydrate (mostly), but never skip a good cocktail with friends who make me laugh until I’m in tears. I embrace self-care—spa days, dance breaks, and saying “no” to anything that messes with my peace. I play with my style and wear what makes me feel fierce… not desperate. I’ve got too much seasoning for that! Fabulous isn’t about perfection—it’s living boldly!
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I’d start by thanking God and try to keep my family from planning how to spend it before I do! I’d invest in personal growth—learning opportunities or projects to expand my potential. Next, I’d dedicate some to experiences—traveling somewhere for unforgettable family moments, because memories outlast possessions. Then, I’d give back to causes I care about, making it meaningful beyond myself. And yes, I’d save some, because knowing my family, they’ll have plenty of ideas!
