What’s the best part of life after 40?

At 40, well now 50 I finally understand that life doesn’t peak—it unfolds. The best part now is the freedom to be fully myself. I’ve learned that peace is stronger than perfection and joy is something we create, not chase. Every day feels like a second chance to grow, love, and shine brighter than before. I’m not starting over—I’m starting better, with wisdom in my heart and confidence in my stride

What makes you feel fabulous?

At 50, I feel fabulous because I’ve made peace with every version of me. The dreamer, the fighter, the one who fell apart and I'm building myself back up. I wear my strength like perfume—subtle but unmistakable. I trust my gut, protect my peace, and let joy find me in small, wild ways. I don’t need to be perfect anymore—just present, and beautifully alive.

What would you do with $40,000?

If I won $40,000 I’m ready to make it count. I want to see the world, not just for escape, but to learn, grow, and come home with stories worth telling. I want to help my family breathe easier—lift some weight off their shoulders. And I want to invest in myself, not just in things, but in purpose. This money isn’t my finish line—it’s my beginning, a seed for the life I’ve dreamed of living.
