What’s the best part of life after 40?

The best part of life after 40 is knowing who I am and that there is nothing stopping me from pursuing my dreams and achieving my goals. As a life long learner, I knew that I could learn anything I put my mind to learning, but as a woman over 40, I had the life experience to put those skills into action and achievement.

What makes you feel fabulous?

What makes me feel fabulous is staying active and challenging myself, both physically and mentally. There’s nothing like that post-workout energy! Lately, what’s lighting up my life is salsa dancing. Salsa has been an exhilarating adventure. Every class pushes me out of my comfort zone, connects me with my body, and expands my mind. I love seeing the progress I’ve made on the dance floor. Fitness gives me energy, but dance fills me with joy!

What would you do with $40,000?

If I were fortunate enough to win the prize money, my heart would immediately turn to giving back as a way for me to create lasting, positive change in the world. I’m passionate about several children’s and animal charities, and I would feel compelled to support them with a generous portion of my winnings. At the same time, it’s also important for me to nurture my own roots and connections by reserving a small part of the prize money to travel with my family and trace our heritage together.
