What’s the best part of life after 40?

Realizing my worth. I love that I’ve learned to be ok with not being liked, I’ve learned to be myself and be ok with that and that saying no is ok! Enjoying concerts, time with kids and grandchildren.

What makes you feel fabulous?

Just loving my life the way it is. Being happy with what I have in life and who I am as a person despite others opinions. Accepting others opinions even if they aren’t always kind opinions. Realizing I can be the nicest person to everyone and people will still dislike me and that’s ok. I know that not everyone is respectful nor do they love others the way I do. I love clean, being toxic free, Working out, hiking and enjoying the beautiful state of Arizona!

What would you do with $40,000?

I have built up so much debt due to helping others in their times of need. My husband and I are just very generous people, when we see somebody in need, we just can’t say no to helping them out even if we don’t have it, which sometimes means using a credit card. However, I wouldn’t change a thing. I would like to continue to help others In need and to be able to spend quality time with family! I would like to start a nonprofit profit to help families with dementia as my mom has dementia.
