What’s the best part of life after 40?

Clarity-& confidence-At 58 I know what (and who) matters. I have learned to say no without guilt and yes without fear. Freedom from Comparison – I stopped measuring myself by others’ timelines or expectations. It’s your story now, not a checklist. Deeper Joy in Simple Things – A good cup of coffee, quiet mornings, laughter that comes from deep in your belly — you feel these moments more fully than ever before. Resilience and Wisdom – I survived enough to know I can handle anything through God.

What makes you feel fabulous?

I’m in the best shape of my life, I am not afraid to go to a club by myself, ask a man out, or try something new. I have a wonderful career, beautiful children, and awesome opportunities every day.

What would you do with $40,000?

I would pay for my dream trip to Hawaii with my twin girls and help my daughters pay off their student loans.
