What’s the best part of life after 40?

Our experiences help us grow and become a better person. We can make life long friendships and strive to be the best we can by giving of ourselves to others in need. I want to continue to learn new things and share this knowledge with those I meet. Having gratitude for all we have and giving back is my philosophy. Every day is a challenge and an opportunity to be kind and accept the things we cannot change. I appreciate each and every day I’ve been blessed with! Thanks for the opportunity.

What makes you feel fabulous?

Realizing I control the thoughts in my brain was a revelation for me. To be able to turn off negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones is an eye opening experience. Losing my leg to cancer so young forced me to find coping mechanisms to return to my positive outlook and be happy once again. Life goes by too fast to not enjoy our time to the fullest. I choose to learn, grow and enjoy what I’ve been given with a positive attitude. I’m friendly, smile a lot, and love good humor.

What would you do with $40,000?

I have a beautiful daughter and like sharing with her. Money is a form of security and to have extra in an emergency is a very safe feeling. I’ll keep it to help her, my friends and myself when we need it. I would be very grateful to receive this huge gift. I have a BA in psychology and I’m a nurse. I was a dermatology surgery assistant. I liked working in the healthcare industry. Have a wonderful exciting year in 2025 and 2026.
