My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you I the best place for the next moment.

I remember a specific moment, watching my grandmother hang the clothes on the line, and her saying to me, ‘you are going to have to learn to do this,’ and me being in that space of awareness and knowing that my life would not be the same as my grandmother’s life.

I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.

I don’t think you ever stop giving. I really don’t. I think it’s an on-going process. And it’s not just about being able to write a check. It’s being able to touch somebody’s life.

What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people’s lives.

I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.

The struggle of my life created empathy – I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.

The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.

I am a woman in process. I’m just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
