I’ve elected to age gracefully.

I wish I had been a better mother and a more compassionate and understanding wife in both of my marriages.

Our thoughts really do create our lives. They've done a lot of research showing if you're an optimistic, positive person you will be a healthier person than if you're a sad, depressed, negative person.

I sleep with my gun on my bedside table. I live alone; it is my protection and makes me feel safer.

For anyone going through a divorce or any other painful challenge, the first and most important recommendation I can make is to find some kind of spiritual and emotional support.

Being friends with anyone for 30 years is no easy task - people change, they drift apart, they move on.

I used to think that divorce meant failure, but now I see it more as a step along the path of self-realization and growth.
