I promised myself that I'd never actually admit to listening to 'New Kids on the Block.'

I've always been very private, maybe because I discovered my mother, who is a wonderful lady, is very emotional.

Hand me the world on a silver platter, and what good would it be?

Here's my pet peeve: The not-so-unstated rule that all women are only to be treated as sexual objects and gawked at-you know, sitting up against a car, washing something, bending over, licking something. That just drives me crazy.

Many things inspire me. First and foremost, my family, my husband, and our son. I find that the love we share fills me up and makes me see and appreciate life in a different way.

Love is giving of yourself in a way that is free of fear.

To be able to help a 13-year-old kid from the Bronx follow her dreams just by letting her know she's not forgotten in this crazy world - that's why I got involved with Frum Tha Ground Up.
