I've learned that one of my greatest secrets is scheduling downtime into a busy schedule. This gives me the time to have quality moments with my husband and son, who both recharge my spirit in ways I never imagined.

I don't know if we tell women great news about themselves enough. You'd be surprised how often a young woman doesn't hear positive things about herself - not in her home, not at school. It's hard to create a beautiful image for yourself when you've never seen it or heard it.

I pray before everything. When I wake up, before I eat, before I perform, before I go to sleep, in the moments I need guidance.

And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.

If I can remain excited about the music that I'm giving you, then you're damn sure going to be excited about it.

Be driven, be focused, but enjoy every moment, because it only happens once.

I'm having an unbelievable time on the road. I am taking the time to explore each new city in a way I never have before.
