I've always expressed myself best through writing. I've gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.

I've stepped more into my business and really... taken control for how I want that to be.

You can be very fulfilled as a mother, but that can't be the only way you are fulfilled. What about being a woman? What about being yourself? Your awareness of what's happening in the world? It lives altogether in a way that makes a whole. I guess I'd say I'm the wholest I've ever been.

Wait, I'm deciding to be my own individual self. And it looks nothing like what anyone else is doing.

Simplicity makes me happy.

How terrible would it have been if I had come out with some watered-down version of who I am? People fell in love with the real me, and I still feel blessed that that was how the journey began.

If I didn't love it, I would not record it.
