There is a comfortable feeling in small towns. It is salubrious.

I think the human body is beautiful, and I don't really have a huge problem in dealing with it, but it's the context, the environment and what I feel about it that that makes the difference for me.

As a single mother of four, my mother taught me that you always want to show up strong for the moments that really matter with family, friends, and community. I now recognize how her strength helped shape the person I am today and the mother that I have become.

I loved dancing as a young girl.

I love the idea of living a life that is completely humble and quiet.

I like to work out every day. I run, walk, do machines. I'm not neurotic about food. My rule is, don't let yourself get over a certain weight. If you gain 5lb, stop before it gets worse.

I love being an advocate for women as we get older so that we can feel comfortable with ourselves. It's all about being healthy for me now.
