It wasn't about me trying to lose weight. It was all about emotions.

Raising children pushed me to walk the walk and practice life as I preach it.

Priorities and purpose help keep us on track.

Raising children has given me a compassionate and gracious heart for all children and people, realizing we don't always know the circumstances behind closed doors.

I don't think balance is ever achieved in the full sense of the word. Life is more like a juggling act, spinning plates in the air, allowing some to drop, and picking them back up or adding new ones when the timing is right.

Almost everyone thinks they are a good person, but the question you should be asking is, am I good enough to go to Heaven? How would you know?

I really do feel like I'm in better shape and look better now - even after having three kids - than I did before.
