Walking through this life really is walking through fire.

It's time for those of us who have a voice to speak out for life, for love and for justice using the same media we've used throughout our careers.

I love to sing. It's the easiest thing for me to do.

But really, we also need to learn how to love one another as women. How to appreciate and respect each other.

If we could just see how related we all are, how we're really all in the same place.

Your moment of clarity comes when you face your fears. Sobriety gave me back me - my life. Self-medication kills you slowly. You can never get a handle on that. It's a highly destructive force that has to be dealt with on a spiritual level as much as a physical one.

As you get older, though, you realize there are fire extinguishers. You do have an ability to control the flames.
