Your life shouldn't be anything short of spectacular.

Standards are what you hold for yourself, too. If I don't hold those standards with friends, colleagues, and lovers, I can't hold them to their relationships.

Worrying is just a prayer for the worst possible scenario.

I didn't grow up eating meat - I was a vegetarian until I was 18.

My mom is a great cook, and family dinners were a must growing up, even if that meant eating at 10 p.m. when my dad got home from the hospital. It's where we did our family bonding.

I am inspired by working moms. Mothers who somehow balance the demands of their many lives - professional, familial, personal, and interior - and still manage to make time to have fun and invest in themselves! This is a huge challenge that I look forward to taking on.

I am proactive and looking to change my own behavior rather than others' - which is generally much more successful!
