Your life shouldn't be anything short of spectacular.

Keeping stationary drains your brain, but moving around shows you new things, new inspiration, and keeps the blood moving.

More than anything, having adventures with my siblings and spending time with my family and my husband make me happy.

My dad, who is a heart surgeon, works with many adult patients who did not take good care of their bodies in their formative years. He is able to teach them how to break old eating and exercise habits and reshape their bodies, but not without a great deal of resistance.

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.

Having been to culinary school, the single greatest asset I learned there was how to cut and chop properly. It's an investment of money that will save you hours of time down the road, and hopefully some cut fingers.

Worrying is just a prayer for the worst possible scenario.
