Growing up in my family, it wasn't important that we always be the best; it was important that we were going to try to be our best and give it our all.

If you have expectations, you try to put your standards on someone else's behavior. The fact is you can't control anyone but yourself, so creating standards, as opposed to expectations, keeps the ball in your court.

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

I get to help people create lives that make them happier and healthier than they were yesterday. I knock on wood that my family is healthy and happy and love each other.

After my first week of no wheat, my stomachaches were gone, my mucous cleared up, and I felt incredibly energetic. My headaches were also less frequent and less severe, and I had lost 3 pounds, most of it swelling and water weight my body had been holding onto as part of its response to the wheat products in my diet.

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

I love to look at my life and look at what I can do better, how I can contribute more and where I can push myself.
