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.

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.

I am doing what I am supposed to be doing right now. I smile knowing that I have the most wonderful husband, family, and friends. I work with friends whom I can learn from and whom I respect and who respect me.

I have so many girlfriends in their twenties who live in a white box apartment, having mediocre meals with mediocre friends, waiting for the life they want to hit them in their forties or fifties. They are settling in the now - what's the point?

Fun for me is to take what I learn and teach others in a way that is accessible and applicable in their own lives.

Don't get stuck and don't worry.

I tried every diet under the sun and none of them worked but, more importantly, they were robbing me of my love of food.
