I love being in the moment. I love my family. I love chocolate. I love baking.

I love making people smile. I get so much energy through interacting and feeling like I've made a difference, a small difference.

Don't ever lose sight of your dreams. And, more importantly, reach for the stars.

Never give up. The bankers and financial people did not take me seriously initially. Everyone thought I would fail. My attitude was that 'No' is an unacceptable answer when it comes to financing.
