I think our job as parents is to give our kids roots to grow and wings to fly.

I now find magic in the mundane. I'm also more creative - better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles.

The biggest surprise, which is also the best, is that I didn't know I would love motherhood as much as I do.

I was brought up Methodist, christened as a little baby and went to church every Sunday.

So many self-help ideas are like meringue - you take a big bite, and there's nothing there.

When my mother passed away I was 20.

There is no dramatic difference in happiness on the part of people who are wealthy.
