While success has hardly come overnight for me, it always comes.

Honestly, I am pretty passionate about avoiding failure!

I had always been an overachiever, so I felt I could just "wing it," reasoning that if I don't set clear, written goals I wouldn't have to account for anything if I failed. Now I'm the opposite! I am always setting goals, and I get very specific about where I'm going and take the time to learn the steps needed to take to get there.

Sometimes it takes you longer for you to realize when a person doesn't have the best of intentions or when it is time to let a person go from your life.

I think the hardest obstacle I've ever had to overcome in my life is the illness and passing of my mother to cancer.

I'm very inspired by personal transformation. I'm so inspired when people who have been living with or struggling against significant obstacles break through and reach the other side of that challenge victoriously.

I have a deeper compassion for those living with cancer, as well as their family members. And now when someone tells me that a loved one passed away, I feel it deeply, as though it were my own relative.
