As much as I would have liked to have kept my cancer private, I now realize that I have a certain responsibility to those who are fighting their own fights and may be able to benefit from learning about mine.

My number one goal is to love, support and be there for my son.

As I've gotten older, I've found that I can have men as friends. I used to not be able to.

The reason the all-American boy prefers beauty over brains is that the all-American boy can see better than he can think.

God gave women instinct and womanliness. Utilized appropriately, the combo effortlessly disorders the mind of any man I've ever met.

But I must never forget how blessed I have been. God has given me gifts and happiness, beyond any of my simple desires. My deepest desire now is to simply live... So with hope and determination, I'd hold on and go on.

I am proud of what I have got and I need an audience.
