I've got nine dogs, eight birds, turtles, fish and I had wallabies at one point.

I'm a writer and this is what I love to do.

My guitar and singing was my way of crying.

Everybody's not as fortunate as I've been that can have their hubby with them on the road, that we can do whatever we want and mainly be honest with the kids. Just the time that you do give them, make it be great time. It doesn't have to be hours.

I am trying to teach my children to feel a responsibility for their fellow human beings and a sense of connection with ... the world around them.

Later in life, the memories I have of my mother are of constant work balanced with caring for my ailing father.

The responsibility of carrying and bringing a new life into this world is one that cannot be taken lightly.
