Take a chance. Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know. And don’t fall in love with Plan A.

Our marriage, like many others, has had its ups and its downs. It took a lot of work and a whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony. It was not an easy choice in any way. But I made the decision that it was worth staying in this marriage. That was a decision I made for me, for our son and for our family.

We discussed all of this before Anthony decided to run for mayor, so really what I want to say is I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him, and as we have said from the beginning, we are moving forward.

In some tiny, tiny way I am part of history, but I am also able to help people.

Take a chance. Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know. And don’t fall in love with Plan A.
