It is never too late to master your weaknesses.

Who am I? I'm a survivor. I'm a woman with tremendous inner resources and resilience. I care about people. I believe in 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,' and I live by that. I am becoming authentic, and that's important to me. I have surpassed both my parents in terms of emotional stability, happiness and well-being. And I'm a lucky woman. I've deserved my luck.

Everyone should know that feeling of overcoming fear and mastering something. People who aren't taught that become soggy.

Women are not forgiven for aging.
