Don't block your blessings. Don't let doubt stop you from getting where you want to be.

I am completely in charge of the choices I make about what I am doing to lose weight and get healthy. And you know what? We all have this power. Don’t be angry with me for something good I’ve done for myself. Be angry with yourself for not having the courage to do the same in your own life.

I didn't start singing with my eyes open until I was 19 - that's how shy I was!

The only way you can sustain a permanent change is to create a new way of thinking, acting, and being.

Even though I am extremely blessed to have accomplished many of my goals at such a young age, I am still reaching, still striving.

The church has given me balance.

I was brought up singing gospel, and I really enjoy getting the church up on their feet, their hips swaying, their hands clapping, it's a great feeling to evoke that energy for the Lord.
