There is plenty of room for us all to succeed and carve our own path.

Cooking brings me so much joy. I love everything, down to the execution of the plate to picking out fresh ingredients at the market. It makes me deeply grateful and aware of where our food comes from and how feeding people is another way of saying, "I love you."

No cheating, clean up your self-induced fear act, and replace it with what you love.

Not everyone will love you, and that's completely OK.

Stand up for what you believe in even if it causes waves.

There is a “yoga body” aesthetic, which is long and sinewy. I am curvy. I get praised on a regular basis, with people telling me, “Wow, you're so brave,” simply for showing my curvy body. Being brave is going to war; being curvy is not brave. We need to be careful with how we use our words.
