I've always tried to stay true to my authentic self.

Be bold, be humble, be brave, be resilient, be productive, be good, good to yourselves and good to each other. Be careful; be caring.

Dig deep and believe in yourself and have the self-confidence you need to forge ahead.

~I don't always have a lot of energy, but my kids almost always revitalize me. Of course like any working mom, sometimes I'm guilt-ridden. I think I should be sitting down doing an educational computer game with Carrie or taking Ellie to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These kids are such sponges, and I should be taking advantage of that.~

My daughters depend on me for a lot more than food, clothing and shelter. They depend on me as an example of how to go on.

The sooner you learn that life is not fair, the better off you'll be.

Obviously I love doing newsmaker interviews, and if I can contribute in any way to that, I would love to. I love reporting, getting out in the field and talking to people about various issues.
