Our marriage is strictly in name only. It has never been consummated.

Don't close the book when bad things happen in your life! Just turn the page and start a new chapter!

Michael and I talk at least every two weeks. He understands why I've done the things I have.

I realize now I didn't really want to die. I just wanted to stop the hurt and pain.

I'll be honest with you: love is not always what we think it is. It is a roller coaster ride going through this, and it's beautiful at the same time.

It's good to do things that are out of the norm. I'm a creature of habit and I like to stay in my own little comfort zone, but you have to reach out of that sometimes. And when you do that, you grow. And growth is what we all need and what we all strive for because we want to get better and better and better each day. And that's one of the things that I say to myself as far as a ritual that I have every day: "What can I do today to make it better than it was yesterday?"

I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future.
