As far as I'm concerned, my life is just beginning. It's never too late to start over, so this is what I've been doing.

I've learned what Trump has taught - we need to put our best foot forward and don't let anybody block us from anything that we wish to do or want to do.

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

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 think women need to have a lobby. I feel that women need to speak out. The first time a man hits you is one too many times and you need to do something about it. That something about it is walking out that door and seeking for help and never looking back.

I knew that there was an underlying thing there that I was never really able to come face to face with. There's a part of me that wants to always protect myself because of what I had gone through. But I learned that you have to let people in. Going to the therapist kind of helped me with that.

I can't say it's not painful being estranged from most of my family. I wish it could be otherwise.
