My children inspire me with their innocence and enormous capacity to love.

One of the hardest obstacles I've had to overcome in my life was not understanding how to draw healthy boundaries. I finally learned it's perfectly OK to say no.

My children inspire me with their innocence and enormous capacity to love.

I stay balanced by remembering to prioritize. What is most important should never be railroaded by the "tyranny of the urgent." My relationship with God, my devotion to my husband, my responsibilities to my children, loving others, and, of course, remaining grateful for the blessings that I have. Like getting to do what I love for a living. And trust me, I am.

Understanding what you're OK with and what you're not OK with is so important to learn.

As far as physical health goes, I try to eat in a balanced way, sleep enough, and stay active.
