We're taught to take care of people we love, but sometimes you can't.

Self-Realization Fellowship seemed like training. It was the training ground for finding a sense of peace in myself. Because that's my job. It's no one else's.

I don't take myself terribly seriously. It's why I can be incredibly honest about my life.

I got back into the position of taking care of my husband, which is what I'd learned that I couldn't really do: you can love and make things okay to a certain extent, but you can't fix. I didn't quite learn that until the kayaking incident. It became so clear then.

Once you take care of yourself, you become the example, and then everybody around you can change.
