It's a life's journey of finding ourselves, finding our power, and living for yourself, not for everyone else.

I'm an L.A. girl who became a tough New York cop.

No one can take away your pain, so don't let anyone take away your happiness.

If I can play a little part in the world's healing, and making it a better place than when I came, then I just thank God for that chance.

Just smiling at someone walking down the street can make the person's day. It's all about paying it forward.

Your body is not who you are. I don't think women should label themselves based on the way they look. What about defining yourself by a different kind of measurement? What about your heart, your soul, your compassion, your generosity, your strength and your power? There are so many other things to focus on besides your waistline.

You know how you wake up in the morning and sometimes you look gorgeous and other times you look like you got hit by a mack truck? I realized that my mack truck is food. If I have no sugar, yeast or wine, I have no undereye bags and my skin is perfect.
