Becoming a parent erased many of my negative childhood feelings and filled them in with something new.

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

My weekends are extremely precious.

The only reason I have the career I have is that I didn't quit.

When my body is strong, I feel stronger inside. I feel more capable of handling emotional situations. Usually I'm more of a inside-out person, but this was a great case of me from the outside in.

Sixty-five percent of Americans don't have the conversation with their children. So you're sending off boys and girls off to college, off to high school, off to wherever they go, and nobody's had the conversation about how to conduct themselves. About a man telling his son how to be a man. How to respect a woman. How do you respect yourself?

Sometimes things in life happen that allow us to understand our priorities very clearly. Ultimately you can see those as gifts.
