To be a good parent, you need to take care of yourself so that you can have the physical and emotional energy to take care of your family.

Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much. They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did, in fact, they admired it.

It is our fundamental belief in the power of hope that has allowed us to rise above the voices of doubt and division, of anger and fear that we have faced in our own lives and in the life of America.

People want to feel hopeful.

You look at all the sporting companies out there. I won't name names, but we know who they are. Good brands and logos and things like that, and they have to start catering to real women. Even in how their sports apparel is designed, and the commercials - you want to look at a commercial and see yourself.

America is just downright mean.

We've got a responsibility to live up to the legacy of those who came before us by doing all that we can to help those who come after us.
