If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire...if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores...if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote...if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time...if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream...and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love...then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.

To me, with age, everything has gotten better. You have way more control; you know yourself better.

We can aim to create a culture, where kids ask for healthy options instead of resisting them.

I've always been a closet jock, but when I got married and had kids, that fell by the wayside.

I'm varying my workouts so it's not just cardio but also includes moves to maintain my flexibility.

Walk away from 'friendships' that make you feel small and insecure, and seek out people who inspire you and support you
