We wake up and are grateful for the day. Not taking away from the pain, because the pain will be there. But you live on.

I have had someone wonderful things happen to me during my career and lifetime. Of course, personally, the birth of my daughter is the highlight of my life.

I love that quiet time when nobody's up and the animals are all happy to see me.

I'm an 18-years thriver, I call myself, not a survivor, because I feel like I'm in thriving my life even better than I ever have, and I want to encourage other women that are going through this journey that here I am.

I am not embarrassed to say that when I was at my worst I took anti-depressants because I think people need to hear that. I think if you are in a dark place where you can't pull yourself out, you may need to ask for help.

I live every day to its fullest extent and I don't sweat the small stuff.

I would not be comfortable appearing in a country where they have permitted the destruction of such beautiful and intelligent animals.
