When I was going through menopause, I didn't sleep. I didn't sleep for two years and ended up blowing out my thyroid, and I became nonfunctional. It's difficult to remain fully present if I'm not getting enough sleep, so I work at getting enough.

You are the single biggest influence in your life.

Anybody pretending to be anything other than who you really are-you will never, ever reach your personal potential.

Align your personality with your purpose, and no one can touch you.

The chance to love and be loved exists no matter who or where you are.

You are what you are by what you BELIEVE!
