I have a golden Lab who goes everywhere with me. He's a great leveler.

Let's face it, life is a constant challenge. It's full of unexpected detours that no one but you can navigate.

I had the luxury of falling down a few times and picking myself up as a stronger version of myself.

People don't realize that I'm really funny and I'm an excellent bridge player.

We used to sing along to Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald records together. She had the most amazing voice ... She's always encouraged me, and she's still that person who, when things look dire, lifts me up and reminds me of who I am and that we all have a capacity for greatness.

Then when I cut my hair short, my career tanked for about four years!

One of the things that has changed my life - and this comes from someone who was highly self-critical and a type-A personality - is meditating. The simple act of making my brain shut off for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at night may not seem like much, but what ends up happening, besides creating space in your day, is your awake posture begins to replicate your meditative posture.
