Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn't an option; to me, divorce equaled failure. I wasn't able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.

I'm 47, You learn life is short and it's not worth doing something if you don't enjoy it.

I don't spend time wondering what might be next; I just focus on trying to savor every day.

My upbringing did not create a healthy affection for confrontation. I'd love it if everyone always got along, and nothing ever got tense.

I almost never make stuff out of cookbooks because they're either too complicated or there's an ingredient in there that I can't find.

People who truly love to sing have to do it all the time.

I absolutely refused to make out with the gorgeous male model.
