1. I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.
2. I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.
3. Whatever has happened to you in your past has no power over this present moment, because life is now.
4. The struggle of my life created empathy - I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.
5. If you want to accomplish the goals of your life, you have to begin with the spirit.
6. I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school, and our life the classrooms.
7. I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.
8. My therapy has come from paying attention to my life.
9. I had become so accustomed to succeeding that I no longer even remembered what it was like to fail.
10. It's much easier for me to make major life, multi-million dollar decisions, than it is to decide on a carpet for my front porch. That's the truth.
