Christmas comes during a season when the Earth is in its darkest time. It's a holiday for the family and for everyone.

You are more powerful than you know; you are beautiful just as you are.

Be strong, believe in who you are; be strong, believe in what you feel.

It was tough being a single mom. It was tough being in a divorce with children. Very, very hard.
