The first time I took a Kundalini yoga class, I cried my eyes out afterwards. I was so moved by the meditation and singing "Long Time Sun" at the end of class. I felt like I was home.

Who are you? Be it. What do you love to do? Do it. Who do you love? Love them. The result: a fulfilling life.

Follow our hearts. Live our dreams. Tell the truth.

The cause I am most passionate about is natural birthing. I had my son at home, and it was the most primal, intuitive, empowering, and loving experience I've ever had.

I come alive the most when I am talking with people about following their dreams. Inspirational speaking is something I am very passionate about and will be doing more of.

My son. He makes my heart grow bigger and bigger each day. There is nothing I love more than being his mommy.

We have souls. And guardian angels. We are never alone. I feel so comforted knowing this.

I'm a closet singer-songwriter. That keeps my creative juices flowing.

With my schedule, I don't have much time to get to yoga classes, but I do keep a mat in my trailer and practice for a few minutes most days. It keeps me centered.

When I travel, there are no rules with my diet. I eat whatever looks good, but in small portions. Food is such a rich part of the travel experience. There is no way I would cut that out!

I was studying to be a legal secretary when I was called to audition for 'Ken.'

Very few worries can stand against the influence of a good long walk ... How many petty annoyances have I thus walked away!

Peace on earth and good will toward men - that is something we need to work on. Like Nelson Mandela, we should learn from him.

How shall we ever know if it's morning if there's no servant to pull up the blinds?

If more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place in which to live.

For me, photographs take their power from memory and emotion. A picture tells its own story, shaped by the mood or insights of the person you are at the time you see it.

At 4, I joined a summer rec team called the Sugar Bears.
