This loss has left me truly heartbroken. Robin Williams was one of the brightest, most loving & wonderful people I've ever been blessed to know. I'll miss him more than I can ever express in words.

I've learned from life experiences. If you go through certain things, you're able to pull from them.

I am so not technically proficient at all.

People figure because I'm blonde and was a model, I just waltzed into Los Angeles and got major roles in major films.

Most women do not realize that heart disease is the #1 killer of American women.

Well, I am not really a conventional mom at all. Like, I had my kids really young. I had Danny when I was 18 or 19 and then Liam when I was 23 and Molly, I had when I was a little older.

I had to go for a mammogram - my first mammogram ever - and It was really scary and I didn't know what to expect.

I'm taking better care of myself by eating healthy, exercising and doing my best to keep my stress level down as well as role modeling good habits for my kids.

I love to clean. I love to cook.

Yeah, I think there are a lot of things about Cleveland that I miss. Los Angeles is a funny place to live.

Well, I don't like yoga. I've got a thousand things to do.

Perfect love happens not when you're ready but when you least expect, at the most imperfect moment under unpredictable circumstances! Expect Not, Trust Existence!

Seasons happened and things got colder and harder and suddenly I found myself smoking circles in the airby myself in the snowand I was not okay.

Teach us, O Lord, the disciplines of patience, for to wait is often harder than to work.

Soon it will be a sin of parents to have a child that carries the heavy burden of genetic disease. We are entering a world where we have to consider the quality of our children.

Mercy surpasses justice.

I think of Mercy Watson like a superball; there's a bouncy kind of optimism to her stories. She allows me to play, and she makes me laugh. Hopefully readers feel the same way.

I find a woman's point of view much grander and finer than a man's.

There is nothing quite as potent as a focused life, one lived on purpose.

... in free countries the law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other.

I drag my husband out of bed, hook him up to a coffee to stay awake and make him listen to my plotting and any issues I may be having. I *need* his head-nodding (he's an expert head-nodder).
