beautiful people how-you-feel
I know many beautiful people and their lives are just so terrible. They feel so uncomfortable with themselves. Being comfortable is not about what you look like, but how you feel.
fun black dresses
Instead of going to the gym, I dress in black - a lot more practical and much more fun.

It's not the Jews that killed Christ. It was a political situation, and it was the Romans who killed Jesus. They put Jesus on the cross, not the Jews

When you're in front of the camera, for a small budget or a big budget movie, there's no difference.

Do not hate the people who are jealous because they recognize that you are the best.

I feel fine and comfortable with myself, but not because I'm beautiful.

I've been more conscious of my salt intake, sugar intake, making sure I'm not eating as many processed foods.

writing painful process
The thought of writing was always pleasant, but the process was painful
men made wanted
If God wanted us to ask questions, he would have made us men.
husband kids joy
My husband is my part of my greatest joys, so it doesn't feel like work or like I'm balancing anything. My husband and my kids absolutely come first, so work is just something where I figure out where it will fit.
