I still have plenty of fight left in me.

To stay balanced, I exercise by walking and taking private Pilates lessons and salsa dance lessons. I also meditate and spend quality time with my kids by baking or doing crafts, hiking, going to the theater and movies.

Had I not worked on myself, put value in myself, I would not have the loving and supportive people that I have right now in my life, including my husband and children.

When I look around and see the beautiful people and wonderful surroundings that are now my reality, I know that I have overcome so much.

I try to get seven to eight hours of sleep. Wash my hands a lot, take a few supplements, like omega-3 and vitamin D. When I feel a cold coming on, I pop some zinc. I do my best to eat a low-sodium, high-fiber diet. I drink mostly water or coconut water. I don't smoke, no drugs, and drink red wine occasionally.

I am inspired by positive people who have overcome difficult obstacles, motivational/spiritual books, nature, and my kids.

My life would be a reflection of my childhood, but it isn't it is a reflection of the dreams that I had as a child for a better life.
