I do take time to pray. I also start my day in gratitude, and as my first foot hits the floor in the morning when I climb out of bed, I say Thank, and as the next foot hits the floor, I say You, and I say Thank you all the way to the bathroom. Starts the day in the right headspace and the right heart space!

I grew up in Ireland, and the ocean was never more than an arm's length away. As lovely as the mountains are and as friendly as the people of Utah are, I feel a bit landlocked here.

I have the soul of a singer and do splendidly in the shower but the world will never hear it. Basically, I'm the only Irish person who can't carry a tune.

I think we all do have a guardian angel. I believe they work through us all the time, when we are thoughtful and good and kind to each other.
