My routine is really based around my kids, and I try not to hold myself to a schedule, because it is always changing. What has been the most influential thing to help me keep my center is to set priorities and stick to them.

Maybe, through the stories I share about my life and others and the medical research that has been dedicated to the world of positive psychology, they'll relate to the power of a positive perspective and change the world one person at a time. Pipe dream, of course, but I love the thought of being given the chance to inspire!

My husband is the most honest, kind, hard-working, and genuine person, and I honestly don't know how I could ever live without him.

A baby fills a hole in your heart that you didn't know was there.

My biggest pet peeve is inconsiderate people.
