It feels like somebody giving you the keys to unlocking who you really are.

Like Celtic hitting the back of the net in the 90th minute of a Champions League football match.

Safe and peaceful. It gives you a sense of ease.

Hurtful, hard, like concrete but also the soft, silky, smooth, cool pillow that you lay your head on. It’s like birds singing in the morning with the aurora going over your head at night. That’s love for me.

The Rolling Stones’ You Can’t Always Get What You Want.

The state of our government and the direction that this crazy person is taking us in.

My mother, because now I have two sons and I have help around me – including my family – I can't imagine having four little ones under the age of nine, as she did.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, but so early that I knew it wasn’t a death sentence. Until we get a cure for cancer, early detection is our best hope.

I’ve been lucky. When I was a kid, I babysat and was a lifeguard, which I didn’t hate; and then I was a teacher, which I liked.

Right now. I am loving my children’s ages – Wyatt is nine and Levi is six – and I wish I could freeze time.
