“You choose happiness. You don’t wait for it to choose you.”

I balance it all by being extremely organized, and I am a very efficient delegator.

I always know that I am where I am supposed to be. I don’t feel torn and I think that is really important.

I think that yoga, it really is a process.

If you start giving your kids anxiety about food, it’s going to last a lifetime. Moms have to lead by example. Don’t say, “Oh, my jeans don’t fit,” or “Oh, I was bad.” No diets. Nothing like that.

Let’s be clear, I’m a strong woman.

The only way I’m interested in having a baby is the old-fashioned way.

Taste everything, eat nothing.

I despise shopping and department stores.

You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It’s not fair to them.

I have the most beautiful daughter in the world and I’m grateful for her.

I enjoy business. I enjoy inspiring women.

I don’t believe in diets.

I like showing moms what it’s really like having a baby, and how it’s not Hollywood life.

Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good investments.

I have to be in a relationship where I can say what I feel even if it’s wrong – so we can work through it.

I think that if you don’t enjoy doing something you are not going to be good at it.

You can only get next to God through the effort of preparation. To experience the uncreated, the state of awareness will have to be held for several minutes. You are then between time and the time-less – waiting for the unknown, which will come but cannot be willed.

All is waiting and all is work; all is change and all is permanence.

In business, you’re the Chief Salesman. Create a sense of demand, rather than waiting to have demand.

As I grow older part of my emotional survival plan must be to actively seek inspiration instead of passively waiting for it to find me.

I think that most writers who wait until they’re inspired to write are just waiting for the fear to subside.

Textbook survival tells you to stay put. Stop. Wait for rescue. Don’t take any risks. But there’d been a whole host of survival shows like that and I didn’t really want to do that.

Wait not while your foe fits arrow to bowstring when you can send your own arrow into him.

I learned to produce whether I wanted to or not. It would be easy to say oh, I have writer’s block, oh, I have to wait for my muse. I don’t. Chain that muse to your desk and get the job done.
